My entry for the third edition of week 65 engagement which is based on social networks. My acknowledgement goes to the management and every participants for being active on this platform.
One of the greatest assets I know is the gift of friends in fact good friends. Since I have grown to this extent, is not every one that I regard as a friend. The big question is who are my friends?
My friend is someone who is sacrificial, patient, loving and caring that is ready to give all for me. My friend sticks closer than my brother. My friend is the reflection of my kind of personality. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
The league of my friends tells a lot about me. There is a saying that says show me your friends and I will tell you who you're. That simply means your network of friends is the reflection of who you are.
Recently we have a community of friends that we called like-minded. In this kind of group consists of different friends with different kinds of ideas, profession, skills, perception etc that congregate in order to proffer solutions to needs that confronts us. Since the emergence of this kind of network some of the life challenges has been tacked even though everything is not about money but having the right sense of understanding.
A network of like minded where you can freely share and discuss your challenges is a very important platform. It's not just about an individual but the it's about the general members of such group. Everyone is blessed with a gift or talent that can add value to someone else.
Will my network have my back when times are bad? Yes of course. I have been there and I still remain there reaping the benefits of true friendship.
I could remember vividly when i was preparing for my wedding hmmm that's when I knew that there is power in having league of friends.
My friends teamed up to a reasonable number, met and discussed how they can step in for the success of my wedding. I was thinking I was just dreaming not knowing it was reality in display. A month to the wedding, I started receiving some heavy alerts in my cellphone. I was shocked to my bones over such act of benevolence.
I thought is just all about contribution of resources for the success of the wedding but I realised something Wow the day of the main event of the wedding. Early in the morning as we were preparing to step out to church behold everywhere was littered with my friends in their uniforms which gladdened my heart and added a very good colour to the wedding.
LESSONS

Before you maintain any network of friends, kindly identify your life's goal. Your goal or purpose on earth determine the kind of friends you'll keep. Vision, purpose and mission is very important.
Don't be in a rush to pull friends just in the name of having network but allow time to define certain things.
Your kind of network of friends is the function of who you are. Therefore be very careful in choice and association.
Some friends are source of inspiration.
CONCLUSION
One of the outstanding thing in my life today is my best man during my wedding. I call him shock absorber and twin brother simply because he's a true definition of friend. He patiently bore all my weaknesses and projected it as strength hence today, I am better and always on the improving side.

This morning we welcomed Heads of State, Government and delegates at the 22nd Comesa summit, in Lusaka.
We accepted the chairmanship of COMESA, which we view as a vote of confidence in Zambia.

We thanked the outgoing Chair, His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi of Egypt, and commended him for the achievements of COMESA under his leadership. These are the building blocks that we will set COMESA members to implement the free trade area and trade among ourselves.

This Summit captures our collective desire to see the COMESA region thrive based on the resolve to adapt, evolve, and integrate our economies while considering global, multilateral and regional developments.

We implored member states to harness the collective resource endowments of our land mass of 12 million Square kilometers and a population in excess of 580 million people.

More people-to-people relations, no-stop borders between our countries and friendly tariffs are key ingredients to
springboard more intra- Africa trade which stands at a paltry 17%.

The stability, peace and security in our region is key. Which is why we agreed that dialogue and diplomacy are a prerequisite to settling disputes.

Let’s change the narrative by working closely among the member states, towards attaining economic integration for a thriving COMESA that builds wealth and prosperity for all our peoples.

We have really knowledgeable Community members on SoMee, who are from various intellectual background and professions. It amazes me how wonderful this Social platform is that allows us all to not only voice our opinions, ideas, day to day events, celebrations, food, thoughts, inspiring and encouraging content, but also displays our likes, knowledge, work ethics, skills and profession.

A few pictures of some pretty flowers where nature is sure beautiful and the variety of plants, trees, flowers that surround us or cross our path is simply amazing.

