Well, just a little something every day is good enough…
Together let us read this slowly and digest it word for word.
1. Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6. For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
In other words… in order to be blessed you MUST do the ABOVE!!
AMEN.

LAMENTATIONS
I have been attending Sunday services at H.O.P (the gathering at KATI KATI)
I particularly like the way the word is taught and the Q and A session at the end is one that does it for me.
I really enjoyed the teachings on CHURCH leadership and i think it was well researched and quite deep.
Let me add that I am quite a distance from being a pastor, bishop or.....
Bless God.
it was deep stuff.

10 YEARS SINCE I ACCEPTED CHRIST!
On heroes day 1998 in wandegeya, a Kampala suburb where i went to school, something happened. It was a great setting to get all the attention and as part of a dance act that would ROCK the rest of the school, the dance moves had been done and i knew my routine. It was the MAKERERE HIGH SCHOOL Celebration!
In the hot sun than started blazing at 11am, we gathered in the school Chapel where all the equipment was being installed and tested for a 12pm praise rally. Bob Kibirango was on the drums making organized noise as "TRUMPET VOICED" Simon Kinobe made noise with the electric guitar this time round. A truly amazing site, The kids were in control except for one "MZEE" Francis Kaggwa who was just among the kids.
The guest list was amazing: Musumba DJ, HEAVEN BOUND, BV, GO10, YUNNIE ZAWEDDE and Annette Namigadde who was a ready to rewind cassette player of the hit INSTEAD of ME... you took the cross at Calvary, instead of me you shade your blood.....trying not to get carried away.
Well all went as planned and then, the moment of truth... Johnathan Bukenkya, Anita Asiimwe Brenda, Bob, Myself and a few others got onto the stage to bring 3 weeks practice down.
"FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT THINK GOSPEL MUSIC HAS GONE TOO FAR....!!!"
As the speakers belted out KIRK's STOMP, I was gliding across the stage with the the mic in my hands making sure it was well switched off in case people noticed i had a challenge with the lyrics!
Then I fell into formation and the group of 6 started moving like mirror images. The show was fine alright, the crowd was on its feet and you could see people at the very end hanging in the windows just to get a glimpse. It was not long and we were off the stage to a THUNDEROUS applause. Met back stage and threw hugs and Hi 5's around. THE SATISFACTION!!!!
Well, whatever happened in between was but fuzzy till today but I walked back to the hall where the M'sumba DJ aka Martin Sempa was on the mic talking about the Love of GOD, salvation and JESUS. He spoke in the kind of accent that made the makes many "NOT WANT" to listen but "WANNA" listen and listen "aaigh".
Well, I remember he made the alter call and i thought it was time. Hesitated at first and then i heard a voice call me out. Before i could make my way to the front a one AZIZ, well known school kid with a smooth tongue and a sizable ladies fan club walked forward and as though it was like ... He can do it, So can you. I got the courage and then a SOUND BUBBLE... could here my footsteps as i made ma way to the front to receive Christ. THEN as i placed my hand in Martin Sempa's hand the bubble burst and all I could hear was an "EMIRATES stadium" roar.
There.... I received Christ and had the best 5 months of revival sweeping home with God touching my Dad in a way He's never touched him and salvation for DAD came faster than mine. He was invited to a prayer breakfast and THERE 8 people gave their lives to JESUS.
I have had my moments where i stepped out of my lane but JESUS has qualified me that He picks me up and lets me run on without PENALTY....
I was hosted on TOP radio and had my testimony beamed to Uganda to the Glory of JESUS.
TODAY IS BEAUTIFUL!!

WHAT CARD WOULD U HAVE PLAYED?
When ADAM was placed in the Garden of EDEN and instructions passed to him, everything seemed merry. We don't know if that was the case because GOD, who had declared that everything HE had made was good realized that it was not good for man to be alone.
Fast forward to the serpent tempting Eve and the events that followed. When God returned and demanded accountability, ADAM blamed EVE and as the story goes the serpent didn't have a "leg to stand on".
Well, It was nice seeing that OBAMA rose high in popularity because of his accountability and HILLARY initially blamed the campaign manager who walked, then the press which run way from her and finally her Gender which did not have a leg to stand on.
I am thinking..... If Obama was in her shoes, would his GENDER have a leg to stand? considering the fact that the press and the campaign team would walk. I am glad that the BLACK RACE HAS LEG and its walking tall and PROUD on the SHOULDERS of OBAMA
YES WE CAN!!

