THE STONE THE BUILDERS REJECTED HAS BECOME THE CAPSTONE
Repetition is the teacher's most powerful tool, so evidently these Christian writers and the Spirit who inspired them are trying to get us to listen up.
How does the rejected stone become the capstone?
How does the presence of the outsider improve life for us all?

How the Africa-China romance is killing Europe
The latter partly as a result of China’s investments. Many have wondered whether China’s interest in Africa would trigger a new wave of colonialism and exploitation of mineral resources, needed to keep Chinese factories going.
As it now turns out, what the West, and Europe in particular, have been afraid of all the time is how much the “Old World” would lose because of the new relations between China and the African continent.
A documentary on Dutch public television by broadcaster VPRO, that premiered recently, painfully shows the consequences for Europe now that it virtually has closed its borders,while China is welcoming African migrants with open arms.
The 45-minute documentary entitled “Black money: The future comes from Africa” (one could question the title) examines two things.
THE KENYAN ELECTORATE MBWA MENTALITY
∞-------∞
If someone calls me a Dog i'll consider it the worst insult and may lead to everlasting enemity but wait a moment.
What are the similarities between a Kenyan and a dog?
When I was a boy I owned a dog called Marugu.I say owned because I bought it at a few coins when it was a puppy, fed it on leftovers from my mom’s pot till it grew to a strong male dog. In exchange o the leftovers Marugu gave me fanatical loyalty.
Marugu was my entertainment tool, my source of food and my security. I used to go hunting, my Marugu was fast and angile.Together with other dogs they would chase and kill Antelopes. For some reason which am still to be told to date, They wouldn't eat their kill.
When we shared we would eat the fleshy chunks and feed Marugu and other dogs on intestines, head, hooves and testacles. After hunting we used to hold Dog fighting contest. We would set Marugu against other dogs that are otherwise his friends and workmate during the tedious hunting job, and they tear each other apart as we would cheer and laugh.
Not one day did these dogs realize that they are the ones who hunted and so they have the right to decide who eats what, no,they were too royal to question. Deep within them they knew that if they decided to tear me apart I was nothing to them yet for some reason even when I decided to be cruel to Marugu and other dogs it used to coil its tail between the legs and submit, why am yet to know. Maybe some dark forces as someone said. Marugu and other dogs never stopped one day to ask themselves why they were fighting upon our instructions. They were friends playing nice games, and workmates while hunting, but when we decided we want to watch a dog fight all it took was a single command and friends turn against each other. And the battle used to be Ugly.
When I look at poor Kenyans, They remind me of my Marugu. Kenyans are the ones Who pay taxes. Leaders pay themselves from 800k with their taxes while the services and salaries given to taxpayer are the hooves and testacies I fed the dogs after hunting. Remember the leaders don’t pay taxes and the only work they do is sleep in parliament. So they are eaters we are workers. And like my Marugu ordinary Kenyans never complain. And just like my Marugu hugged me lovingly after mistreating it and wags its tail at me, we too sing for and clap at our leaders after adding themselves salaries from our money. And just like I would be nothing if Marugu decided to tear me apart, so is the poor Kenyans If they decide that the leaders will spend the night out ofpowers today it will happen. But just like dogs to us something holds them back and during these elections they are still singing for the same vultures who have reaped them off all the dignity back to power. I concur with the ones who say there are some dark forces.
How do you elect someone who is worthy 40 billion half of which he cannot account for when you cannot afford two meals a day. How can you elect a person who owns land the size of a District when you in Kibera cannot spit outside or else it lands on neighbors’ pot. How can you fight your neighbor because a leader said so. If you will elect UHURU,RAILA. I need someone to explain to me the difference between you and Marugu. I know what you are going to do, you will insult me for reminding you that you don’t think. Just like Marugu used to attack any other dog that barked at me despite me stealing its fair share.
If you are not a MBWA in the head stand upright like the homo erectus you are and defend your dignity.
