THE ESTRANGED ICEBERGS

Image
 "By nature, we are alienated from God and His family, but we can be reconciled to Him through Christ." R. C. Sproul Floating icebergs- that is what we all are. The visible human is all fancy and dapper externally, but hidden behind all kinds of makeup or branded attire is the real raw person inside- someone who might be shredded, stressed, or selfish. Psychology attributes the Iceberg behavior model to children, but I would say we have to be more careful around adults than kids, since we have much more to hide beneath the facade. Today's humans are the most complicated and hopeless our race has ever come to be- doing 'noble' things all in the name of equity and inclusivity- and yet ripping apart the very tapestry of our existence- even not sparing children from the wildness of our modern-day mankind, trying to introduce their syllabus into the school systems and even the media they watch. We think we are intelligent, unbeatable, and irresistible- yet even after d...

The Wait

Image
We do not like to wait in line for our coffee We do not like to wait for the sites or videos to load We do not like to wait for our packages to arrive We do not like waiting for our turn to check in or check out.  I have never seen anyone who loves waiting- Maybe some folks do not mind the extra time At hand to read a book or watch a movie Before they get to do what they came for. The past week taught me once again That waiting is not bad at all; Yet the chance to reflect upon God's time- The most wonderful and apt clock of all.  It is just proof that God is working Even in the buffering time, Proof that waiting teaches us patience-  Patience to accept what is on the other side.  The in-between is not the easiest episode, But part of the process that moulds us.  The unknown future, the uncertain tomorrow Unfolds the beauty of those moments for sure.  Wait in the moments of joys and trials,  Wait for His answers and solutions,  Wait for His time an...

The Fidgetty Generation

Image
  "Generation Alpha has very different expectations for the entire world. Everything that's going to happen in their lives needs to be visual, on demand, adaptive , and we have to find a way to embed that into our experiences." — Margo Georgiadis  Gen Alpha- the ones born from 2010 till date- including my own kid- shows traits never seen before in teens of yonder years. Their eyes have been glued to screens from the time they were born. It may have initially started as a way to get them sit tight and finish their meals, but eventually it became a habit- and this habit has become part of their behavior without them being aware of it. Even we adults have become so accustomed to our gadgets, it takes up so many of our hours of the day, that we could have been reading, spending quality family time or even pick up on a hobby or talent. Screens- it has overcome our time and our next generation- and if we do not do something about it- we will just allow the screens to turn our w...

The Golden Buzzer

Image
  There are no crown-wearers in heaven who were not cross-bearers here below. Charles Spurgeon The anxiety. The stage. The nerves. The audience. The ambience. The performance. The whistles. The claps. The howls. The standing ovation. It all becomes a blur once a judge presses that Golden Buzzer- the ultimate acknowledgement in platforms like America's Got Talent or Britain's Got Talent. Those who have seen video clips or actual reality shows like these know exactly why the Golden Buzzer matters- it is not only a life-changing moment, but also your ticket to fame and maybe even prosperity. After maybe months or years of planning, preparing and practicing, participants come to such stages with high hopes of being recognized. When their talents and back stories create a vibe, the spectactors, including those watching at home through the TV or social media, get worked up with excitement for the performer. Tears roll down, smiles turn into laughter, and our hearts pump a bit faster ...
