Happy Father's Day To You

Hello all,

Happy Father's day to you all. It feels good to be a father and certainly to be recognized as part of the larger community. Fatherhood comes with great responsibilities as we all aspire to be great fathers. However, there are some who really still dont understand the greatness of fatherhood, and are still stuck in the childish and  or boyish mind-set. If you are that kind of father, please get up and see the world in the bigger and brighter picture because it may be not too late for you to repair the relationship with your child/children and the mother of your kid(s). It never get too late for that-matter, because every one has only one father and mother and that is what matters, especially to a child growing and or teenager who is seeking/claiming his/her identity in the world stage. Make peace with your people today and get one from them today as well. God bless you and you are truly very important figure in your kid(s) life. Understand that, it means a lot to the people you love and to you if you really care. Do some soul searching today and cherish fatherhood life with its greatness. Bring joy to your love one and charge now, because that is all matters,. God Bless You and your love one.

Teach, Liberate, Equip, and Empower Your Children Because They Are Foundation Of Generations To Come.

I know and you all know that there is some of us see things plainly, twisted, straight and zigzag. Have you ever walk in the street and see a mother or father walking with a child screaming, cursing and angry at the child because a child cannot walk faster or she/he is walking and playing at the same time? My point is, in this regard who is acting childish? The parent or the child? Because children are physiologically pruned to play and stay active unless there is something wrong with a child, is sick and or is developmentally disabled. So if parents don’t know that children normally don’t focus unanimously with activities ahead them without been reminded, guided, empowered and or incentivized to do so and with required environments, then the parent is lacking very important quality of been an effect parent. Therefore, the above example of type of parent, of which many of us seen them on the street often, is the result of the proverb that “an apple don’t fall far away from the tree”. Such parent learn from someone who is very close, nurtured him/her, possessed him with the family values and shaped him/her values of life as a whole; usually is parent(s), guardian and or family members. In this regard, unknowable, the parent is passing the same values to his/her children; and it becomes a vicious cycle of life, before you know it is the value of the community and or society.

Teen Pregnancy. Is It A Red Flag?

As father, I have this growing fear from the alarming increasingly numbers of teen pregnancy in the American Communities. What I don’t understand is what is the outcome of all this in the years to come? How will this shape our future society, generations and most of all the American Standing in the world Stage? Are we going to enjoy the benefits of America as the leading society that every one in the world is attracted to and aspired to be part of? Or dooms day are ahead of us is just we dont see? Are we going to lead on researches, economic powers, military mighty, democratic supporters, and most of all liberators to the oppressed? Or we are going to be seen as bunch of clowns whose society is rooted from teen-pregnancy society, single moms’ generation and welfare dependency community? Because don’t get me wrong, society as a whole is going to pay the price of these outstanding numbers of teen pregnancy because they are rooting for single moms/parents and most of all for welfare dependency that will completely crush the so called middle class in America, if any is left from the recent recessions, wall street and housing bubbles hanging around these days. As a proud member of this society, i see light on the tunnel but uncertainty is still roaming around.

Thanks God Osama Bin Laden has depart the world

Bravo President Obama, Osama is dead and no one can deny that. I remember just like yesterday, the fear, terror and sorrow he brought in my home Country Tanzania, when he organized the US Bombing in Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya; then SS Cole and September 11th. He hated freedom and democracy of other people/nations to choose their ways of life and governing in promoting peace, freedom,  liberty and equal justice for all. He was enemy of the making and he deserve not to live in this world. The world will remember you, President Obama and President Bush for comprehensive plans to intensify pressure against terrorism. President Bush's policy of terrorism and African policy that you put in place, at large has produced tremendous gain and fostering quality of life without fear of dictators and blood suckers. President Obama, fostering and capitalizing of Bush's policy toward Africa has produce a positive gain on the war against terrorism, corruption, poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa. The recent intervention in Libya has once gain proven the world that America does care the welfare of Africa, and self imposed dictators like Muamar Qaddafi,
Laurent Gbagbo, Museven, Mugabe e.t.c can be cornered and Finlay face justice for the atrocities they committed against mankind. the ivory Cost intervention has been successful and lives were saved.

Today, Osama Bin Laden Has Been Killed by Navy-Seal-Six, Bravo America!!!!!!!!

1998 US embassy In Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania After Terror Attacks, 11 people (Americans and Tanzanias) Died. That Day God Bless Their Innocent Souls and Many Thereafter.

