They said to her, 'But no one in your family has that name,' and made signs to his father to find out.
The father asked for a writing-tablet and wrote, 'His name is John.' And they were all astonished.
π Gospel, Luke 3: 7-9
Brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the coming retribution?
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance, & do not start telling yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father,' because, I tell you, God can raise children for Abraham from these stones.
π Gospel, Luke 3: 10-11
When all the people asked him, 'What must we do, then?'
he answered, 'Anyone who has 2 tunics must share with the one who has none, and anyone with something to eat must do the same.'
π Gospel, Luke 3: 12-14
There were tax collectors, too, who came for baptism. 'Master, what must we do?'
He said to them, 'Exact no more than the appointed rate.'
Some soldiers asked. He said, 'No intimidation! No extortion! Be content with your pay!'
As it is #Christmas today, will keep content light, jolly.....
All those hitting at my Archbishop, the pseudo intellectuals like OO @OfwonoOpondo , I will spare you today, but dare repeat the accusations 'outside today' ...then you will 'know' π ππ
@OfwonoOpondo#Google, like the governments from the West in the case of @nickopiyo , want to dictate how we live our lives, what choices we make, what we can & cannot do....until they met South African former Deacon, freedom fighter & poet Mzwakhe Mbuli ! π ππ
ALEX MUKULU: There should be no qualifications to become a Member of Parliament. MPs should be volunteers...people who have already succeeded in life and wish to assist others.
ALEX MUKULU: Each tribe recognized in the Uganda constitution should be represented by only 2 Members of Parliament. The parliament should be composed of not more than 108 people since Uganda has about 54 tribes.
On the surface, many will read, say a lot from the joint statement, but I trust Archbishop CK Lwanga's intentions. He's not loud, but consistent in passing on a message. Govt has often been critical of him.
For you, I will repeat what he said the last time he met the President.
Arch. CKL often gives a message without anyone even realizing he has said what he has said. He rarely speaks 'directly', and if he does, there will be a reason he has changed tactics.
The following thread was when he last met the president, and few realized what he had 'done'
ARCH LWANGA: We're here as members of IRCU @irc_uganda to offer end of year thanksgiving prayers, & also to pray for peace, protection & promotion of the needed fundamental & other human rights as stipulated in Chapter 4 of our national constitution.