Life is a mystery. You can't fathom everything about an individual. Some starts very well and end up in chaos in the course of life's journey.
Some had a tough starting but ended up well. Whereas some neither started well nor ended well. Hmmmm what a mystery.
Thanks to the management of stars community to bring forth my heartfelt felicitation for my dear friend that clocks forty years today. I realised that whatever you do to others, same shall be unto you. I would to share some great moments I had with my friend since our path crossed.
I don't so much like talking about people anyhow but for this God's creature, I have been persuaded in my spirit to share. I won't want to flatter anyone but these are realities I have seen, touched and lived with. There are friends that smiles at an individual but deep within their heart is pool of evil intention and destruction. Notwithstanding, there are special specie out there though rare but yet possesses an angelic virtue that can't be overturned easily.
This chap is loving and caring. Very passionate about purpose and life's goal. The first time I saw him, greatness was radiant on him hmmm his dimple which normally comes out once he smiles is just amazing. His love for human capital development drove me massively to him. I never knew he was such a bunch of simplicity. Immediately he saw me, there was witness in his spirit for us to move together.
Time is the accurate revealer of everything. After a while, God orchestrated some things to knit us more closely. Hence I started relating with him freely, came to his house stayed and in fact turned to be my second home.
He pastor's a church with few members but never discouraged because he knew who called him.
I can't forget to share one of the outstanding thing I learnt from him. He taught me how to make local cake from soya beans. He patiently outline the processes for me and I did though the hot water splashed on my hands but immediately some local first aid was done. Wow so I can be order industrious? What a power of friendship.
Not just that, you also have a skill in drawings etc .
Today, I joined the host of heaven to celebrate your new phase of life. They said life begins at forty therefore today is a starting point for your life. There are more grounds to be conquered therefore never you settle for less because greater things awaits you.
May this birthday brings freshness, and all round blessings upon your life and family.
You're celebrated and honoured sir.

Greetings to all the members of the community and beyond am glad to be among you this time. I have heard so much about the community,now I decided to come add my voice here.

The topic for discussion this time is very interesting. Everyone in life do have one thing or the other they are looking forward to achieving, a man without vision will follow every shadow as shadow most times are deceptive. So *Achievement* is as a result of resilient pursuit of vision. In pursuing vision distractions may set in but the ability not to allow the distractions for too long will help one reach his destination on time.

To the question, *what I do when I achieve a thing*. Am not a kind of person that throws party at a slittest achievement. A times when I achieve a thing especially those that gave me much concern I get so happy and I do well to share with my friends and family for them to rejoice and with me also. Immediately when am down celebrating,I get to think of the next target to set for myself. Setting this targets helps me to make the best use of every opportunity and at the time am not counter as someone that wants the.

As the new week is starting I already have a set goal for myself, I will celebrate my achievement with my spouse by the end of this new week.

Hope I have done Justice to the topic so far, am glad you visited my blog. See you next time.

"God loves and celebrates life. So must we."

You make known to me the path of life… (Psalm 16:11)

For many in America today, the advent of June signals the beginning of what has been labeled “Pride Month” by the activist Left. Originally linked to what is called the “Stonewall Uprising,” Pride Month symbolizes glowing affirmation of LGBTQ identity.

All June long, corporations and cultural institutions practically trip over themselves to promote their involvement in Pride Month, putting many Christians (or people who simply hold to a traditional sexual ethic) in difficult spots. When we try to watch a show at the end of a workday, our entertainment platforms drive us to Pride Month content. When buying a tube of toothpaste at our local big-box store, Pride Month displays greet us. When we watch sports, teams wear rainbow patches to celebrate Pride Month. The celebration of LGBTQ identity feels ubiquitous, and belies the claim that our public square is “neutral” and closed to assertive worldviews.

𝐖𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐃𝐚𝐲𝐬
From many angles, the entire tone of June in America has shifted. It is one of aggressive approval of a heart attitude that the Word of God rebukes in no uncertain terms: pride. To be proud in one’s natural instincts and desires is to go against God at full velocity. It is to put oneself under certain threat of eternal judgment. Sin, after all, is at base nothing other than pride — it is choosing one’s way over God’s way, and one’s instinctual desires over God’s eternal truth. How we Christians should tremble and pray for all who exult in Pride Month. How we should reach out to them, and proclaim Christ in love to fellow sinners just like us.

But we should not stop there. We have our own cause to celebrate in June. Our cause, quite simply, is life. In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Roe v. Wade, the devastatingly inhumane court decision that since 1973 has enabled the destruction of millions upon millions of children. In the long annals of public jurisprudence, one can scarcely find a more wicked measure than Roe. Yet in his all-wise providence, God saw fit to strike Roe down right in the middle of Pride Month. What a rebuke! What an otherworldly intervention.

It’s hard to underplay just how shocking this development was and is. News of the coming overturning of Roe started leaking in early May 2022. Personally, I happened to be flying into D.C. for FRC meetings just as this news broke. It seemed too wonderful to be true: the most monstrously evil decision in modern American history was going to be struck down? The night after word got out, FRC staffer David Closson and I went to the Supreme Court. The tone was one of rage as countless young men and women protested the news. I scarcely knew what to do as David and I wound our way through the huge — and very angry — crowds. Was this real life?

𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡
It was indeed real life. But those days of dazed wonderment are over. Now, as in ancient Israel, have come the days of settled joy. No, the fight against abortion is not over, not by a long shot. But believers should celebrate genuinely God-given victories. We who are saved by grace would be ungrateful children indeed if we did not honor this great outcome in the public square, one akin to the ban on slavery in Wilberforce’s day. Toward that end, here’s my encouragement: all through June, celebrate “Life Month.”

