Did you know care for the vulnerable is one of the most emphasised teachings in the entire Bible?

At random, there are over 200 direct references on caring for the poor, the needy, widows, orphans and strangers.

Including indirect or related themes, justice, mercy, and generosity account for over 1000 Bible verses.

The Bible often places helping the needy above ritual religion, and worship without compassion is seen as meaningless.

In his letter to the early church in Jerusalem, James focuses heavily on practical faith—how belief should show up in actions.

“Religion that God accepts… Is this, to look after orphans and widows” James 1:27

Meet your money before you meet your dream man.

As a woman, getting married or prioritising marriage before achieving financial independence is missing the point. The worst thing that you can ever do. It doesn't matter how much that man loves you.

Love alone cannot sustain marital union. But more often this is a reality that hits in too late.

Children will start coming, and with it more responsibility. Without good finances, you are set for more reliance on a stranger who doesn't think you are worth much.

Research in psychology and social behaviour shows that 6/10 people relied on don't give respect, are controlling and at some point they are going to get tired and think you are completely worthless.

Your coin is very important. As important as your purpose. Priority number one that you don't exchange for anything.

What I mean is even when you are in it and your man demands you quit your job for family, you have to treat it equally grievous as abandoning your purpose.

One to be thrown out without thought because it doesn't need one.

There isn't any way you are going to abandon your coin to heed to your man who thinks you don't need to be out there looking for money.

It's that serious

Did you know, armed with a Ksh10,000 daily spending plan and 1 billion shillings in your bank account, it would take you 100,000 days to finish it off?

Now, to put that into perspective, one hundred thousand days is 274 years! Suppose one lifetime lasts at least a hundred years; a billion shillings with a spending spree of Ksh 300,000 in a month lasts 2 lifetimes and an extra 74 years.

If stacked vertically in thousand-shilling notes, a billion shillings would rise as high as 100 metres, which is just the same height as a 33-storey building.

Oh, and you haven't thought of the weight, have you?

1 billion shillings weighs 1 tonne, which is about the payload capacity of a Mitsubishi L200 2.4 L diesel pickup.

Yes, you heard me right!

The grave that's toxic work environment’ | Anthony Riri The grave that's toxic work environment’ The most toxic work environment is created by bosses or owners who think you are nothing but a common field worker just waiting for a salary. To them, nobody thinks. Using your brain and coming up with great plans for the company is their prerogative. N...

This is very unfortunate; cases of disgruntled men who kill their partners or former partners are alarming. You endure living with an abusive man, you finally leave him, continue parenting the children alone, and then, after everything seems to be falling into place after wasted years, a man who failed and can't stand to see you thrive walks to your place of work and kills you.

This is very annoying.

This is very annoying. What has happened to this girl is heartbreaking. You are going on with your business only to be told later on that your daughter is missing. You desperately embark on a search hoping to find her somewhere only to find her r***d, brutally murdered and buried. This is the worst news for any parent.

This is Tamara Blessing Kabura
She was 7 years old. She is from Nyeri Town.

Tamara went missing over the weekend with her missing poster being circulated online. She had last been seen at the New Open Air Market in Nyeri.

People have been searching for her and today her body was found , she had been r***d, murdered and buried in a popular Bebabeba man's house.( Bebabeba are the people who pull trolleys or carry goods )

The body was taken to the mortuary for a post mortem and the suspect was arrested.

Nyeri town has erupted into riots with residents demanding that the suspect be handed over to them as they don't trust the justice system. The police had to use tear gas to disperse the crowds.

I cry for you Charity. On 2nd of May as I was checking on my WhatsApp alerts I viewed your status which you had written " happy birthday to me" with your beautiful photo on it. I wished you happy birthday and you responded. Only to die one day later through the hands of a man who didn't deserve you. Your blood is on this useless man's hands and his fight with God just began.

This is Charity Mukami Machira.

She lived in Kirigiti and worked in an insurance company in their procurement department.
Her family described her as a generous , smart , soft spoken and always had a kind word to tell everyone. She just turned 30 on 02nd May.

Her best friend called her on Monday morning and she didn't pick her calls. A bit alarmed she called a friend who usually uses the bus with Charity to go to work together, she said she hadn't seen her that morning.

She kept calling Charity and as it wasn't her behavior not to pick calls , she shared with another mutual friend about her discomfiture. They reached out to her mother who said for the first time Charity hadn't called her that morning as she always did. Her mother reached out to her workplace and was informed that she hadn't reported. Her colleagues said she hadn't responded to calls or emails either. Her husband Boni wasn't answering her calls either.