It is about time, the terrorist, Osama Bin Laden-Al Quida and its network, pays the price. He affected so many innocent lives, but in the end he made all peace lovers stronger and united against terror. Thanks to America and its leadership all over the world, for taking down the architecture of SS Cole, US Embassies in TANZANIA and KENYA, and the 911 terror attacks, and give closure to the innocent civilians and their families. This is true leadership of America and its allies who are for peace, lovers and equal justice for all. In God we trust, may those who lost their lives from the acts of the evil, Osama Bin Laden, Rest In Eternal Peace. Justice has been saved, peace and freedom lovers have been vindicated; whereas PEACE, FREEDOM, DEMOCRACY and JUSTICE prevail and proved to be vested in in people as God given rights.

Obama anauncing killing of Osama Bin Laden, Bravo!!!!! 

Happy Easter all

Easter is very crucial and important day for us Christian and all people of the world because it is the day we commemorate the Resurrection of Christ the savior who died on the cross salivating our life all regardless of who we are. He died on the cross for many and certainly for you and me and that is the Honorable Courageous  distinction among us as human being.

Lifestyle in the upbringing matters:

I always wander, why we human behave and act the way we do, and in so many different ways? This question put the family in the scrutiny radar and number one drive of shaping one’s life. In this perspective, the kind of family one experience in the upbringing does play the biggest role of all in what kind of person he or she will be. That says it all, that family style can create a monster or the very successful human being. Family styles pours the kinds of spirits that dives our lives every second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, decade and century. These values are gradually on-set from child hood to maturity during young adult and adulthood. The values we receive from our families from birth to adulthood are the fuel that drives our ambitions that finally determine who we are as person and mainly as active members of community and society at large. This is to say that we are to be very carefully for what kind of family style we want our children to grow about and we ought to remember that this process is gradual and managed.

“Come to me like a child”

Life is so weird and unpredictable, though human tend to assume predictions, we always fail. This is due to the fact that God, supernatural mysterious Creator, is the master planner of all the plans under the sun. Look at everything the so called leaders and knows it all touch they messy it up, because they want to be God-Like and treated like God, somehow they know it all, but they are just like any other human being, capable of bad and good and most of all selfish. Remember he , the creator, can see us, know what we are thinking, but cannot stop us deciding what we choose to do because he gave our fore-fathers a promise of free-will that we all inherited through the common sin. If you are Christian or Bible scholar you remember the story of Adam and Eve and what lead them to get kicked out of the Garden of Eden by God; free-will and Eva was lured by snake/devil and convinced Adam to follow her lead-committing the sin.

Now, devil do exist, we all agree to that. But I bet you we differ to which way devil come into our lives and to how we pretend to know how devil come into our way, between a man and God. It is very simple even a child knows it, but when we grow and as we tend to use our rationally the more we mess-it up and attract devil and or not be able to use our child-hood skills in love and trust in God, tools that are important to detect and predict evil traps. Remember, Jesus said that God is pleased by children and we are all to go to God as children? That’s is the trick right there, stop using your rational mind and humble yourself to God with humility; that’s all. When you use your rational mind, and you haven’t humble yourself like a child, believe and accept God teaching, then you have no protection from devil, and devil will lure you in so many ways; and no mankind can detect these devils traps. It is so simple, if you lay-down your life to God and trust him like the way the child trust his or her parents devil traps are no brainier. Have you seen the way a child distrust stranger? Or sense things? Likewise, we can do these things, but we tend to interfere this natural process by inducing common sense and common sense without faith and trust in God is not always common sense. How many of you planned things and more than half a time don’t happen as you planned? And many of you are professionals and experts, then why your professional and expertise don’t produce good results at the first place? Because you were lied to believe that you are an expert, and forgot that that there is a master expert and plan it all, God. They say practice makes it perfect, then why certain, many, things no matter how mankind practices, still can not do these things?   It is because we human are created weak, and we lack the spirit and guidance of God/trinity. 

I have simple things that are so difficult for mankind, rational person, to untangle; these are biblical. For example, if one don’t love your children, siblings and or your parents because of deep-seated hatred or evil rooted reasons, certainly such person(s) do not love you a bit. Because for sure no one who loves you from the bottom of his/her heart can dislike the very people who are product of you, procreates you and share very close blood line with you. If you see such a person in your life, stop using rational mind, seek guidance from God because your rational mind can be polarize by pretense of devil, and only God can rescue you from evil traps. Your children, parents and siblings have a very unique and God given bond that is beyond mankind imagination. It is biblical, that your parents are to be respected and love, so if one don’t do that, surely she or he is not your friend and don’t seek goodness to you, your parents, siblings and surely your children. It is simple like that. The world says that a friend of enemy is an enemy and an enemy of enemy is a friend, and vise versa.