Obama's first test: Handling Hillary
Barack Obama would like to remind you of something: He won and she didn’t. It’s about him now and not her. He has made history, and she is history. Not that Hillary Clinton admitted to any of that in her nonconcession concession speech Tuesday night, after Obama attained the delegate votes he needs for the Democratic presidential nomination
For someone giving indications she would like to be Obama’s running mate, Clinton was surprisingly ungracious. In fact, if you had just awakened from a (blissful) 17-month sleep, you would have thought she had won.“Because of you, we won together the swing states necessary to get to 270 electoral votes,” she told the crowd in New York City. “I want the nearly 18 million Americans who voted for me to be respected, to be heard and no longer to be invisible.”
But her fighting words only increased the need for Obama to show that he can be strong, tough and in charge. Clinton’s unwillingness to recognize Obama as the victor only increased the need for Obama to act like a president and not like a doormat. And denying her a vice presidential slot may be a way of doing that.
It has been a hard-fought and sometimes bitter campaign, but Obama is not, one of his senior advisers assured me Tuesday night, going to spend a lot of time in the next few months wooing Clinton supporters whose feelings may be hurting.
“I think there are always immediate feelings of disappointment and anger,” Anita Dunn said. “But in the months ahead, he must appeal not just to the constituency groups who favored her in the primaries, but those he wants in the general election, and that includes independents and Republicans.”
Another Obama adviser, who asked not to be identified, said that he was not worried that Clinton supporters would stay angry.
“Look at how many switched today to Obama,” he said. “Look at the Clinton supporters, look at Maxine Waters [the congresswoman from California who endorsed Hillary Clinton in late January but switched to Obama on Tuesday], who were passionate advocates for Hillary, but who switched to Obama.”
“At the end of the day,” he went on, “Hillary supporters will look at John McCain and decide they are not going to vote for a man who will put judges on the Supreme Court who would overturn Roe v. Wade.”
The easiest way, the Obama campaign has decided, to turn the page away from Clinton is to go at McCain full bore, start the general election campaign immediately and ignore the media chatter about what Hillary does or does not want.
“Now is the appropriate moment to begin the general election discussion,” Dunn said. “That is why Sen. Obama chose Minnesota [the site of the Republican convention in September] for his speech.”
And while Obama spent a few moments praising Clinton in his speech in St. Paul, he spent most of his time attacking McCain, raising the issue he so effectively used against Clinton: the need for change.
“Change is a foreign policy that doesn’t begin and end with a war that should’ve never been authorized and never been waged,” Obama said. He used that argument against Clinton, it worked, and now he is going to use it against McCain again and again.
“Obama put his stake in the ground tonight for the general election campaign, just like McCain put his stake in the ground for the general election campaign,” a senior Obama adviser told me. “The story will shift to that. Obviously, the vice presidency will be part of the back story, but there is going to be a pretty active general campaign story going on."
McCain did his part by giving a major speech in New Orleans on Tuesday night. “I have a few years on my opponent, so I am surprised that a young man has bought in to so many failed ideas,” McCain said. “Like others before him, he seems to think government is the answer to every problem.”
But the three speeches — Clinton’s, McCain’s and Obama’s — showed off one of Obama’s great advantages: While McCain was reasoned and detailed, while Clinton had a few good lines, Obama soared.
“Behind all the labels and false divisions and categories that define us, beyond all the petty bickering and point-scoring in Washington, Americans are a decent, generous, compassionate people,” he said. “America, this is our moment. This is our time.”
It was, after a momentous struggle, Barack Obama’s time Tuesday night. And he made sure everybody knew it.

UNDERSTANDING THE WOMAN RACE
I once heard about this book that sold a million copies on its first day in the stores.
The book entitled every thing you need to know about A WOMAN.
With a wonderfully designed cover graced with a picture of what everyone wants to see a woman do, SMILE.
What is most interesting about this book is that of the over 300 pages in it, All but page 301 were blank and these are the words on that special page.
"This book does not have the solutions you seek but by the mere fact that you are reading this, you have taken step one in understanding the WOMEN. Accepting that you know nothing about them and what you thought you knew is but a drop in the sea."
Today.... I purpose to bless GOD for all that I am.
AMEN

SHEEP BY ASSOCIATION:
"RE-DISCOVER"
A farmer herding his sheep one day came a cross what seemed like a kitten, on close examination. it was a lion cab. He moved way with fear that the mother was near. After a long time without any trace of the mother lion, he took the cab home.
For several months he hand fed it and kept it warm and kept it among his sheep. It did not take log and the young lion begun to act like them. He became a sheep by association.
One hot afternoon, as the farmer took his sheep to a near by river to drink and the cab came with them. As they approached the river, a beast the young lion had never seen came out of the thicket at the opposite side of the river and all the sheep leaped for their lives and did not stop until they were safe in their pen, at the back of the pen was the young lion with his tail between his legs. Trembling with fear.
After a week without incident, the young lion went to the rive to drink and as he bent over the water he suddenly runoff to the farm house for safety. This time the sheep did not run with him and he wondered why they had not fled from the beast again. He timidly walked back and once again froze with fear as he looked into the water. It was his reflection.
Again the beast appeared across the river and sheep fled with fear but the young lion stayed behind and realized he as one of the beasts' kind. After a few exchanges of roars and bleats, the young lion found his roar and was faced with the decision of either returning to the sheep and living in fear or reclaiming his place as the LION KING, he walked into the wild with the beast.
Lets think!?

