June for Grace
Blessed be the name of the Lord.
This June has been a great month. So many life-defining events and every day a present from the Lord.
His grace is majestic and his love without end.
This month started with the planning for the celebration of my wife’s landmark birthday. I knew I would not be around so I had to plan some surprises before my departure to so that on the day, the plan will come to life.
The plan came to life; my wife was excited, happy and very grateful for the thought and actions. A week later with family and friends, we celebrated her birthday some more, and it was a beautiful and simple event. We took a lot of pictures, and it was just fun especially for me as I had to the opportunity to host friends and family and that my wife was the center of attraction. It was wonderful. I will share the details of the photography adventure in another post.
I had some training, interacted with long lost friends, made new friends and discovered two new podcasts Daily Briefing and Just Thinking.
Of course, Apple introduced macOS Mojave and iOS12 to the world, and they are great OSs. I have set up a “memoji” for myself, and I am enjoying it.
I learned about the book the Blue Parakeet, and so far it has been interesting reading.
It is also the end of the 1st part of the year 2018. Looking forward to the 2nd part of the year and hopeful and praying for God’s grace and mercy.
Another Year by His Grace

I marked my birthday earlier this week and it was another opportunity to thank God for his grace and mercy and compassion.
It was another opportunity to thank him for my wife and children and how he has granted to us all the knowledge of his grace and person.
When I speak to people who are marking their birthdays, one of the questions I ask them is if they feel older on the day and they usually reply that they don’t feel any different than in the previous days or even months. I agree with them, I do not feel older if the feelings were the indicator of age but I KNOW that I am older and I see it all around me especially when I consider the things have happened in the last 20+ years, I do not need the feeling to acknowledge God’s love.
I have learned a lot in the last year, I am loving my books again and trying to establish a system to clear the backlog of books but it has been wonderful.
I have not published an app to the app store yet or written the book that I know I want to write but I won’t spend time thinking of the things I have not done because I have done so much more maximizing each passing moment in relationships and opportunities.
I bless the name of the Lord for his loving kindness for if he has been my rock and sustenance it would have been impossible to speak of any success.
I look forward to the steadfast love of God in the new year as I know he is in charge of all things and nothing happens without his say so.
