Keeping up with tradition

Those who have been in the club since evening drinking and tweaking in club and they will wait till almost to twelve b4 they show up

I see no difference between today and tomorrow or even yesterday because the same day that break today would still be the same tomorrow Insha'Allah....


morning won't turn to night and night won't turn to morning, everyday we are opportune to witness is worth giving thanks to Allah for.....


its gona be a deploring mojo if tomorrow is being wholly worshipped and other days ignored without thorough worship as it is today nw, human being actually separated the day from the week and weeks also separated from the year and named it calendar.....


hmmmm, Western world really taking over, but they call it crossover as if they haven't been crossing over to the next day when they sleep.... ....

May Allah guide us through the trials of life...

Character Counts


"So get rid of your feelings of hatred. Don't just pretend to be good! Be done with dishonesty and jealousy and talking about others behind their backs. Now that you realize how kind the Lord has been to you, put away all evil, deception, envy, and fraud. Long to grow up into the fullness of our salvation."1

According to the organization, Character Counts, "The Six Pillars of Character are: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship," to which we could add a seventh, personal honesty.

Trustworthiness: Some time back we heard on the news how one teacher failed a student whom she caught cheating on her final exam. The cheater's parents were so outraged that she, the teacher, was forced to resign! Teaching at Harvard Business School years ago, Chuck Colson noted that the students didn't have a clue about ethics. Hence today we are reaping the results of failed businesses. Sadly, cheating for far too many students and people has become an accepted norm by too many today.

But the fact remains, when we break trust, we reap what we sow—even if it is eventually.

Respect: Another thing I was taught when growing up was to respect my elders, open doors for ladies, give my seat on a bus to ladies and the elderly, say thank you when kindnesses are shown to me, etc., etc. Guess I'm still pretty much old-fashioned because I still do these things.

I also believe strongly in respecting and appreciating the men and women in our police force, the armed forces, and all who invest their lives in helping to protect us and the freedoms we enjoy—the price of which has been paid for by others.

And how I wish people would learn from an early age to respect other people's property, the blessings and benefits of our advanced society, and our beautiful countryside!

Responsibility: A very popular pastime these days is the blame-game! Here's a classic example from New York: "A five-foot-10-inch 272-pound man sued four fast-food chains, claiming their fare contributed to his obesity, heart disease and diabetes.

"The class-action lawsuit, which was filed in the Bronx Supreme Court, was seeking undetermined compensatory damages against McDonald's, Wendy's, KFC, and Burger King on behalf of 56-year-old Caesar Barber and others."2

So would I purposely put my hand on a stove hotplate, burn my hand, and then sue the manufacturer of the stove!? I also recall hearing on the news a man being interviewed about smoking. He claimed he should be able to smoke where he wanted to because it was the tobacco company's fault that he was addicted to cigarettes!

Amazing, isn't it! And, can you imagine any lawyer in his right mind and of any character taking on such cases!

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."1

In discussing seven pillars of character (the first six of which are from Michael Josephson of the organization, Character Counts), we talked about, trustworthiness, respect and responsibility. Today we address the following characteristics: fairness, caring, citizenship, and personal honesty (integrity).

Fairness: It is true that in many ways life isn't fair, for as the Bible says, "It rains on the just as well as the unjust."2 This is one reason why bad things happen to good people and good things happen to bad people. We just happen to live in a broken world, which affects us all. However, we can offset much of the unfairness of life, if we all seek to treat all people at all times with fairness.

Caring: The highest law always ought to be as God's Word teaches: to love one another.3 If we truly love God, we will love and care for one another. And as Jesus said, if we love God and others, we will be fulfilling all of God's laws.4 In so doing, we can and will make our world a better place for ourselves, our children, and our children's children.

Citizenship: As the Australian Citizenship website states, "Citizenship is a serious commitment." Whether we are citizens of a country or citizens of heaven, while we have privileges and rights, we also have duties and responsibilities. Good citizenship requires both. Thus to have healthy communities, along with our rights and our privileges, it is our duty and responsibility to be model citizens and all work together to make our church, our club, our family, our society, and our nation a better world in which to live.

Personal Honesty (integrity): In my opinion, denial is perhaps one of the most practiced, subtle, and self-destructive "sins of the saints."

When we speak of denial, we are not talking about denial of self, which, with an honest motive, is another healthy characteristic. We're talking about denial of one's reality, the failure to admit one's character weaknesses, the denial of one's negative feelings, and blindness to one's motives.

We are reminded that it is the pure in heart who will see God5 and that God desires truth in the innermost being.6

Without access to one's own truth or inner reality, there is no growth, no healing of persons, no forgiveness, and no resolution of personal problems or relational conflicts.

So here they are—seven pillars of character: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, citizenship, and personal honesty.

And whether we believe and accept it or not, character does count ... for time and eternity!

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, please help me to be mindful of the fact that character does count. Help me not only to be trustworthy, respectful and responsible, but also exercise fairness, always be caring (loving), practice good citizenship, and always be honest and maintain integrity so that in all ways I will be like Christ and bring glory to Your name. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus's name, amen."