MY TRIP TO UGANDA-RWANDA
I had an opportunity to go to Kigali - Rwanda to visit my brother and his beautiful wife and son and it was awesome. Thanks for the hospitality and kindness you extended to me, I think i had too much to eat and my stomach is just recovering.
Well, i can only give high lights of this thrilling 4 day adventure.
1. Rwanda is Clean or a bit more organized than Uganda
2. Their discipline on the road is amazing, all riders wear helmets and bright clothing
3. The roads are "cosmetic" really nice i mean to say
4. They have Prepay Electricity and Load-shedding is a a myth!!
5. They have a zero tolerance position on non biodegradable plastic bags.
6. They adhere to council plans, so you wont have a "muyenga" rich man's slum scenario.
Well... I enjoyed my stay.
My brother Hosts a (multinational) Cell group made up of expatriates and i was happy to be part of it. His wife (Brenda) is very inspirational and spoke wisdom all the while.... Baby Kay, you know your GOD. I was challenged by your hunger for God, stay blessed.
I crossed to Kabale for 1 day to say Hello to the Jajjas and they were great.
then back to Kampala before i headed back to London.
Well... It was GREAT!

This morning was special,
I woke up at SIX with an urge to pray... but my bed was so uhhhhh!!
I dragged my self to my knees and i dont remember what the prayer was all about but i believe that the spirit interceded for me. Jumped back into my bed and the first person to hit my mind was ALONA, my sister in Kampala...
Found a card and called her phone at 8:30 UK time, 11:30 UG time and guess who picks. her Hubby! "George" i said. " No gambaki? Ni Kamara." ...
In his usual laid back voice he responded, " Eh, Alona ari o mu theatre, yazaara"
TWINS... then i got back on my knees and said a covering prayer.
THOSE GIRLS are mine.
I LOVE YOU NIECES
LOVE, Uncle Kamara "at" LONDON

2007 the year of the GADGET!
iPhone combines three products — a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and searching — into one small and lightweight handheld device. iPhone also introduces an entirely new user interface based on a large multi-touch display and pioneering new software, letting you control everything with just your fingers. So it ushers in an era of software power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, completely redefining what you can do on a mobile phone.
I have in my not so few years as a mac user been the un chattered sales man and i have yet one more item to sell. Having won 5 "souls" to apple at my university. I just wanna show you the IPHONE, cant say much really... i havent got my hands on the baby yet.

MY PRAYER
Hear my cry O-Lord, Attend unto my earnest prayer! Rescue me LORD Jesus
A prayer of David.
1 Hear, O LORD, my righteous plea;
listen to my cry.
Give ear to my prayer—
it does not rise from deceitful lips.
2 May my vindication come from you;
may your eyes see what is right.
3 Though you probe my heart and examine me at night,
though you test me, you will find nothing;
I have resolved that my mouth will not sin.
4 As for the deeds of men—
by the word of your lips
I have kept myself
from the ways of the violent.
5 My steps have held to your paths;
my feet have not slipped.
6 I call on you, O God, for you will answer me;
give ear to me and hear my prayer.
7 Show the wonder of your great love,
you who save by your right hand
those who take refuge in you from their foes.
8 Keep me as the apple of your eye;
hide me in the shadow of your wings
9 from the wicked who assail me,
from my mortal enemies who surround me.
10 They close up their callous hearts,
and their mouths speak with arrogance.
11 They have tracked me down, they now surround me,
with eyes alert, to throw me to the ground.
12 They are like a lion hungry for prey,
like a great lion crouching in cover.
13 Rise up, O LORD, confront them, bring them down;
rescue me from the wicked by your sword.
14 O LORD, by your hand save me from such men,
from men of this world whose reward is in this life.
You still the hunger of those you cherish;
their sons have plenty,
and they store up wealth for their children.
15 And I—in righteousness I will see your face;
when I awake, I will be satisfied with seeing your likeness.

