Let's say a guy named Fred is attracted to a woman named Martha. He asks her out to a movie; she accepts; they have a pretty good time. A few nights later he asks her out to dinner, and again they enjoy themselves. They continue to see each other regularly, and after a while neither one of them is seeing anybody else. And then, one evening when they're driving home, a thought occurs to Martha, and, without really thinking, she says it aloud: "Do you realize that, as of tonight, we've been seeing each other for exactly six months?" And then, there is silence in the car. To Martha, it seems like a very loud silence. She thinks to herself: I wonder if it bothers him that I said that. Maybe he's been feeling confined by our relationship; maybe he thinks I'm trying to push him into some kind of obligation that he doesn't want, or isn't sure of. And Fred is thinking: Gosh. Six months. And Martha is thinking: But, hey, I'm not so sure I want this kind...
Woke up this morning from you nibbling on my ear, and I opened my eyes and saw your goofy smile. What I did not tell you was the dream I had, just before I came to.

I am chopping the onion and we have two glasses of red wine that we were drinking, as you ask me “Did you rinse them Baby,”” what?”,” The onions Zama?” I nod and you continue to tell me about a story about Aviwe and telling me he ...
We live in times where facts seem to matter more than the truth. I guess because facts are easier to gather and understand as opposed to the truth. Most times truth defies all logic. Fact can answer the ‘ where ’, ‘ how ’ and ‘ when ’ but can fail to answer the ‘ why ’. Evolution theory, as a case in point; presents its findings as fact that the human race is because we have progressed from an inferior ape species and that we are still evolving. When the Bible teaches that God created us from nothing, so what is a fact or truth here? Here is an unchanging fact; light is devoid of the dark.
