TOBACCO-YOUR POISON

 TOBBACCO-YOUR POISON
Forbidden fruits tastes sweetest, and indeed they do but the one thing we fail to realize is that they are forbidden, out of bounds and they should not be taken at any costs.
            Many are the times when we are told to refrain from forbidden fruits but we tend to think that it’s just a plot to prevent us from enjoying life and having fun. One of such fruits is smoking tobacco. I was reading a book entitled Vibrant Health and as I got to the topic that touched on smoking tobacco… This is what I found out:
Tobacco contains over 4000 chemicals, and others are formed the moment tobacco is burned. Some of the chemicals include

Acetone- is a solvent used as a nail polish remover
Arsenic- is commonly used as a rat poison
Ammonia- is added to cigarettes to enhance the addictive elements of nicotine
Benzene- is used as a solvent in fuel; also in dyes and rubber
Carbon monoxide-highly poisonous gas that is lethal in large doses
Cadmium- Highly poisonous metal used to make batteries
Formaldehyde-Used to preserve dead bodies
Lead- Highly toxic metal capable of causing serious damage to the brains, kidneys and nervous systems
Nicotine- A chemical that makes cigarettes addictive and it’s a powerful drug
Tar- Is a substance that actually transports many of the other chemicals incigarettes smoke directly into the body


The fact that tobacco contains:
Acetone means one is actually consuming nail polish remover.
Arsenic is used as rat poison that means a consumer of tobacco is slowly but surely committing suicide.
Cadmium is used to make car batteries then that only means that one is headed to his/her grave.
Formaldehyde- Used to preserve dead bodies; this only means that we have walking corpses and walking dead in the name of human beings because they are basically consuming products used to preserve dead bodies.
Life is what you make of it, it’s the choices you make that spices it up, in as much as you would wish to have fun,  do it in the right way, its no use killing yourself in the name of having fun…
Think about it your life matters more your future and your dreams matter more of course you need a healthy life to accomplish all this….

Ever been at the wrong place at the wrong time?

I don’t know how to bring out what I am about to write about, but read through with me. David, a man after God’s own heart, that’s what we read about him in Acts 13:22, many people never think that David really deserved that description, well for whatever reasons that they have. Psalms 51 is one of those chapters that convince me that David really did deserve that title, but that’s not the point. There is something about being at the wrong place at the wrong time,that awakens me this day even as I share. 2 nd Samuel 11:1 And it came to pass after the year was expired at the time when kings go forth to battle that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah.  But David Tarried still at Jerusalem   It was because David was in the wrong place at the wrong time that he ended up seeing Bathsheba naked, the he lusted for her that he sent for her, that he committed adultery with B...

The Mother-Daughter Affair

The Mother-Daughter relationship is one of the most dramatic affairs that I have experienced and witnessed in my entire life. A few days ago I was in the office and my amazing, loving mother called me early in the morning to ask me how I was doing and how my new job was coming along. We had a very relaxed conversation as we always do, just laughing and laughing. She was very interested in wanting to know what tasks I had on my desk that day, so I explained it to her. This whole time my colleagues were seated with me in the office. When the conversation with my mother ended, one of my colleagues who is a mother of a 21-year-old asked me, “Woi jameni will I ever be able to have such a relaxed conversation with my daughter? Sisi ni kama hatusikilizani” (Will I ever have such a relaxed conversation with my daughter, we don’t exactly get along). Then I smiled and told her, "Trust me it will happen!" I spoke to her from my own experience and it reminded me of my own walk with m...
