Lost from the head.


This Morning We boarded a mat to town with two of my lady friends, they love it when we discuss widely on an issue and they will not get enough of it until they've dug deep in thoughts and understanding and I have spit every idea with explanation.

We occupy the back seat and starts this conversation, "  Sam... if you get married and realised that your wife have fallen for your friend, would you send her away? " wah tough question right? I shared my thoughts making a stand that for the sake of our kids sending her away would be the last option, I maintained that God's major agenda for marriage was to raise a godly offspring, its about the kids,.

The talk got hotter, a bigger number got attracted to our conversation, silently they listened to us argue and debate  it looked odd, we were the youngest in the Matatu, others just listened. but this middle aged man couldn't hold it any
more, he turned back to us, severally confirming who were debating such a topic..

Finally he gained confidence and said, young guys listen....
I'm married, now addressing me " This ladies are ...****..."  he begun his story, "let me share with you how I got my wife, A friend of mine invited me to their church, I'm raised in church so I didn't have a problem with it, On my visit I saw this lady lead in praise, and I "felt" for her, ever since I pursued her and finally we got married" we were all silently listening, " the praise leader I saw in the pulpit ceased after the wedding day, that night, remains a nightmare, We could tell his marriage ain't working,
he continued with the sad story,. the most shocking was the point he said The lady was experienced in matters of marriage, he was naive, he didn't know anything, it was terrible..

He insisted that the best couple requires two "experienced"  people, I highly opposed, but what do I say, amn't yet married..

So what advice do you give us as youths,? "young man don't just sit in church, go out, date Njoki, Wanjiku, Akinyi, get experienced, I couldn't believe it!! His like a father to me..

After a long conversation nobody came to our rescue, I boldly asked him, "and do you still go to church?" Yes I do,.
"Do you talk to the youths? " I love doing it..
automatically I knew we have lost a generation.. by then we were alighting already in town.

For some reasons I didn't agree with this man, though he looked elderly, insisting that he's a church member, he seats in a youth forum and share? I pitied his congregations.

Where is our generation heading?
with this kind of Fathers we need Jesus!!
#the generation is lost from the head. not from the toe...
#cia thua ndongaria itikinyagira nyeki# Its a Chinese saying..  someone interpret
blessing to you.
