These notes were originally posted on my Facebook page last year. I wish to transfer them to this new blog page for history.
"We are about to end another month in 2011 moving from the 5th month to the 6th month. It reminds me of the 6th day of creation.I cannot help thinking about the future of Liberia and Africa in the scheme of God's plans for humankind.Africa is blessed with an abundance of resources yet we exist in a D.I.P. (Disease-Ignorance-Poverty) State compared to other continents...why? Is it our lack of creativity, love for each other or leadership character?
What will it take for us to learn our lessons and be responsibility for our own destiny as one people centered on the Parenthood of God? Globally the 20sth century has taught all of us as human beings the futility of arm struggle for liberation without inner maturity of character and values. Clearly the path of selfish individualism practiced historically prior to the 21st century has gotten us nowhere. Violence has only be-gotten more violence. This new century demands a great shift in our thinking and acting if we are to see a peaceful world by 3013. Those of us born in the 40's & 50's need to see this as an opportunity to make a difference."
My contribution towards this difference is to start this blog. I hope to leave behind for the future leaders of Africa an awareness of how the new age came about. Love you all