They contacted a neighbour who they were in Chama together, she told them she had heard a loud scream on Sunday night but she wasn't sure where it could possibly have come from. Armed with this information they went to her landlady and together with the police they broke down the door to her house.

There they found Charity. Lifeless. Bloody. Murdered.

Her postmortem reads she had been hit six times on the head. Three wounds on her forehead. Behind her ear and behind her head.

Her husband Boniface Mwaniki Mugo had left a note addressed to Charity's brother: He stated that everything in that house belonged to him. The goods should be given to his younger brother. The man's last call was traced to Meru.

Parenting is one of the few responsibilities that you make a choice to bear. When you sit down with your spouse and decide to have children, it's in their absence. It's like deciding to lift something because you want to.

If at some point the marriage can no longer hold, parental responsibility for both parties must not break.

Though it's conducive for children to grow up in the presence of both parents, taking care of your offspring isn't tied to the other person. You owe your children your time, energy, and the best you can get. Remember they didn't choose you; you chose them.

It is concerning that some partners, mostly men, want to hang their support of the children if the mother complies with their demands. This person doesn't have to comply with your demands. What belongs to you is the children; this bond cannot be broken. You and your partner are bound by mutual trust, which could break; you do not own them.

Support your children even if you are separated from their mother; give them the best you can manage. That's being responsible.

‘The Journey Ahead’

Shortly after leaving Egypt, life ahead for the Israelites presented a new set of challenges. But different from before, their destiny was now in their hands. The merciless Egyptian masters were no longer on their backs, beating them to complete unreasonable quotas. They also had the physical presence of God in their midst. He would lead them through a pillar of cloud during the day and a pillar of fire during the night.

But the Israelites did not cooperate with God's plan to get them to Canaan. No sooner had God met one of their demands than they went back to Moses demanding more. They even told Moses at some point that things would have been better in Egypt.

God wasn't pleased that they kept looking back.

Many of them would ultimately not make it to the promised land.

God wants you to focus right ahead.

It could be true that where you left provided you with something, but you left because it was no longer productive for you. You left so as to realise meaningful progress.

The toxic relationship you keep on looking back to provides some bit of security. But then you never had peace. Things had stopped moving; that's why you left.

God spoke to get you out of an oppressive environment. He spoke to set you right on the progress stretch.

He isn't going to be pleased that you look back.

That you think things would have been better if you stayed. The journey ahead isn't going to be without obstacles, but it's what you need to reach 'Canaan.’

You can't make it to your destiny with a divided heart.

There is a divine reason why your full attention is required to get you to your destiny.

God knows that even an army of double-hearted personnel soon disintegrates.

‘The Second Bus Conductor’

In 1993, Kevin Carter, a South African photojournalist on a freelance basis, set foot in Ayod, Sudan, on a mission to cover the raging famine there. Acting on the UN's call to create global awareness, Carter was also on assignment for the New York Times.

True to his mission, a moment unfolded right in front of his eyes. Kevin Carter was in place to capture his award-winning shot as a severely malnourished Sudanese child struggling to access a UN aid centre in Ayod fell short of strength and bowed to the ground. A hungry vulture was closely stalking by.

The New York Times published Carter's shot on March 26, 1993, and it won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography in 1994.

But Carter’s photograph remains one of the most haunting images in photojournalism. It is argued that, despite journalistic constraints, Kevin Carter had a moral duty to step in and help.

Though the image did significantly raise global awareness of the famine, which led to increased humanitarian efforts, Carter himself never overcame the guilt of watching a suffering human stare at death without offering any help. Unable to overcome his trauma, Carter took his own life on July 27, 1994, aged 33. Not even winning the Pulitzer Prize would stop him from regressing into depression.

Carter may have done enough good as a journalist, creating awareness on humanitarian crises beyond measure, but his conscience smouldered at the reality of letting go of his chance to do more for a hapless human in need of urgent help as he watched only consumed to fulfil his job obligations.

But no job or activity is as important as saving a human life. That's it.

It's normally said that Carter's depression set in when one day during a phone-in programme interview, someone called in and asked him what happened to the little child. Innocently he replied, "I couldn't tell." Then the caller said, "I put it to you that there were two vultures on that day; one had a camera."

A few days ago, an almost similar case to this happened along Thika Rd when a conductor in one of the buses plying that route threw someone to his death because he lacked the required fare of 80 bob.

Despite the bus having other passengers on board, no one rose to save the situation.

The conductor may have been savage, but I put it to you there were two cutthroat groups on that bus. One wore a conductor's uniform, and the other a civilian one, seated, undisturbed by the problem of the other person.
