It is the sixth-largest cathedral in the world. The Cathedral church of Saint. Peter and Saint. Paul, aka the Washington National Cathedral. It pierces through the air, tall and elegant, blending in but standing out at the same time. It looks like an ancient castle, like a mystery house. I was drawn to visit it because it's a house of prayer. Apart from the imprint it left on mind while driving by on a tour bus, I'd heard fascinating stories about the Gothic architecture. Front view of the Cathedral George Washington in his coat of many colors :-) All Catholics know this structure. Reminded me of "Christ the King" in Kampala Space window. The dot in the middle of the circle (up there) contains moon rock that  Apollo xi brought  back from his trip to the moon. South Rose. Depicting the Church triumphant, imagery from the book of Revelations Choir area View from the Pulpit Hall way The chair that qualifies the churc...

Fill in the missing letters. Friday evening found me bobbing my head, raising my hands and singing joyfully in the Patriot Center at a Israel Houghton concert. I was sitting at a strange angle with those poles at an unavoidable spot. I'm sure the m_stery l_tters will n_t tickle your brains much. God is the essence of my life but music has the effect of crowning it all. In moments of worship, I feel one with God. I feel like this is where I belong, everyday. Every moment. All the days of my life. It will be a full time occupation when I get to heaven but while I'm here on earth, I got stuff to attend to and some how worship should be woven into my daily routine. I try to be a good wife but I slip often and my Sam takes it in stride (bless his heart). Two Sunday's ago, I pulled out all the stops and made him a sumptuous breakfast (they are rare like that). It looked good and tasted great too. Mich exclaimed, "wow! mummy, this looks nice" (mind you, ...

Mich cried!

We went on a pet hunt. At the pet store we looked at fish of various sizes, shapes and colors. They darted back and forth, swimming up to the glass and making fish faces :-). They looked beautiful. Buy a fish tank Buy fish food Buy water filter Clean the tank every so often Total expense - $50 Chances that Amani would yank out the little creatures were extremely high. So fish it was ... NOT!! We saw some pretty birds. I loved them!! Beautiful colors, cute beaks - perfect pets. Buy a cage Buy branches Watering can Bird food On the whole more expensive than fish - $70 Chances that Amani would open the cage and let the bird fly - very high. Cats and dogs were out of the question. To think of potty training,  finding a home for them when we are away... too much work. I already have 2 little people to deal with, not about to add to an already complex equation. Hamsters? too big and expensive Snakes, Chameleons, out of the question. Mouse Buy mouse cage Buy m...

She is the cutest little girl I know, a miracle straight from God’s throne room. Her screech when I come through the door is priceless! Her heart beats wild and she beams with excitement. I have had good belly laughs watching her discover the world around her and I have learned a few lessons too. One day, I watched as she tried to demystify a ray of light. She grabbed it with all the might her hand could master, turned her little chubby palm over to see what she had caught but … it was gone. She tried again, grabbed the ray of light, slowly and carefully turned her hand over and again… nothing. She looked puzzled but within seconds she was skipping along to the next thing. Don’t stop being curious. On another occasion, I watched again as she raised her forefinger and thumb to catch a bubble, the shock and surprise on her face when it popped and disappeared was priceless. Life from a child’s point of view is fantastic! If only I could adopt half her perspective, I would ab...
