TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN- A LETTER FROM YOUR FUTURE WIFE
My dear future husband I received your letter in the middle of the night and that kept me awake until the next morning. I must admit I giggled at a first glance of it but later I pondered over your words and gave me an idea of the kind of person you are.
Undoubtedly from what I read, it seemed to me that you are hungry looking for a prayerful woman as a wife. I must admit I have being praying for ages to meet my future husband but to no avail, now I have heard from you in the form of writing and not facially.
My only worry now is how you look facially, am tempted to wonder whether your facial appearance is as clear as what TV station in Ghana,(TV3, TV Africa, Metro or GTV). Aside the spirituality of my future husband i want him to be a handsome man and so therefore if you are not please you start looking for a place to do plastic surgery but don’t do it the Michael Jackson way please.
Before now you mentioned that is possible I might have met a few wrong people who are not meant for me, as I write to you now I am dating my six guy and I can confidentially conclude to you that it is at the verge of collapsing because I just discovered this last week that this guy has stored my contact on his phone as “tiGO no9” meaning am the 9th lady his dating. I don’t know much about superstition and spirituality but I know that the number 7 stands for perfection and so I therefore pray u will be the next and last person to be with.
On the issue of naming our kids, yes I have some names in mind and they are: Mikki, (name of my first love), Dennis (the name of the sugar daddy who virtually bought me everything I have now) hope you don’t mind? On the issue of giving one of our sons the name John, I dispute because I feel very soon the era of the Johns becoming presidents will end, John Alan Cash will be the end of the Johns.
I am sure you have also gone out with a couple of wrong ladies before now? That isn’t my problem but that we meet soon, get married then i quickly get out of this house, i share the same room with my six siblings, can you imagine what goes on the day we eat beans as supper, i get nasal blockage for weeks, hmm.
If you want to meet me earlier, let me give you places where I can be found: Mondays I am always at the tennis court, Tuesdays at the shopping mall, Wednesdays you will find me at the Golden Tulip hotel, Thursday am found at the Cinema, on Fridays I am at an all night service in Accra, on Saturdays I sleep all day because that’s the only opportunity to have the bed all alone, and finally on Sundays am found in church (find the name of the church yourself)
I am on my way to see my prophet to enquire about your tribal background because if it is what I am guessing then I know I have to enroll in a cake and meat pie catering school as soon as possible before we meet, (fanti men)
Yours virtuous future wife
Miss Dimple Black Beauty
A letter from home.
Many years ago any time I wanted to write a letter to my friends,family or loved ones I tried my possible best to use the first paragraph to describe how I felt within, the mood in which I find myself and how things around me are.
Today and for the very first time in my life as a letter writer, blogger, or reporter, I cant really describe how I feel, let alone describing the safe bosom of Abraham I am resting. Trust you me, you cannot imagine the ecstasy and thrilling experience I am enjoying here. Most of it all is the day I came in contact with the man who died for me.
The crystals in his eyes and the presence of his melodious host of angels is something that can best be described by the camera not with my writing, and coincidentally the photographer is busily dancing to nice tunes from king David playing his harp.
At this point in time I believe you are trying to imagine or picture how it is over here, well let me tell you, there is no movie you have ever watched or anything you have heard that can be compared to the beauty here, not even the Apocalypse movie we watched together when I was with you some years ago.
I also want to tell you I am very happy here and never wish for anything over here, there is no war, nobody here owns a national health insurance card, it was here that I got to know that the sickness that brought me here was one sent on me by my heavenly Father just for me to come and rest from my labour.
Let me tell you how it was on my first day here, after I have had a long excursion with Arch Angel Michael, we came across a very golden street that had some dancing flowers besides the pavements of the street, you cant believe what happened next, the flowers were singing a very nice song, I remember that song was sung on your sisters wedding day, “King of Kings,forever and ever….halleluia…” , Michael pointed my mansion to me, Wooow! there is no mansion I ever saw anywhere in all the 109 countries I travelled to when I was in the world, the roof of my mansion is made of nice pearls, jasper and beautiful glass stones.
When Michael gave me the permission to enter I asked myself within, “where am I going to get the keys to my mansion, by the time I turned to demand for the keys he was no where to be found, he had a call from Jesus to come and attend to some guest who have just arrived here.
I got closer to my mansion still wondering how I was going to unlock it, surprisingly when I got closer I realized there were no locks on the door, no alarm or any sort of security, over here all you need to do in order to enter your room is to call the name of Jesus and the door opens for you.
I never felt so glorious and extra ordinary like I did on that day, I wish you were here to also listen to the song my bed sung when I sat on it, naturally I could also sing the song and it was as if the room was echoing with the voices of legion of angels. To give you a teaser some of the songs being sung here are “His calling every one to come and see the light the light of the world is Jesus, Yesu wuue agyee min kwaa, by Awura Abena and Naacy” and some songs of Daughters of Glorious Jesus.
