Christmas Story Poem – What was, is and is to come!

Last updated on: December 12, 2023 at 2:10 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

A poetic encapsulation of the real Christmas story! The Christmas Story is about the One Who went From heaven to hell From riches to rags From plenty to poverty From glory to gross From luxury to want From beauty to ugly From love to the lost From the best to the base From kindness to rottenness From delight to dismal From joy to sorrow From calm to storm From paradise to misery From the throne to the cross From God...

Why ‘Christmessy’ is apt and more appropriate than ‘Christmassy’!

Last updated on: January 24, 2023 at 10:37 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

In the midst of the confusion and chaos of covid, my daughter and son-in-law wrote and staged a play for their church titled Christmessy. The play showcased all that went wrong on that first Christmas day and the events surrounding it. The play portrayed how the birth of the One we call Savior was not perfect, in fact, ot was nothing but a true mess! It set me thinking of the events that happened so long ago, and how appropriate...

The Oft-forgotten and Over-looked Character in the Christmas Story and Scene – Joseph!

Last updated on: January 24, 2023 at 10:37 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

When we think about the birth of Christ or read the story of Christmas, we tend to focus on a number of specific happenings and people. The angel appearing to a virgin, Mary visiting her cousin Elizabeth pregnant in her old age, Joseph silently thinking of putting Mary away, the angel speaking to Joseph, their marriage and trip to Bethlehem, the appearance of a star, the wise men bearing gifts, the shepherds being visited by the angels, flight to Egypt...

How to Groom Your Successor to Succeed!

Last updated on: January 24, 2023 at 10:38 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

According to George Ehusani success without successor is failure in disguise. In my previous article, I wrote about choosing your successor, giving tips on how to identify and select your next-in-line. Once we have recognized who is to follow us to take up our mantle, it is mandatory we give time and take efforts to groom them to fit the bill. Our work doesn’t end with zeroing in on who our potential successor is, but it extends to and continues... Read more

Your Second Line and Second-In-Line – Tips to Select your Successor

Last updated on: January 24, 2023 at 10:38 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Success and Successor My father always used to say that success needs successors for it to be perpetuated or solidified. According to Peter Drucker, the final test of greatness in a CEO is how well he chooses a successor and whether he can step aside and let the successor run the company. Bishop T. D. Jakes urges that achievement of any level of success requires that we pour it into someone else. Thomas Jefferson declares “Nothing is more incumbent on... Read more

Church A Landmark Presence

Last updated on: November 30, 2022 at 8:37 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Crowds outside church | Indian Express Church Crowds, Curious and Committed I am a part of a well-known megachurch in South India, in a prominent city. Sunday mornings, both entrances of the building where the church gathers, would be chockful of people, either entering or exiting, through its two gates. Traffic would tend to pile up or clog the road just outside, since it is a main thoroughfare. The church’s traffic volunteers would have hands full in regulating the crowds,... Read more

Second Chances – Don’t Miss Them!

Last updated on: November 30, 2022 at 8:37 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

Second Chance Explained I love family dramas and just finished watching the final episode of Chesapeake Shores on Netflix. The drama about a family of 7, parents and children together, their growth, life and stories, made an interesting watch. The series gives an insight into impact of the parents’ divorce on the children, backtracing from past childhood to forwarding in present adult life. To the surprise of all, the man/father of the family, a workaholic, the reason for the separation,... Read more

Fall Chore: Keep Your Yard Clean!

Last updated on: December 1, 2022 at 11:42 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

FALL BANE Britannica site informs us that Autumn is called fall season since the trees shed their leaves and flowers during this season to survive the upcoming harsh cold winters. Tropical climates nurture deciduous plants which lose their leaves to conserve water or to better survive dry weather conditions and regrow new foliage during the next suitable growing season. Dropping of foliage gives the plant a fresh start in the spring, and the nutrients from the decaying leaves are recycled... Read more

Autumn Mode – Leaf Fall and Like!

Last updated on: December 1, 2022 at 11:48 pm By Sabina Tagore Immanuel

FALL BEAUTY I loved studying Geography in school and do remember the various climatic belts and zones of the world – Equatorial, Tropical, Temperate, Mediterranean and Arctic. I can still hear my teacher dinning into us that Mediterranean climate had “hot dry summers and cool wet winters!” Temperates, on the other hand, I came to know, had four distinct seasons – spring, summer, autumn and winter. Living in the tropics, my classmates and I used to joke that we had... Read more
