The cost of fuel is up yet again, and as a result, the cost of living goes up again.
A litre of petrol cost me 94 bob on the first day of 2011. From tomorrow, the equivalent quantity will cost 124.13 bob representing a 24 % increase in less than a year, and now at its highest levels ever. The ripple effect will be an increase in cost of basic commodities: food stuffs, given the economy’s reliance on fossil fuel.

Just came across this clip.


One of my favourite hymns:

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.

In less than year since its inception, Ruai Girls High School has moved from rather humble beginnings to mortar and stone structures. A sense of order pervades the entire compound of the school that is situated on Kangundo Road, a few minutes from the intersection with the Eastern bypass.

Most of the students are from poor backgrounds and many cannot afford school fees. A sizeable number were raised by a single parent or grandparent. Initially, the school was started as a mixed school, but the school board opted to change it to a girls school and are now in this process.

The impact of the Constituency Development Fund can be clearly seen as, without this, it would have been very difficult for the school buildings to grow beyond the basic structures.

If you or your organization would like to partner with Ruai Girls High School, pay them a visit, or give me a shout.


Love Divine

08Nov10

When I survey the wondrous cross

On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

And pour contempt on all my pride.

 

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the death of Christ my God!

All the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to His blood.

 

See from His head, His hands, His feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down!

Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,

Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

 

His dying crimson, like a robe,

Spreads o’er His body on the tree;

Then I am dead to all the globe,

And all the globe is dead to me.

 

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were a present far too small;

Love so amazing, so divine,

Demands my soul, my life, my all.

 

Isaac Watts (1674-1748)