Vision & Delusion
Who is taking the PEACE ?
Does the world need a bit of both?
I have been taught in school that for a body to remain in a state of rest or uniform motion there has to be equal and opposite forces and will only be compelled otherwise by an external force.
I am reading a book by steven Johnson; Mind Wide Open: Why you are what you think. It is amazing but what we call intuition or gut feeling is real and decisions that are made on this feeing are free from reasoning and intellectual bias. These are decisions that come from the core of who you are… thanks to the “amygdala” a bulb like part of the brain. That explains why a good idea is represented by a glowing bulb in many illustrations.
“Sometimes the chance for peace is a readiness for war” these are the words of Tony Blair before the war in Iraq. We break the PEACE to make the PEACE? uhmm...
Nelson Mandela: Treated as a criminal for the vision of a country that is less-known than its ex-president. He kept the peace and as a true leader he won the hearts and minds of the world. Used as a peace broker when Mbeki suggested that AIDS in Africa be treated as an African issue. Well, I am slowly buying into the idea that AIDS is foreign policy by a wicked government to keep Africa on its Knees. If it was a global issue AT LEAST the price of condoms as a method of prevention in would be somewhat in the same range. Imagine £7 in the UK and 32p in Uganda.Thats not a global price for a global "problem solver"? OK, why so much opposition to abstinence fronted by the church? .... That’s an issue for another day.
Yoweri Museveni: Strongly convicted that democracy had failed, he led 27 friends to the virgin bushes of Uganda and rebelled with arms against the government of the day. He has been in power for 20 years and encourages his political opponents to use the courts of law, well, they are not as passionate as him and I applaud them for keeping the peace and working to win the hearts and minds of the people. Make no mistake, NRM has had great success, and a number of faults, it depends on whether you are a pessimist or an opportunist.

Idi Amin Dada: Here is a man under whom 55% of the existing infrastructure of Uganda was put in place. He later turns round and claims he got a vision from Allah that all Asians Must leave Uganda to the Ugandans. It was harsh and the Ugandan economy suffered. But drawing comparisons with Kenya, Ugandans are a liberated people. The Ugandan’s don’t just live in Uganda, they run things down there. Kenyans live in Kenya but they don’t run things down there… Idi Amin allowed Ugandans to try and become producers and suppliers rather than consumers. Those that worked hard succeeded and those that didn’t work failed but Idi Amin provided the chance. No politician in modern politics can do that…. may be with the exception of except Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and his Iranian mate. 
I was watching news and a thought came, some of the “British terrorists” were welcomed after Idi Amin couldn’t hold them. I don’t know how it feels when a minister born in the land is heckled and shouted down by an adopted son of the land who asks him a question like “ How dare you come to a Muslim area?” I cannot stomach an Asian in Uganda putting that question to me…. “ How dare I come to n asian area in Uganda?”
TOLORANCE begins where AGREEMENT ends.
DON’T TAKE THE PEACE?

NK'EVUGA W'EENA GW'EE!!
I once sat with an interesting fellow who was bent on telling me where i hailed from.
"You, M'nyarwanda!" he exclaimed, Where are you from?
By this time my dental formular was flashing at him as his "anger" exploded.... how it started is a long story.
Well, he later established that i was a MUKIGA and this is what he said, " MUKIGA, huh?"
You are a munyakigezi? You are all sons of MASAABA, who fled circumcision and run to the hills of "Kigezi" which you related to well having been in the Hills of Bugisu.You claimed to be the "cleaver ones" the "Bagezi"
As a man thinks in his heart SO HE IS... Thats what the bakiga thought.

MY FIRST GO AT THE PULPIT!!
Sunday 17th was special,
I got the news on the 10th and for a week my mind never rested.
Every so many minutes i thought about what i was going to say, It occured to me that i was worried i would make a mistake. Those that know me think I am a JOKER!! Yes, I did plan on making the congregation smile... but what if my joke was taken out of context. After thinking about all this stuff i got am Idea.... PRAY, and PRAY for WISDOM!!
Well, I did start to pray and WISDOM is spelled as S-O-L-O-M-O-N!
So i went into the word and 2Chronicles did teach me lots.
Lesson one: Seek wisdom to minister to others
Lesson two: Wisdom requires knowledge. (in fact its the application of Knowledge)
Yeah, Cell was phenomenal, then sunday was finally came.
I had not done this in a looooooong time, I woke up at 4am and all i felt was the spirit reminding me was pray... a sister shared in cell about leaving the place of confort and seeking God in the wilderness, I thought it was deep... I left my room and walked downstares as far way from my bed as i could. Then I asked for wisdom, guidance, power and above all the righteousness of GOD, Let YOUR FACE SHINE ON ME, I called on HIM.
I went in on sunday, "running late, sweating....." and yeah, asked GOD to do HIS THING.
It was like magic. The pulpit is a hot place to stand. ALl the sins that you need to repent come flooding back and when you yielf to the spirit life CHANGES right there!!
THANKS to my PEOPLE for letting me experience this.
Cheers
