I may not be able to
understand what really is troubling you because I am human. I may, from time to
time judge you despite my imperfections because I am human. I may not be able
to be there for you when you need me because I am human. Good news is, I know
man who shall never judge you, who will be there whenever you call, who will love

peace and happiness. He is a man who died so we could have life, hurt so that
we could be comforted and underwent ridicule so that we could be honoured. He
can tell what is troubling you, he can never judge you for the wrong you committed
and turns your imperfection into perfection. When you feel unworthy in front of
everyone, to another, you are the best son he ever had. You don’t have to walk
around downcast and forsaken. Look up to Calvary and see the man up on the
cross unhappy so that you can be happy. Think of what that man would expect you
to do and walk free

It wasn’t really a big place, just a boring place with a shop they called ‘chamchi-tugul’ meaning love y’all in Kalenjin, a poshomill, a small barber shop where we always cried when our parents sent us to pay him a visit and a small house always under lock and key where we always peeped with a hope of discovering loads of money locked in, little did we know that it was the barber’s store room. The rainy season though never stopped us from playing our football games, shirtless of course. We played without our shirts, not because it was fun that way but just because some of us had only the one. We were two goals ahead, all credit to me for stopping the ball with my face twice though I almost went blind in one a...
