SPECIAL FEATURE | Soul. Lifting Story From An Author

A woman I know tells a story about the time she burnt out the engine of her father's car, which he had loaned her when she was in college. It was the end of semester break, and she was going to head back to school on the bus, a seven-hour ride with a lot of stops on the way. Ellen had been given a lot of christmas gifts that were bulky, including a down-filled comforter and a new desktop computer. Her dad told her that rather than deal with many big items on the bus, she could drive his car back to school and return it the next time she came home for a visit. What a gift.

The trip back to college was a breeze. Ellen parked the car in a safe spot and planned to drive home and return it within a few weeks. In the meantime, every now and then she'd drive to the grocery store or the mall. Pretty soon, she was taking her friends on a short trips here and there just for fun.

One of those trips, Ellen noticed a red light blinking on the dashboard. She didn't think it was anything serious; after all, her father took great care of the car and it was in good condition. She just kept driving.

Soon she noticed some smoke coming out of the hood and decided she better get the car to campus. Next came a few loud sputters, and then the engine died. When the tow-truck driver arrived, it didn't take him long to figure out the problem: That read light on the dash was an oil indicator. Ellen had neglected to check out the light, and now the engine was beyond repair.

A few days later, when her father arrived (in his remaining car) and she met him at the gas station where the car had been towed, Ellen was terrified. She had abused a privilege and ignored a simple warning. There was no excuse for her neglect, and now she'd destroyed hert father's car. She knew he was furious, and there was no defense for her behavior. Ellen told her father how sorry she was for her carelessness, but he just told her to sit in the car while he assessed the damage.

After learning that the car was now worthless, Ellen's father arranged for the gas station to dispose of it. He actually had to pay them to take it off his hands! Now it was time for Ellen to face his wrath.

As they drove off from the trash car, his father asked Ellen, "Where's the best restaurant in town?" That was the last thing she'd expected to hear, but she directed him to it. As they sat at the table and looked at the menu, Ellen couldn't think about food. Fortunately, her father ordered for both of the: broiled trout almondine. They sat in silence while they waited for their food, every minute feeling like hours.

When the trout arrived, Ellen's father said to her, "Tonight I want to teach you a lesson that you'll never forget." She knew she deserved whatever she got. Would he make her pay him for the car? That would take forever. Would he yell at her? Maybe he would just tell her how disappointed he was in her. In some ways, that would be the worst punishment.

Then he took his knife and fork in hand and said, "I am going to teach you how to remove the skeleton from cooked trout." Not a word was said about the car that night- or ever again.

Ellen's father had been angry about her behaviour-who wouldn't? But he also knew that Ellen had learned her lessons without retribution from him. Ellen is nearly sixty now, and her father died many years ago. But she tells this story as if it happened last week, and she is still in awe of her father's forgiveness. His grace made a greater impact on her than his punishement ever would have.

God's word says that He behaves the same way towards us that Ellen's fther did towards her.

"The Lord your God is in the midst of you, a Might One, a Saviour (who saves)! He will rejoice over you with joy; He will rest (in silent satisfaction) and in His love He will be silent and make no mention (of past sins, or even recall them); He will exult you with singing.

Zephaniah 3:17.

From Joyce Meyer's book: GOD IS NOT MAD AT YOU.

BOOK REVIEW | Ben Carson's GIFTED HANDS

Gifted hands was written in 1990. It's a 224 page book. ( for the copy shown in this review)

Gifted hands is a chronicle of the life of Benjamin Carson as he journeyed from poverty to stardom.

Ben Carson in this book, tells us an intriguing story of his childhood struggle, and how made himself available to be used by God through his hands to give life and hope to dying kids.

A home journal in the book had this to say about his attitude towards work.
'' He frequently did surgeries that nobody else would touch''

This was a conversation between Ben Carson and a patient, when the patient got to know that Dr. Ben Carson would handle his case.

Ben Carson: It's all in God's hand.
Craig(patient): But we believe you let God use your hands.

Ben Carson did not leave out his failure in the story as unsuccessful surgery were also mentioned but the amazing thing about them was that relatives of diseased were always thankful to him for being willing to undertake a case that everyone else believed was impossible.

In-spite of the medical success recorded in the book, the book also has lessons for;

] Single mother and mothers
]An inner street kid (poor kid).
]Someone who wants to be a role model to his or her sibling.
]A school teacher who wants to raise great kids from kid who people team as dull.
]An individual who feels easily intimidated.
]A christian who finds it difficult to believe God for a miracle
]Any one who wants to grow their career to any great level.

LESSONS FROM THE BOOK
] Positive affirmation and how it relates to personal growth.
]Never over look honesty
]Hard work rewards.
]Qualities of a role model
]Team work skills
]How not to overlook reading and reading outside your field.
]How to be resilient.
]Importance of being a people person.
]Miracles still happens
]Why you should go the extra mile for a client.
]How to take calculated risk
]How to handle criticism.
]Why you should protect your staff.
]We can trust God to handle any situation.

Its indeed a book for anyone who wants to attempt the seemly impossible.

WRITERS' CORNER | Starting out and Succeeding as a Writer (Pt 1)

Being a writer is a big deal and also not a big deal. It's not a big deal because no generation has ever placed a high demand on ones ablility to write like our generation.

It is not uncommon to hear someone say stuff like, "can you mail me your business Idea?" "can you chat or let me know what's your mind through my facebook inbox or mail. I would reply later." All of this is in a bead to spend time wisely because speed is measured in time.

It's also a big deal because if you want to write a book targeted at an audience, they are a lot of skillful approach that one must not overlook. One of these is to make sure the information is relevant to the audience and how best to communicate your views to them. It demands too that you have insight and hindsight to what you are writting on.

Permit me therefore to say, that, if there is a generation that must kill the myth of 'writing is a talent meant for a few', it our this generation. For no matter how much we argue that writing is a talent, the truth still remains that it can also be learnt.

On 'The Writer's Corner', we shall be taking tips that would help any become a better writer. So here is the first tip.

TIP ONE: BELIEVE YOU CAN WRITE. One thing that hinders to be great writers is a poor belief system. You find some saying things like."people would reject my work" " it won't make sence?" "Mr B said my works are aweful, I don't think it would be any better"

Those thought pattern are dream killers. They drain your ideas faster than you can imagine.

When you think of yourself as not good, that what you act out eventually.

But here is the good news, as long as you can communicate verbally, you have access to a paper and a pen and you thought about something great worth writing; my dear, you can write and write real good.

So first you need to take your mind off your concerns and focus on your goal of writing with determination in your heart.

No great man ever got to the top without fears but they mastered their fears and refused to go through the motion.

Grace and excellence flows in the direction of those who believe that they can do stuffs unimaginable.

Rejection would come but don't let it stop you. My dear 'wanna be writer', do yourself a favour and believe you can write.

Next time on "The Writers Corner", I would be sharing the second tip.

Have a lovely day.
