Twain: Tattered Trounced Tortured and Traumatized  (Top Twain Book: 319 Titles)…

A pastor, teacher and author, Emmanuel Ainu comes out with a thoughtful book titled ‘GET OUT OF MY BOAT’. In this book, Ainu outlined most of the causes of difficulties in man’s life which he best referred to as ‘STORMS’. These storms are caused by man himself (or we the human beings). The hunger, poverty, war, corruption, outbreak of sickness and diseases, political conflict, greediness, regional economic hardships, and the likes are the storms caused by man.

The Goth Connection



Edgar Allan Poe died more than 160 years ago, yet his lasting legacy still occupies an honored position in that dark corner of literature, reminding us of the dark side of human nature.  Because of this, the question has often been asked if he could be considered the first goth, or, certainly, one of that subculture’s earliest influences.

which are contrary to His, Holy Spirit.

Nothing is too difficult for The Lord;

He is unrestrained, having no limits!

about His wanting an everlasting family,

that’s fine-tuned with His sacred tenets.

We’ll inhabit Heaven with…

I had been working at St. Mary’s hospital in London for some time when an opportunity came knocking on my door. A private patient, Mrs. Grey wanted to see me when my shift starts. I was on night duty. She was a cancer patient and had surgery. I wondered what she had on her mind.
