Congratulations! Class of 2018. Your achievements are truly remarkable. We thank God for showering you with success and abundant blessings. May God continue to bless you.

You have heard it said…if you see something, say something. I tell you however and challenge you from now on, if you see something, say something and DO SOMETHING. We are past the age and time when we expect only those responsible to be in charge of our safety and security. We are living in a time when, we have to do something and not just see and say.

Being grateful is a virtue. Anyone who appreciates receives more. It only takes a few minutes to say thank you…but those few minutes may make the difference between who gets an award or not. People tend to remember kind words expressed to them. So take a moment to pay your dues to your parents/ guardians and teachers. They have earned it…say thank you to them and pray for them to continue being a blessing to you and others.

It interesting to note, the world expects this and that from each and every one of you. The same world has accustomed us to the way to think, dress, speak and so much. However, I challenge you graduates to take hold of the world. Do not listen to the world, make the world listen to you. Start by knowing yourself and being yourself. Live and act in such a way the world will follow you instead of you following the world. Define thy ways, stand firm in your beliefs and stand your ground. Learn and read widely…there is so much wealth hidden in books.

Let me leave you with these words, even the beggar is human a being…do not lose touch with reality. He or she that wins the entire world and yet loses ones soul, is truly lost. Make time to notice the flowers and smell them to savor the rich fragrances they have…Now is here, enjoy! You have in us two professionals, Dr. Mr. and Dr. Mrs.…if you need educational guidance or career help please feel free to ask. We got your back.

We are DR&KIDS wish all men, all fathers and consecrated men (in any capacity – popes, priests, pastors, brothers, monks etc.) a happy Father’s Day. It is an honor and a blessing to be a father. Let’s not forget, we refer to God, as God, The Father, Abba Father and more

It is in this regard then, that, we take this moment to thank God for all men, all fathers and dads. Currently, being a father is reduced to meaning having children. I advocate that any man with a biological child or no child is a father so long as he has acted in that capacity for anyone. For example, St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus is a perfect image of a father. During his time, they were many men, but God choose him only to be the foster father of His son Jesus.

It is our prayer and hope that all men given the same responsibility will follow in the footsteps of St. Joseph and do what is required and rise above their responsibility for those placed under their care. Likewise those men tasked as with mentoring others, will also remain the ideal image and mentors they need to be.

We cannot forget, the beautiful women that have been part and parcel in making some of us biological fathers. Thanks to them, and a bigger thanks to all men who have been the pillars of their families.

As a dad to three beautiful children, I thank God for their gorgeous mother and for them. My priorities as a father have changed drastically this year, after a life scare of our oldest daughter. Previously, I made excuses of having to work and missed some of their important events. Nowadays, I have realized money cannot buy life. Consequently, if my kids have an event, it is a priority, not work or anything else for that matter. May God bless us all.

Have a prioritized Father’s Day…

Happy Mother’s Day to all women and especially my spouse, our mothers, grandmothers and more. It is humbling to note that God in His might and omnipotence choose Mary (a lady) to bear His only begotten Son, Jesus. Therefore irrespective of the many objections by various denominational groups against honoring Mary, the Mother of Jesus, I hereby, challenge anyone who feels she deserves no honor to look into their own life and ask themselves why they honor their own maternal mother who is not perfect either. If we as human beings can honor our mothers despite their many faults, then it is right and fitting to honor Mary, the mother of our Lord and Savior. Consequently, May God be greatly blessed and honored because of Mary, and for all other women.

For those women, who have not brought a new life into this world, Happy Mother’s Day to you too. For being a mother does not necessarily mean, bringing a new life on earth, but also to any lady who has gone the extra mile to shape and model the life of another human being; you have played your role as a mother…continue to nurture your ‘child(ren)’. A good example of such a person is a godmother, a foster mother, a dedicate woman teacher, a nurse and the list goes on and on.

We are DR&KIDS wish all women a happy Mother’s Day. Thank you for all you do…the world is better because of you.

Our 13 year old daughter an avid reader happened to read The Power by Rhonda Byrne. Well, she desired to have her own laptop, especially given that she is about to graduate 8th grade and go to high school (a boarding high school I hope) in September.

About a month ago, (March 26th) she had a trip to the pediatrician/hospital that turned into an emergency. As she was being transferred to a specialized hospital to treat her heart condition, one nurse gave her a Rubiks cube as a ‘goodbye’ gift (they thought she was dying). It was such a nice gesture.

Fast forward, we got to the specialized hospital and as she was undergoing a series of tests, she started working on the Rubiks cube. I noticed after a couple attempts she was getting discouraged. So I made her a bet, $100 dollars to solve it…

Surprisingly, she was like “Daddy, it has 6 sides, $100 for each side!” Without giving much thought I agreed on condition that she solved it, and could use whatever the resource she wanted but not give it to someone else to solve it.

What I did not budget on was that she was going to cooperate with her younger brother, a tech wiz. When he heard the deal during a visit to see her in the hospital, he immediately had a plan. He would go back home, download an app, which he bought back to his sister on the following hospital visit.

Believe me, the Rubiks was solved…I was $600 dollar in the hole. But what daddy fails to keep his word or promise to his kid(s)? Certainly was not going to be me. She said, ‘for that money, get me a laptop. I want a 2 in 1 kind, HP, etc.’ She went online and showed me the kind she wanted.  I went online and got her something a little better than her choice.

Upon our discharged and return home, she had a good amount of cleaning up to do in her room. She came across a cut out of the picture of the laptop she wanted, which she had cut out from a magazine and stuck it to the wall in her room.

Believe or not! It was exactly what I had bought for her…she came out shouting, “Daddy! Daddy, The Power worked! It worked! You bought me the exact laptop I had wanted.”

I was pleasantly surprised too, but, it’s true, The Power, does work…get yourself a copy today, read it and put it to practice…you surely will be glad.