Devil come to us but cannot get into us without us accepting him. One accepting devil varies because devil use our weakness to trap us. For example, devil used a snake to lure on Eve and because Adam was strong against devil and weak on Eve he fell through the very simple devil trap. Devil penetrates human mind, rational and life upon our own, human, acceptance of such penetration.  Now the controversial thing here is how to detect the acts of devil manipulation in our life? Many, human, can fall on the very devil trap while trying to untangle such trap, and normally is by using rational that is illustrated in the expert and professionalism. While it is so simple, but to trust in God and follow his commandments just like an obedient child to father is proven more difficult in the mankind. A simple thing like that don’t need expert or professional to untangle, only follow God and obey him as he ordered us to. So submit to him and seek for his guidance because mankind is misleading and has been proven to be used by devil’s traps. Don’t trust men; rather seek God guidance because he is an ultimatum. Thank you all and be blessed.


Finally, God loved us and sent his only begotten son-Jesus-Emmanuel. Guess what?  We killed him by crucified him on the cross through the road/way to Calvary. But before he was publicly condemned to death, through our denial and quick fix decisions, he said that he was the "truth". The "TRUTH" he said then and today is still cumbersome thing for a human to untangle; and that is what makes some to do evil onto others in many ways because make no mistakes evil-do-exist.

It is not too late to start fatherhood life

It's time we all pitch in raising the children for the betterment of the future generation, our community and society at large. Too many dead-bit dads and drive-by dads in the streets while single moms raising their children without men. Now what kind of men will this turmoil produce? Men act and do things like boys or men who sit aside and let women run the show? Because welfare is taking the role of the absent fathers financially; video-games is replacing the moral and emotional charge; while TVs are taking the role model and role models. My grandma use to say, "If your parents won’t teach you, the world will teach you for sue", and that is exactly what is happening today. Fellas, it is not too late, but as father, be there, play with them, talk to them, assure them that everything will be alright, and be the one they can run to because they have to run to someone and somewhere.  It better be you than the devils hanging in the streets that can consume your child/children and may be come and eat you alive. It is time to cut it loose and not be subject to the statistics, let us open a new chapter.  

Our Individuality, integrity and execeptionalism as peoples

Please read this article and feel it with me. How sad man-kind can get? This magnitude of idiocy is sad and beyond recognition of may. What is problem with us Africans? Our life is miserable enough, adding this kind of mentality is like putting a gasoline on the burning read thing: http://www.ippmedia.com/frontend/index.php?l=27584

Hero Of Fatherhood Life And Mentoring Young Boys & Men, Steve Harvey

 

Steve Harvey Introducing The Lord Jesus is a way never before:

The man that many boys and young men calls him an inspirational father-figure because of his grass root works to the communities that so many boys and young men are raised by single moms. I always say that it takes a man to raise a man and a woman to raise a woman; it means that wearing pants and have deep voice alone and itself doesn't make one a man. A man has to adhere to manly duties, hardworking, decisefull-ness, respect to others, leader/head of the family, be a truly father figure, go to work without complain, be a good citizen, and a believer in the most high powers. It saddens me to hear current student and work force figure of men is way outnumbered by females. What is happening here? Are today's men no more bread-winner and leaders? Because women are now leading, supporting the family and attending college while men sit behind. I guess men got trapped plying video games and milking the situation. That's sad.

When is Africa and African gonna get up from the dark-life!!!!!!!!

Africa, The Mother-Land All Humanity

I do always wander when is Africa and African going to get up from the dark-life? When are we going stop electing leaders who don't fit and represent our values and aspirations? When are we going to fear no dark powers because they are all illusion and cant harm human who do not believe and practice them, except for believer only? When does the so called educated in Africa going to get educated and act like educated fellows? When  is Africa going to get true leaders who can lead the continent's countries from the dark side to the light side? When is Africa going to improve its life conditions that meets basic human needs by use proven scientific measures and not use its old phased out dark magical powers? When is Africa going to truly believe that God does exist and will always exist and not their stupid magical, witchcraft, traditions and darkness beliefs and traditions that literally ruins life of so many? When that day will come and see my African brothers and sisters rise up and denounce the darken and wicked traditions and beliefs?

