Arise and Shine

I n Science, Man is classified zoologically as Homo sapiens , which in classical Latin refers to a wise creature. This is not out-of-place since mankind is endowed with unfathomable levels of memory and also a practitioner of sciences; both scholarly and mundane. Man is found to be gifted with an inquisitiveness that can only modestly be described as 'intelligent'. He is enveloped in an 'aura' of disck(kernment' right from the womb. Every second of his life is a neuro-scientific wonder, as he builds layers of experience through a cascade of assembly, dismantles, and explorations. The Homo sapiens is one of several species grouped into the genus to which all modern human beings belong. And through adaptation, innovation, learning, industry, and survival Man has come through an obscure ancestral past with a well-earned legacy of intelligence. I call the legacy 'a bag of tricks'. Not to sound demeaning though, allow me to use a word that brings out the true val

  In these times, information, more than ever, needs to be factual and applicable. For the mere reason, that time is so much of an essence, and repeats or re-works could lead to a devastating loss. Covid-19 has introduced a different ball game. The rules are still being written as we speak. The devastating toll of this respiratory virus has gone 'ballistic'. It is nor regional devastation, but a worldwide one. It is indeed a pandemic. Those that survive its crushing blow, spent months recuperating. Initially, while we were still in the rudimentary scripting stages of the modus of this virus, I wrote a blog titled: 'VIRUS- Vital Indigenous Resource Under Seige'. ( https://www.temgun.com/blog ). I referred to some basic knowns about the coronavirus. However, despite the dynamism of the facts as we progress into the 7th month of this affliction, the basic facts remain proven by science and data management. From a Health & Wellness point of view though, the pandemic re

Big Flood (In memory of Big Floyd) Good morning to me, And Good morning world! To the world I see, And to the one obscured. Today, under Heaven's gaze, As trials and opportunities merge. With a dazzle and with a daze, The Lord’s favor will enlarge. As prayers plentiful pour forth, I know  Heaven hears our souls speek. Jehovah’s grace enshrouds the earth, And His merciful love heals the meek. Let’s receive favor and bask in grace. Let’s rejoice and delight in His love. Let us dwell in our God given space Always filled with blessings from above. WORDKRAFTER (Pen-name for Dr. Temitope Ogunsakin) (On the Morning of George Floyd’s Funeral service June 9th, 2020)

                            Dandelions                                                       Every morning as I gather my thoughts,                                                       Listening for The Holy Spirit’s Words.                                                       I sit across to my Prayer Altar,                                                        Staring out of my window in wonder.                                                       Today, I did not start my ritual early,                                                       But that was because of busy-busy me.                                                       I took care of everything and came here                                                       For my precious Holy Spirit encounter.                                                       Then looking through the window as I sat                                                       I saw the yellow garnish on the grassy mat                                

        HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY (2020)            I live in Warner Robins, Georgia, home of the Robins Airforce base. A lot of historical breakthroughs populate the airwaves when the subject has to do with flying. The Aerospace industry has many museums and facilities dedicated to keeping a good perspective of the many developments which make us immensely proud of the diligence bravery and tenacity of  our ‘flying’ men and women.          This Mother's Day, I want to give a special tribute to the industry of women all over the various departments of life and the economy, both in the US and all over the World . These are our Sisters, Cousins, Neighbors, Friends, and hard-working ladies in many capacities. From the ‘no- office’ Worker to the ‘big-office’ Executive, who are women, kudos to your fortitude, loving care, and family support. From the self-employed to the non-employed who are women, the population of women on the planet has made its strength and calling known. They

AT A TIME WHEN WE NEED REFRESHING T he potency of God's Word starts in  belief. We know that  belief is a fundamental step towards developing  an active faith, without which it is impossible to  come into a  relationship with God. Almighty God is more than our friend because He knows us, He created us, is always with us and loves us with His eternal love.  Author Temitope Ogunsakin has explained the renewal and restoration that takes place in this loving relationship with the Word. Jesus is the Word and He is God. He is many things to a Believer even as a deeper understanding evolves within the journey of life. This is made possible as His Word lights our way allowing us to   arise and begin to shine with an inner light of understanding. Apostle John describes this light in the first chapter of the Gospel according to John as " That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world" John 1:9. 'Renewed and Restored' is an easy-read
