The Month of October

In 2008, I was preparing for a trip to go to an academic conference in Mozambique. I have commented about this in a previous post.

In 2009, I finished my Master of Science Thesis on a day like today: The 6th of October 2009.

In 2012, there was a launch of the Bible week by Malawi Bible Society.

To my discomfort, there were a lot of gun shots yesterday, the 5th of October, 2014.

The 4th of October was, there was supposed to be the coronation of M’Mbelwa.

I am very sure the trip to Mozambique turned me an enemy to the Malawian Authorities.

Mozambique and Malawi seem to have suffered sour relations due the wars and possible attempts of revolt which have always seemed to start from across the Mozambican Border.

The Month of September is already a major difficulty due to the war on terror, the month of October started to be difficult in 2008.

What follows? I don’t know.

Being on The Internet

The internet has been to most people a communication platform. To keep in touch with friends and other activities that distance and cost does not allow them access to.

When you have a friend who has been ling in a life of danger. You almost always want to know how  they are every few seconds of the day. I have about 200 friends on Facebook, and 200 friends on Google. These are mostly people who have been around my life as I have been growing up. They always want to see how I am when the day is today on every given day.

For I do face challenges that I should normally face.

There have been several times I have tried to be offline for a while but I find myself getting back online every now and then. To say something to someone. For the local location I am in does not have much friends for me.

Every single thing of pleasure to me is easily taken away unreasonably it is like someone is determined to see me unhappy.

There was once, I managed to see how my friends possibly react when I get offline. It was a disaster on my heart until someone passed to me a message that the person I was concerned with is ok.

When I am absent from the internet, it is possible that I am block, or busy with something else, or possibly have an internet outage. But I tell you, the absence makes some send money to me so that I should not be block. if I am busy with something else, it only give peace to other people if they know I am busy with something that makes me happy.

I wanted to get on Facebook. Someone seems to have been keeping me away from the internet because I should be weaned off the concerns of the world. But at the time, I have been sensing that someone is worried about my absence.

I thought perhaps, I should see if I can find something alternate. I typed jes.us and found a King James Bible Version on the website.

I was happy. Just looking at the preface makes you want to know more about King James himself and you read and read and read….

Can I ever keep off the internet?