Today’s Sunday Service:

In the Sunday service today the pastor remarketed the old says that are very important in our life. These remarkable say are the path to integrate us with God and build such relationship stronger until our journey here on the earth is over.  These say are such as “you can choose your friends or associates but you can never choose your relative or neighbors”. Other say were like, “honesty to one self is honest to God”; and “we are created resembling face and example of God”. If it is so, then we ought not to hate one another because that does not please God because we can not hate our neighbors and pretend we love and pray him for mercy. These are very powerful and touchy words. I therefore see the need to share them with you because they can make a difference in among us if we let the work of Holly Spirit lead us on this worldly journey. God bless you and your love one.

The Magic of Children Growth

The magic of children growth is one big aspects of connection and bonding of parents, both mother and father, to the child’s life long. It is amazing the way a child grows. It is like miracle. Their body learns to maneuver things and their mind adjusts day by day. That is the beauty of fatherhood or fatherhood. I can see very tangible changes of my children day by day. It is there. I remember seen my son trying to maneuver his hands for the first time/day he was able to reach a bottle of milk from my hand and able to hold it by himself. It was like miracles. He was like 3moths if I’m not mistake. I could see the trials he made to reach and maneuver the bottler.  The best part is when he tries to form words and short sentences. It was cute because I use to correct my daughter only once and next thing she is saying the word correctly. Children, from birth to teenage, their brains are like magnet.

R.I.P. Novati L. Shangarai Masao

Today, at this time, I would like to join my family/relatives, friends and neighbors mourning the sudden passing of my beloved cousin and brother in Jesus, Novati L. Shangarai Masao. Your passing has shocked all of us and has made us grow in the understanding of fate, faith and destiny; they are very cumbersome for human mind to untangle unless by faith, but we will have to face them as we are all on the same direction. The message that "Life is a giant high way on which we are travelers passing through the earth" is so vivid as of this moment.

My self, as caring father, I cannot even imagine what is going through my Uncle Ludovic Shangarai Masao right now. Let alone, as a parent, I cannot predict how this sudden passing of a young man Novati, is taking toll on my Aunt Agnes L Shangarai Masao (Mbuya) as mother of the deceased. Only the parent, the mother or father, of the deceased can tell. But, of course we all pitch in to assist and comfort the immediate family while going through these tough times. In this regard, I would like to extend a gentle hand and comfort to the family with passion, and my condolences, whatever that is needed and the most of all in my thoughts and prayers to make his passing a life-long legacy.

Novati, is the cousin that i spent almost my childhood life playing and growing with. He was only four years younger than me. We grew and played together. We had a specific code among few relatives that we grew up in the same age group; "Masao Tondo" or "Masao T." Only us knows what that means and what does it represent. As we lost one of our own in the name of the "Masao T." code phrase, I would like to represent the "Masao T."'s code group to say goodbye and farewell to our beloved brother, one of our own and the true "Masao T." We will truly miss you my brother. We cherish every childhood memory that we encountered. We will miss your love, smiles and kindness. You showed us that we don't have to confront the adversaries, rather persuade them; you lived your life acquiring knowledge on how to make the world a better place to live; and you in deed lived a very peaceful life. This is your legacy my brother. I never stop loving you, for you were an intellectual and caring person. When we got mad you made us smile with you, at the end we ended up smiling and forget what made us mad. This is what you wanted us to remember all along, and I promise you that we shalt keep your memory alive.

Lastly, for us left behind we ought to remember that life is too short, and we ought to enjoy and cherish every moment because destiny and fate are just around the corner. I believe that the most High has place Novati's soul in the better place and that is eternal peace. Novati Ludovic Shangarai Masao, we will be missing you bro. As true "Masao T."'s we will definitely keep the solidarity and love that you have shown to the "Masao T." family. My condolence to Mama Novati, Baba Novati, John a.k.a. Dogoo!! and Humphrey. Although, we are far apart, we are closer in thoughts. We deeply share the great loss of our beloved brother and Cousin Novati Ludovic Shangarai Masao. May Almighty God Rest his soul in  the eternal peace. R.I.P. NOVATI.

I Love New York

 

I Love New York

 

Lady Liberty Statue, New York  

Oh yeah, NY is the place to be. I know many of you will be saying, What? But trust me NY is the place to be. Dont get it twisted, winter up here is bad but not as bad as some other places in the country. I also love Florida, the west,  the mid-west and down south but not as much as I Love NY, at least for the time being though. I better embrace the place I call home because it gives me all the life line support that i need to survive with my family. I have no complains rather love. I know that weather here in NY was not made for me, and that is indeed the down side of NY, also some other small stuffs that one can get over them if give a chance to look at theme in the bigger picture.
