Why You Should Never Stop Praying – Even When God Seems Silent

Image
“No matter how dark and hopeless a situation might seem, never stop praying.”  – Billy Graham Sometimes, hope just slips away, doesn’t it? You keep praying, but heaven feels silent. You pound on doors, and they never open. You’re running yourself into the ground, but it feels like everyone else is winning – all while your bills stack up, your relationships unravel, your body won’t heal, and your dreams drift further out of reach every single day.   That’s usually the point when people think about giving up on prayer.   But Billy Graham wasn’t having any of that. He flipped the script.   “No matter how dark and hopeless a situation might seem, never stop praying.”   Why Do We Stop Praying? Honestly, most people don’t quit praying because they stop believing in God. They quit because they’re worn down. It’s just tough to keep asking when you start wondering if God’s even listening, or if He cares, or if anything will ever get better at all. ...

Reflections @ XLII: In the Hands of the Skilled Potter

Image
  Photo: Daniel Dela Dunoo (Author, Ghostwriter, Editor, Publishing professional) When you hit forty-two, you begin to see that life isn’t this tidy, uphill march or a clear-cut story where everything makes sense. It’s messier; woven together with wins, losses, times when everything feels full, and moments that seem empty. Looking back as I turned forty-two, I tried to distill some of these thoughts into a short poem, “Reflections @ xlii.” But really, what’s behind those lines is this: life isn’t so much about arriving somewhere; it’s about always changing, always becoming. The poem kicks off with some honest contrasts: “The joys, however fleeting;   The anguish, however overwhelming;   The respites, however transient;   The toils, however unrelenting…” That’s just how life feels, isn’t it? Joy comes and goes. Pain likes to hang around a little too long. Rest slips away fast, but work and responsibility can feel endless. By forty-two, you’ve lived enough ...

What I Wish I Knew About AI Before Turning 40: 9 Lessons on Adapting to the Future

Image
One lesson I wish I’d picked up sooner? That Artificial Intelligence isn’t some distant sci-fi idea, but a real force shaping everything; from work to daily life; right now. Here are nine lessons on adapting to the future.   1. AI isn’t coming. It’s here. Honestly, for most of my adult life, I thought AI belonged to the future. I figured, “I’ll worry about it someday.” Big mistake. AI already runs the show. It pops up when you search online, influences business decisions, and rewrites how we create and consume stuff. If I’d realized this earlier, I would’ve treated AI like folks treated the internet during its first wave; a revolution demanding immediate attention. Waiting only made it harder to catch up.   2. The sooner you dive in, the easier it gets. This whole “life begins at 40” idea sounds comforting, but it tricks people into thinking there’s loads of time to get serious. Reality check: AI won’t wait. It moves fast. The ones who started early now cruise through ...

Plugging the Leakages: Why Ghana’s Social Programmes Keep Failing the Poor, and How to Fix It

Image
  Ghana has made some progress with social intervention programmes over the years. It is evident in efforts like Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP), the Ghana School Feeding Programme, the National Health Insurance Scheme, and Free Senior High School. These aren’t just buzzwords – each of them emanated from an intentional push by the government to help the country’s most vulnerable people. Thanks to these policies, more kids actually stay in school, access to healthcare keeps growing, and thousands of low-income families get some real financial breathing room.   However, let’s be clear: just having these programmes isn’t enough. It’s not only about how much money the government throws at them or how ambitious the goals sound. What really keeps these programmes going – and makes them work for the long haul – is a solid backbone of internal controls. When the system for monitoring, accountability, and auditing is weak, money slips through the cracks. Waste, fraud,...