You will marvel at how I am treated here by the angels, any time they see me they clap their wings together and dance a nice choreography with me. Over here there is no cost of electricity because there is no darkness here, Jesus is the light here so we need no other light.
I also want to tell you to stop crying for my departure, do well and tell my family and friends to stop mourning because I found the safest place ever. Can you believe since I came here is being singing and praising the name of the Most High, there is no want or need here, no sellers, every body have every thing, and I am glad to tell you that I also have the body of Christ, I can vanish every where I want to go and I don’t need a car like the Land Rover I was using. I just returned from a great banquet and the table had no end, I ate from a tree that has 12 fruits that ripe in 12 months, I really enjoyed myself.
When it was time for me to go and see the Almighty I am that I am, I was very much enthused at the welcome I received, later he ordered an angel to bring my crown and ushered me to a nicely decorated chair that no king or queen has ever sat on. I saw some 24 men(elders) in nice and glistering apparel flowing down to the sole of their feet, they had nice white hair and white beard.
You cant believe who I have here with me, Apostle Paul, he gave me the ink and paper I used in writing you this letter, Joseph is also here with me, They say I should tell you that stay chaste and wait patiently so that when your time is up they will have you come have this glamorous experience.
Seriously the only thing that will make my joy complete will be to see you and all my family and friends here with me at home-HEAVEN.
Once Upon a Time In High School: The Days of Letter Writing
Once Upon a Time In High School: The Days of Letter Writing.
Once Upon a Time In High School: The Days of Letter Writing
“The brightness of the day has given me this opportunity to write you this letter” or “Looking into the skies i saw flying birds with different colours. The colours include red, yellow, gold, green and pink. As I saw the pink colour, it reminded me of you, that is why I decided to write this letter to you, How are you?” Which of these two did you use in the days of letter writing?
Do you remember the days of letter writing? The joy of receiving a letter from your school post boy on assembly grounds coupled with the cheering and shouts of your nick name when you are called more than twice for a letter. Lets be realistic those days of receiving letters with smiles and name written on it or going to the post office to check your box whether you have a letter has completed died out of the system.
Letter writing in those days was a fun and not only did it bring us closely to family and friends who were far from us, they helped improve our English and hand writing. In those days one will not write a letter to a dear one without having a big dictionary on the laps, why? Well because you needed to find a new word that will captivate and blow the mind of your reader and if you were at the receiving end you be sure that you were going to be bombarded with words that dictionary could not explain.
The depth of joy and ecstasy a letter brings to some one is beyond explanation, one could keep a letter from a loved one for weeks or months even years and any time it was reread it brought some sort of goose pimples to the body. Aha… I just remembered how I became a victim to that, I can recall clearly the first letter I received from a Junior High School class mate of mine who was in a different Senior High School. No matter how hard I tried to demystify the rationale behind that letter I received from my friend I couldn’t because I received that Valentine Card and letter from some one I least expected. Trust you me, the perfume in the letter I received if was sprayed on my “broni waawu” (second hand shirt) could have taken two decades before it would be out, I hid the letter for more than two years and any time I smelt something bad around my neighbourhood and I just had to go for my perfumed letter and hang it tightly around my nostrils… how was your own experience like?
It was later on that I got the reason why she sent me that letter. In those days getting more of valentine cards and letters on Valentine’s day in some of the boarding schools was a competition among students, the more cards and letters you had the freakiest you were meant to be, so my lady friend sent me that letter just for me to reciprocate so that my reply could increase her chances of winning the” valentine’s day letter girl” What a shock?
In every thing there is some form of “galamsey” (fast money) and so for those of us that seemed to have some nice handwriting and some “easy- to- concoct” words like “What is the alphabetical construction of your human dignity” simply (What is your name) we were making some small money from the “Ghana is longer than Africa” hand-writers, who start writing from one line and end on the next two lines beneath.
Reagan wherever you may be, I hope for you to read this letter. He was my first ever pen-pal I had in school when I was in class three and he was from Canada. Promising me of coming to take to Canada was all I lived for and boasted of to my friends and now if I could ever meet him again I would have sung to him Becca’s song “”You lied to me ! “. My passion for letter writing grew from my encounter with Reagan, I was always running shift with my mother, just waiting for the slightest opportunity for her to come out of her room for me to enter and pounce on any coin that would mistakenly find itself tied around her strong knotted cloth, if for security reasons my hands were failing the operation, I quickly used my teeth and whatever I got was later used to buy aerogram to write letters to my friends.
I am still enjoying some of the meritorious rewards letter writing had to offer. I had a correspondence with some friends in USA, they sent me free bibles upon request and I sold some of them out to people, something I did naively and I am glad to say that my beloved NIV bible I am using now is a product of letter writing gifts I received from some penpals decades ago. I hope you also received something you are still using now?