We should not do so in an obnoxious way. We are not fighting flesh and blood, after all. But in days that feel so dark, God has given us a great victory. This means that June is no longer a month for exalting human pride; June is a month for exalting God’s greatness. It is a time to rejoice in God’s gift of life, natural life, and spiritual life. God is our Creator, making every image-bearer such that every single unborn child has God-given dignity, worth, and purpose. God is also our Redeemer, making dead sinners live through the gospel message (Romans 1:16).

There is no better message than this. It is far, far greater than the pagan gospel, the message that you will find true happiness by embracing your natural instincts and then finding affirmation from others in them. This is no gospel at all, in reality, and it leads to fleshly captivity. But according to the true gospel, there is a way out of this enslavement. God is not only Creator and Redeemer, but Lord. The risen and ascended Christ rules the cosmos. At present, his rule is a spiritual rule, calling us to forsake the flesh, join the visible church as members, and live by grace as salt and light in this realm. In human pride, there is slavery; in Christ alone, there is freedom.

𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞
Our world loves death, for death is what following the father of lies gets you. But Christians love life, for life is what God delights to form, naturally but especially spiritually. So, in June, I encourage you: celebrate Life Month. Praise God for his grace. Share your celebration on social media. Create graphics and images, and promote them. Do podcasts about this. Don’t be silent; don’t be intimidated by our pagan culture into muteness. Speak, and don’t stop speaking. Pray, and don’t stop praying.

Start serving at a pro-life work. In fact, work against abortion any way you can, recognizing the murder of an unborn child as a genuine crime, whatever complex factors may lead to the pursuit of one. Calmly engage someone who is celebrating Pride Month, and proclaim Christ to them. Lovingly tell them the truth about sin and the hope that is in Christ. No one is too far gone for God to save them. And no one who is saved is a hopeless case, an abandoned child of God, or too much of a spiritual failure to grow in grace. I repeat myself: for all of us, there is hope, infinite hope, in Christ (Colossians 1:27).

June is Life Month. It cannot be otherwise. In June 2022, the Lord of heaven and earth saw fit to strike down the chief “right” (and rite) of the liberal worldview in the very month when that worldview was most glorified and praised. What an incredible move this was. God, you see, is not mocked. Nor is God asleep. To the contrary, the living personal God is active and working. This God is the God of dramatic reversals and breathtaking miracles. This God loves and celebrates life.

The BRICS alliance is going to get bigger and stronger as 24 new countries now prepare the join the bloc. The nations are looking to end reliance on the U.S. dollar and accept the new BRICS currency for cross-border transactions. The move adds pressure on the dollar and challenges its hegemony as the world’s reserve currency. Nonetheless, if BRICS expands to BRICS+, the dollar and other leading Western currencies like the Euro and Pound could decline.
Currently made up of Brazil, Russia India, China, and South Africa, various countries have submitted membership requirements to add to the ranks. of the BRICS nations. Others, meanwhile, are publicly supporting the mission to deteriorate the US Dollar through de-dollarization.Will the dollar fall and sanctions cant be impossed on those nations breaking away from the US dollar for not ussing the US currency how about a new world order as it seems to be unfolding China Russia Saudi Arabia Turkey Iran Brazil Africa and south America is open to the highest bitter

This gripping independent film will open your eyes to this massive problem plaguing our youth, our family members and our country.

Where to go - Africa is big
Let me invite you to the "Island in the Sky"

A month ago I was in the situation of not knowing anything about Africa. I have only traveled to America, Asia and Europe.

This year I hiked 200 km on the Pekoe Trail in Sri Lanka. Oliver Andrys Pintu followed my travel reports and told me about Malawi, a country that resembles my second home Sri Lanka. Mountains and tea cultivation.

So I started researching. Not as easy as I thought. Because I couldn't find a forum to chat with backpackers. Also after demand in several Africa groups. Instead of answers to my questions, I received numerous offers for other locations and travel agencies. That didn't make me happy.

Step by step I found more information myself and thought if it is so difficult for me, then also for other travelers.

I made a quick decision and set up a private hiking tour group in Mulanje, Malawi. There we share travel stories, photos, videos, a list of guides and porters and other information related to Mulanje Mountains.

New members are welcome as long as they accept our rules. No business, political or religious posts like I've seen in so many other open groups with neglected maintenance.

The main goal of our group is to help visitors to Mulanje Mountains with travel information.

Are you interested? Then come and join our group.

Mulanje Mountain Hiking in Malawi

Here are some of the photos I got from Oliver Andrys and his friends.

Any questions about Mt. Mulanje-Massif? Ask me or Oliver Andrys . Maybe we can help you directly.
