We allow govt to strip our blessings away

Bahamians, God has blessed us with so much, yet we continuously allow the government to strip our blessings away from us.

Online workshops

Humour was his game, but powerful he became

Humour is the capacity to express or perceive what’s funny, and is both a source of entertainment and a means to cope with what is difficult and awkward. Stressful situations often make for good environments that nurture humour, provoking laughter. Whether the joke is lighthearted or absurdly provocative, humour plays an important role in forming social bonds, releasing tension and attracting others.

Continuous blacklisting of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas by the European Union

Once again, I approach your reader’s desire to be heard on a matter that usurps itself - in a manner of adverse-ascendancy by the EU and without justification, I might add.

I call a spade a spade and fear only The Lord Jesus Christ and in a good way.

The gift of optimism

Winston Churchill once said "a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, while an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty". Optimism reflects the belief that the outcomes of events or experiences will generally be positive.

Many are called but only a few are chosen by God to lead a nation

Many are called, but only a few are chosen by God to lead a nation by being his instrument and servant to make a difference in the world for humankind.

Please don’t get rid of cheques

SO, the good Governor of The Central Bank thinks cheques are redundant and in 2023 he will declare them a dinosaur.

‘Ya born dere, ya born dere’

Who are we? Saxon’s Superstars want to know.

Is $984,000 frugal?

Someone said a few days ago that we need to be more FRUGAL – thousands rushed to their cells and Googled - Frugal!

Downtown Nassau challenges

I just stopped by to indulge you in allowing me the small space in your letters column to highlight several points worth mentioning – and in the interest of Bahamians.

The Word and The Bahamas

Please allow me a little space to express what was put on my heart concerning the Bahamas and the word that was given.
