OBSERVER'S CORNER

One glorious day, I ventured out with my brothers for a delightful gathering filled with lively conversation and shared experiences. The group was a mix of ages, with both the young and old coming together to exchange stories. I was thrilled by the wealth of experiences shared, spanning from work to church and beyond. You know that feeling when someone shares something that resonates with you so deeply? I was so engrossed in the conversation that I failed to notice the beauty of nature surrounding us until one of my companions pointed out the radiant moon casting its shimmering light over the sea. The sight was so breathtakingly colorful that it filled me with a newfound appreciation for the wonders of nature and the divine creations of God. At that moment, I felt pure elation and wished I could witness such a sight every night, though the constraints of time and space made it impossible. Just as I once read that justice and peace have kissed, I witnessed the magical union of the moon

Poem by Naa Doodua Doodu As challenges rise, perseverance and patience become our norm. If we falter, we fail, for regret has no remedy. In the face of adversity, let us not be swayed by trouble, But instead, place our hope in the Lord for a brighter tomorrow. We make our choices, but God guides our path. He never disappoints; His "no" is the best answer for the moment. Though pain may endure for a night, joy comes with the dawn. So, let us cling to God with patience and perseverance, for He is faithful.

A captivating story shared with me by a friend has stuck with me, as it resonates deeply with my own experiences. Like many young men in Ghana, I had the opportunity to work during the period between my basic school education and continuing to the next level of my education. This was a time before mobile phones were common, when airtime transfers, airtime cards, and call centers were the norm. I worked under someone who genuinely cared about my well-being, and I could see the concern on his face as I left to further my education. Life presented me with numerous opportunities. It was unusual for someone to be offered a teaching position straight out of high school, especially when many high school graduates were struggling to find work. I found myself teaching three subjects and taking on multiple responsibilities, while trained professionals had little to do. This pattern continued after I completed tertiary education. I couldn't understand why these individuals received higher sal

I've learned my lesson the hard way, and wish I had a time machine to fix all my past mistakes! But as they say, "When you fall, it's a mistake, but staying down is a decision." That quote has been my saving grace and kept me moving forward. I used to trust people way too easily and let me tell you, that got me into a lot of trouble. The final straw that broke the camel's back was a doozy. If it weren't for the fact that the people involved were understanding, I don't think I would have ever recovered from the shock. Sharing sensitive information with someone who has a vested interest in the topic is a recipe for disaster. I once spilled my guts to a close friend, thinking I was giving him a heads up, only to have it blow up in my face because he had his agenda. It was a mess, let me tell you. Turns out, this so-called friend only betrayed me because he was jealous of my relationship with the person in question. Talk about drama! After that whole debacle,

I have been emphasizing the importance of a collaborative effort within the Church, particularly from the youth. When the youth take the lead in church activities, the progress and impact are beyond imagination. A while back, the youth of Prince of Peace Catholic Church organized Alabanza, and it was a huge success. As I was looking through my photos, I stumbled upon a picture from the Elogio Moment. To my surprise, this program is led by the youth of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church in Sowutuom. After some inquiries, I discovered that this is a program that you absolutely cannot miss on June 30, 2024. In life, it is crucial to listen to the Word of God, praise Him, worship Him, and pray to Him, that is the main reason we must be there. We must constantly challenge ourselves to allow God to work in our lives, and I am thrilled to see that the youth have embraced this wholeheartedly. Let's all come together to support this incredible moment, just as we do with any other program.

I have been captivated by a particular inspirational quote, or better yet, a life-inspiring mantra shared by a friend. Each post grabs my attention and resonates with me deeply. These quotes have taught me the importance of seizing opportunities with urgency and dedication as if my very existence depended on it. One story that has stuck with me since my early days is the notion that what must be done should be done swiftly and efficiently. The question posed is simple - Why not now? This philosophy does not suggest hasty or careless actions, but rather emphasizes the importance of thoughtful consideration coupled with decisive action, all in the pursuit of goodness. The story that continues to echo in my mind is that of a man who encountered an elderly gentleman struggling to navigate a treacherous open drain in a desolate street. Despite the potential risks of being in such a location, the man paused, pondered, and ultimately decided that what must be done should be done promptly and

Almost forgetting about her and all the incidents surrounding our relationship, I had the opportunity to travel out of the country to further my studies and work. One day, as I was taking a stroll through the bustling streets, I suddenly turned my head and caught sight of a mesmerizing damsel. My heart skipped a beat, and at that moment, I knew I had to seize my chance. As I approached her, I realized that the missing piece that had left me feeling dejected was none other than that beautiful damsel. I was so captivated by her presence that I almost tripped over my own feet when she turned and her radiant smile illuminated my face. We stood there, both stunned, as we locked eyes. And then, without hesitation, we embraced. She jokingly asked me if I had been stalking her, and we both laughed. We found a quiet spot to sit and catch up on how life had been treating us. It was then that she revealed she had left the country because she didn't want to be a burden in my life. We reconnect
