Sex is soooooooo... What do you think?

Sex is soooooooo underrated. It's literally the only life giving system on earth! I am here to literally stir the pot a little and get the juices flowing.


There’s something I observed this holiday that’s both fascinating and concerning about how we approach parenting, especially with teenagers.  


Guardians are surprisingly free—almost poetic—when it comes to discussing the mating of animals in front of their kids. You’ll hear statements like, "Huyu kuku anahitaji jogoo," or "Tafutia huyu sungura wa kike ndume kwa kina Maina," or even the infamous "Peleka hii ng’ombe kwa Mburu hii wiki apandwe."😂🤣 Apandwe kwani ni mmea?


The ease, the confidence, the flow of those statements—honestly, it’s impressive. 😎 Yet, when it’s time to talk to these same kids about sex, love, and the changes in their own bodies, suddenly the words disappear faster than the last slice of ugali at dinner or ngumu pale breakfast time. Instead, we shy off, leaving strangers and the internet to step in as “mentors.”🤦🏽‍♂


Surely, wazazi, hii haiwezi kuwa sawa!


Now, let me share a little secret about how I engage young ones on this topic. It’s not rocket science. I was bad in sciences BTW. I just dive straight in and deal with the reactions later. For example, I’ll casually drop, "So, what’s the name of your boyfriend/girlfriend?" Cue either shocked silence and a quick "Passie, Mimi sina," or the bold, "Anaitwa..." 😀


If I’m talking to a girl, I might follow up with, "Oh, so huyo ndio atakuwa husband wako na baba wa watoto wako in the future?" (That one always sparks an interesting reaction). And before you know it, we’re having a deep conversation about relationships, desires, and life choices—with a particular focus on one key area... Sex.😉💋🫦(those are the emojis for sex on WhatsApp apparently).


Look, we all know that at some point, they’ll develop feelings and desires for the opposite gender, and you want to be born through them at some point, 😂 uitwe Cucu or Guka. So, sex will be a big part for your success in being named Grandpa or Grandma. Pretending otherwise won’t help. Let’s guide them to get it right the first time. Start the conversation, however awkward it feels. Because if we don’t, someone else will—and they might not have the wisdom or intentions we’d want for our kids.  


Alright, over to you. Try it today. Go in with "sex is soooooo good. What do you think?" The ball is in your court. Let’s do this for our future guardians.🥂

When the firstborn dies.

Everything Changes When a Firstborn Dies. Today, I found myself reflecting on ancient Egypt—specifically, during the reign of the Pharaoh who didn’t know Joseph (Exodus 1:8). It was a time of great power, but also of great sorrow, especially when things took a tragic turn. Now, you might know the story, but let's revisit it a bit. Joseph, the shepherd boy and his father’s favorite, found himself in a bit of a pickle. His brothers, tired of his dreams and his fancy coat, sold him off to some merchants. These merchants then sold Joseph as a slave in Egypt. Fast forward a few years, and our boy Joseph had climbed the ranks in Egypt, from slave to leader. He was well-known, respected, and even had a family. Then, a severe drought struck, and Egypt, under Joseph’s brilliant management, became the region’s breadbasket. It’s said that the grain stores were so full that they stopped keeping records (Genesis 41:49). This abundance attracted people from all over, including Joseph’s own...

Key Tips for Success Consistency Over Perfection: If you miss a day, don’t give up. Use the lighter weekends to catch up. Break It Down: Split the daily chapters into smaller portions (e.g., morning and evening readings). Use Audio Bibles: If you're too tired to read, listen to the chapters while driving, cooking, or relaxing. Journal Your Journey: Note one insight or question per day to deepen understanding and engagement. Accountability Groups: Form a small Bible study group to stay motivated and share reflections. - Week 1 (Jan 1–7):   Mon: Genesis 1–4     Tue: Genesis 5–8     Wed: Genesis 9–12     Thu: Genesis 13–16     Fri: Genesis 17–20     Sat: Genesis 21–22     Sun: Genesis 23–24   - Week 2 (Jan 8–14):   Mon: Genesis 25–28     Tue: Genesis 29–32     Wed: Genesis 33–36     Thu: Genesis 37–40     Fri: Genesis 41–4...

Praying for the physically ill.

Image
Whenever we have a loved one not feeling well, admitted in hospital or maybe even in a critical condition according to the medics, prayer can become hard. We get to a point of prayer fatigue (I first heard that term from a friend called Sarah) and if things are not handled well, we may end up praying amiss as James describes it. I have highlighted the WE sections to emphasize the value of prayer of unity. However, if you're praying while alone, you still are not alone. Believers pray in the company of other believers seen or unseen. That's why our Lord taught us to pray "our father" and not my father. We're never alone in the place of prayer. May this guide help you pray for yourself, your loved one, friend or a friend to a friend. Pray in the spirit and with understanding. 1. Praying for God's Will to Be Done In Mark 1:40-42, a man with leprosy came to Jesus and said, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus responded, "I am willing....