One Berttina Hoerlin found the love letters written between his father and mother during the World War II and has written a book on these letters entitled “Steps of Courage”, Take a look at one quote from her mother to her father ” Why does destiny force me so incredibly close to you? That I have no breath unless I blend it with yours, that your heart beats with mine”. I am just imagining how this man felt after reading this letter.
However the 4-4-2 ball formation or game plan has changed drastically over the years, with the invention of new technologies everyday and by courtesy of social media such as Nimbuzz, Whatsapp, Qute, Facebook, Flickr, skype and a host of many others letter writing is now in extinction. Today you can send hundred messages, pictures, files to your friends and love ones with just a click. Those days that you had to wait for weeks or month for a letter is no more, today you can talk and message each other instantanously.
With these latest technological development our post offices have less work to do and automatically the revenue level will depreciate. I really miss letter writing days and I wish I could receive a letter very soon, but from who?
You will not end a nice letter to a friend or loved one without giving a nice conclusion and a serious two paragraphed signature, I usually ended mine with Yours Sincerely or Yours Faithful….Joe boy Rosina, today as old as I am and realising now that all was part of fun and youthful exuberance, let me end with…
Yours Truly….Ebo Turkson.
THE RETURN OF THE MAN
Ever witnessed a loved one, be it a family or friend whom you have shared almost every thing with part away with you by walking away from your grasp to the entrance of an aeroplane, at that particular time all you do is to watch his back closely until the flight disappears in the cloud.
One of the most difficult moments in the life of any one is to lose a loved one, yet sometimes is more painful and worrisome to lose some people not to death but to distance, a friend travelling overseas for further studies, a sister living abroad to stay with husband.
This days with the advent of social media and other applications you can virtually do every thing with your loved ones who are far away from you by virtue of Whatsapp, facebook, Qute, Twitter, Skpe, Nimbuzz, just to mention a few. some decades from now it wasn’t so, you could only hear from friends and loved ones abroad only through the post office and so you were always keeping your eyes attentive to the sound of the letterman.
Some people leave our lives and we have no match of a replacement for the vacuum. The friendship, companionship that was created between Jesus and His disciples was very awesome. we often times read about how they ate together, prayed together, shared the word together, in fact it seemed they did every thing virtually together. Before his departure he kept talking to them about how he will one day leave them but due to the parabolic nature of how he said it most of the disciples if not all didn’t understand and know what he was talking about until the day of ascension.
I want to believe in the minds of the disciples and his followers they were saying so this man is really living us today, and the weak will be asking each other “who will pray for us when we are sick” and to others “Who can get us loaves of bread and fishes to eat when hungry”
Before their very eyes the man they loved, cheerish, reverenced and adored most was taken away from them into heaven in the middle of two angels who saw the sad countenance of the people around and consoled them saying People of Galilee, why do you watch Jesus sadly as his being taken to heaven, worry not the same way you see him going the same way you will see him coming.
Earlier on he admonished the disciples to take heart for he (Jesus) had overcome the world, for in this world they will find many troubles. Often times when we share jokes and play with the people around us, we do not appreciate them much until they take leave of us and one day when the unexpected dawns on us we see how important this same people were to our lives.
Many people may be worrying themselves with millions reasons to prove that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, need not that, all I know and can prove is that Jesus was Crucified…He resurrected… and he will come again. Recently after some serious diving into the bible the Spirit of Truth revealed to me that Jesus Christ was not killed but was CRUCIFIED. This is a hard teaching right? Lets see this…….
If you have a sheep and you want to kill it, you do so with a motive, and that could be to enjoy the meat of it or use the skin for a leather bag, shoe or belt. Nobody will grieve or mourn over the animal they have killed personally right?
However if you want to sacrifice a sheep for rituals or any purpose you don’t yearn to enjoy the meat of that animal, no matter how hungry your family members may be, because the body or meat of the animal is intended for a purpose: sacrifice. When any one is doing sacrifice they will often times use what the love most or cheerish so much, but when you want to kill any of your animals you will probably do so to the oldest of your flock, Jesus was the only begotten Son of the Father, meaning He was all God Almighty had and loved Him incomparably. Remember Abraham who was about to sacrifice his only son, do you think if he wanted to kill his son it would be Isaac? No… but because the intention was sacrifice he was willing to.
He has promised a come back in the book of John 14:1-3, where He will come for his own. You can alter this significant point by your tradition, culture or belief, but trust you me whether you believe it or not Jesus is coming for His own, If you never Knew this and want to be part of His own, just say a little prayer of guilt and ask Him to be the Lord and Master of your life.
THIS DAY IF YOU HEAR THE VOICE OF THE LORD HARDEN NOT YOUR HEART…
