Coca-Cola in my Fanta

A wise lady once told me, only after marriage do you realize what the truth really is. The first two years may be okay, but after that is when you realize that you married someone totally different from what you thought you were getting. It’s like buying a can of Fanta because the label says Fanta and finding that the contents inside are Coca-Cola.

Proudly Sponsored by…

Across the road from the restaurant, I see a little girl as I sit by the terrace. She is wearing what appears to be a red and white polka dot dress. Hard to really tell as she is covered in mud head to foot. She holds with both hands an ice cream cone as if it was her most prized possession in the world. She spots me staring from across the road and she smiles, such a beautiful smile. Then she waves, I wasn’t expecting that. I return the smile and wave back enthusiastically. Hello.

Prayers to an Evil God

He stopped praying ages ago. After all why bother anymore? And it’s not because he loves sin and worldly things. No, he is an upright man, and as faithful as true Christians can be. It’s just that God don’t listen to him anymore. His wife has been on a hospital bed for 6 years and he has prayed for her and prayed for her and prayed for her and she is still there, still going through therapy, still not allowed to leave the hospital. Her disease shows no sign of ever regressing. And he is worn out, mentally, physically and emotionally. His home is a wreck. His money ran out months ago and now he has huge debts. He can’t go to work, who else would look after her? He has called and God just won’t answer. The Bible says seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened to you, ask and it will be given to you. The Bible is a liar.
