Lessons of Faith From Being Groomed for a Wedding

Last updated on: October 11, 2024 at 7:52 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Being wedded | Unsplash Wedding Bliss It was during the marriage of our daughter that we realized that marriages are made in heaven but weddings are done on earth! The amount of planning and preparation that goes into a wedding, as well as the number of people involved in making it happen, is mind-boggling. After our daughter’s wedding, my husband and I had a chance to go somewhere alone, and boy, did I really need it to recover, both physically... Read more

An Important Battle Strategy – Smokescreens!

Last updated on: September 19, 2024 at 3:14 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

0 Comments

What are Smokescreens? Smoke screens are usually used by infantry to conceal their movement in areas of enemy fire. They can also be used by armored fighting vehicles, such as tanks, to conceal a withdrawal. They have regularly been used since earliest times to disorient or drive off attackers. Britannica defines it as something that you do or say to hide something or to take attention away from something. Cambridge Dictionary marks it as something that hides the truth about... Read more

Beauty and Blessing of Grandparents Grandkids in Family

Last updated on: September 3, 2024 at 8:58 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Grandparents Joy King Solomon wrote in his book of Proverbs that Grandchildren are the crown of grandparents, and parents are the glory of their children. When a couple gets married, there are always some expectations and oftentimes pressure from their parents to grow through family by having kids. Grandparents find great joy in being bequeathed with grandchildren and find happiness in relating to the small ones. Grandkids often resemble grandparents more than parents, and this creates a special bond between them. ... Read more

Reconciliation, Cornerstone and Keystone of Christian Faith

Last updated on: August 24, 2024 at 11:34 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

important Concept of Reconciliation Reconciliation (the process of making two things consistent,  accurate, and in agreement) means different things for and in different contexts. The dictionary notes that reconciliation is the noun form of the verb reconcile, which comes from the Latin reconciliāre, meaning “to make good again” or “to repair.” In the financial and banking sectors, it is an accounting process ensuring the actual amount of money spent matches the amount shown debited from an account at the end... Read more

God’s Warcraft and Battle Strategy, Are they Illogical?

Last updated on: July 31, 2024 at 1:12 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

War Stories Whenever I watch a movie that pits a small force against a larger enemy, I always look for the battle strategy by which the smaller army conquers the larger one. It excites me to see a bigger enemy, who comes into battle confident of gaining the upper hand because of the sheer number of people on their side, made to bite the dust by a smaller opponent through their sharper wits and smarter battle plans.  Watching Prince Caspian’s... Read more

Why Women Can Be the Best Evangelists of the Gospel

Last updated on: July 26, 2024 at 5:26 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Experiential Conclusion I was recently organising an event in church, and had to work with a couple of people, both men and women, in order to conduct it. To my surprise I found that the women in the team completed their tasks on time. They then picked up the slack when a couple of men failed to deliver what was entrusted to them. They went the extra mile to help me, shouldering the extra burden brought on by this delinquency,... Read more

They, however, use different approaches to fulfill the different requirements needed to complete their assignments. Choosing the right defense attorney who can plead your cause and bring appropriate outcomes is crucial to your case!

Remote Sensing: Is that how we interact with God and People?

Last updated on: June 19, 2024 at 4:57 am   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

0 Comments

Remote Sensing The science and practice of acquiring information about an object without actually coming into contact with it is termed as remote sensing. Used in numerous fields, it is actually the off-site acquisition of information about an object or phenomenon, and is in contrast to on-site observation. The key idea here is without physical contact and from a distance. Today in many areas of our daily life we opt for and use the nuances of remote sensing, especially in... Read more

Default Defense Mechanisms vs Godly and God Mechanism

Last updated on: June 28, 2024 at 7:04 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

0 Comments

Natural Defenses Defense mechanisms are natural, normal, in-built, and part of all life forms. Flora, fauna, and humans use various defence tactics and strategies to exist and survive in this world. Plants have developed natural defense systems, physical, chemical or mechanical, to fight against infection. Mechanical defense mechanisms include thorns and trichomes (plant hairs). Chemical defense mechanisms are found within the leaves. Examples of physical defenses are thorns on roses and spikes on trees such as hawthorn. Plants use these... Read more

Compassion, Empathy, Sympathy – How do they differ and work!

Last updated on: May 22, 2024 at 10:08 pm   By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Definition One of my co-worker, a very down-to-earth, practical person, thought of himself as being emotional in his orientation. I have always considered him to be one full of of rich emotions, rather than an emotional person. Since there is indeed a vast difference between the two, he was pleasantly surprised when I proceeded to enlighten him. I then grasped how important it is to differentiate between sympathy, empathy and compassion. People often confuse one with another, and end up... Read more
