DAY 2
Today was such a great day. In many ways so. I joined my friend to celebrate the biggest thing in her life Yet. and that was good. Another reason why it was such a great day is that today I actually got to attend the services at the camp. What's even greater, I got to minister in the Youth worship team. I say that is great because I get so much joy from getting the opportunity to serve. Not that. Being a Youth meeting, I got really challenged and inspired since we had the speakers sharing a lot about DESTINY PURPOSE DREAMS AND VISIONS. I can tell you one thing I have really been inspired and moved  so far. There is only so much God says about Our dreams and the purpose that he has for our lives. Actually come to think of it, everyone's' life is actually already mapped out through God's divine power. It is for us to tap in a and to live to our fullest potential.

You know what is so great about a young persons life is that you can be anything you want to be, in whatever way you want it to be. I know that I will be good and turn out great. I got my notes, One day I will blog about what I have learned and where I see God taking Me.

Okay, so that was the preaching part. But man the singing and dancing was so vibrant. There is actually a group of guys who really danced until I almost burst out laughing from stage. Those Guys were Hilarious.







Apart from that, the worship was great. I could feel the presence. And the food was great too. I gotta congratulate those peeps that were in the Kitchen today. Okay so today I was not really worked up like yesterday so I feel okay..
There's a lot that I can share from today. But those were the main highlight of the event
Here are the just but some of the stuff that happened today


Oh and By the way, there should be a photo of my friend's cake somewhere..... what a day!

As you can see, a lot is going on here. There are young people who are sold out for God, worshipping, singing and dancing. It is really cool to know that very young people. 13s to 20something year olds take the Gospel really seriously. One more thing I did not mention, the Sunday school children sang really beautifully.. I think there is a photo up there somewhere. Oh,.. yeah, and I appear somewhere in the big middle photo,.. looking oh so amazing for Jesus.

Day 1.

Today is the day I was supposed to be in the Kitchen. Well, No service for me, at least until evening for the revivals.


UMMMMMMM.....

[ I have been so psyched up for this Youth camp. I have been talking about it from way back, so I pray that it will be a great success. Yesterday church was really amazing. We danced so vigorously (obviously not to the liking of the Older generation- But our Love is Loud, we Just can't help it) We also led the praise and worship. Can You imagine? the Youth group of around ten people standing in front of about 500-700 people in the church??? It was a first, though I totally Liked the experience.. Any way, I promised to blog about the Youth camp.]


HUHHHH...[LONG SIGH]


(And now back to where I was)
I knew it was going to be a hard task, I was almost alone, the rest of the guys had other stuff to tale care of. My sister, whom I was to be with in the Kitchen had to report to Moi University that day. A lot of inconveniences came at first. We had agreed to meet at 8.30ish, but no one was there at 9.30, I think I only saw one person, But then again, We had to do our thing. The church was opened and we started praying until people finally started coming in. ( Remember I was still  supposed to cook) Why lie, though, the day started at a verrrrrrrrrry slow rate. People finally started showing up at around 12. Lucky me there were not so many people to feed.  Rice with Beans, and that was done!
Immediately after we started cutting the sukuma wiki (kales) what!! that was the most hectic thing I did. No , wait, I forgot the cooking Ugali part. You can imagine, preparing Ugali for a 50 people serving can be hectic. But I made it! whooooo!! -i wont disclose who cooked the Ugali. for the mean time just keep thinking its me.-
And so evening came and I had not really recorded any service atandences. But This will be a great Youth convention. We already have so many borders. This is good.

And of course I leave you with a few photos from the super amazing day. You know I would still say that!!...

As you can see it was a pretty hectic day, full of smoke,.. But it ended quite well. I thank the Most High God for that...

Good night dairy!

In the same spirit of innovation, Safaricom should launch a mobile plat form for voting.
Come to think of it, it may actually be practical. With the ongoing sim card registration, my guess is that, all mobile and telecommunication service providers will have a data base of all the registered customers. This is a plus because it means that the mobile service providers will no longer have ghost customers, but will be able to make an account of each and every customer that they have.
Back to Safaricom. Why Safaricom and not something like Zain, no I mean Bhatri Airtel? well, the answer is simple, Safaricom has for the longest time been a Kenyan service provider, rolling out products that are relevant and practical to the Kenyan Market. They also have the highest market capitalisation in the country. That's why.


So why should we really consider mobile voting? As far as we know, majority of Kenyans  now own mobile phones, plus, If the companies shall be able to link up with the electoral commission that is present in the land, voting would be faster and smoother. We have thought as a Nation that we should tap into on line voting. As much as that is a reality, not many Kenyans are technologically savvy, especially those who are old. On the contrary, most Kenyans can use a mobile phone gadget smoothly with no hustle. Another thing, it would take the government a huge budget to put the machinery into place. I mean, all the computers in the ever growing Kenyan constituencies, then the possibility of the system being hacked into.
Having a mobile voting plat form would be easier and cheaper. It would only require the customer to have a sim card that is registered as a customer and as a voter and you are good to go. An average sim card goes between 50 Kenyan shillings and 100 Kenyan shillings.


This would be a milestone in any voting process in the whole world. But as you imagined, it would also have its limitations. The system may be hacked into, and the secrecy of the vote tampered with, or worse still, rigged. The system may also crash due to handling many requests at a time. The limitation list may seem longer, but innovation is necessary to see to it that it doesn't happen.


This may look as a big joke, but trust me, when implemented,.. this should be the best thing to happen in any country. I still insist, mobile voting will take us a long way.

iKenyans are beautiful people, yet very complicated and hard to understand. They have been known to be a working nation and also a drinking nation, though I cannot be able to tell which one comes first. Kenyans, the workers are real hustlers, hardened by the society. Its a rough world out here, and therefore, learning to fend for oneself is a must know-how skill. And that is why Kenya is a working nation. Yes, I know, most of you don't believe it, so here is another reason, the president- Kibaki, said so. So its indeed a working nation.

The drinking part,... well, that is for you to tell me, I mean, its only in Kenya where the MP's will try to legalise a brew that has been banned in the land since independence, so if that is not reason enough, You probably know one or two people living in a a 50 metre radius from you who are serious drunkards. Not the grab a beer at a pub drunkard. No, I'm talking about, getting- wasted- till you- forget- yourself  drunkard, the sleep -in- a - mud- puddle drunkard, the sing -to- the -whole-neighbourhood drunkard.

That said and done, this country has had the most peaceful referendum. I still feel it was an insult to international press, who came hungry for some 'Kenyan action" a big disappointment I should add. They might have expected what they saw in 2007, but hey, who said that Kenyans are just some cold hearted blood sucking tribalistic folks? We have some love in Us. In fact a lot of love for that matter.

In case you dint know, the referendum was to pass the all so talked about constitution ion Africa. And it passed.

So here is the new referendum. folks want the president( I inclusive) to declare tomorrow a public holiday. You may not understand, but in Kenya we love public holidays. For some reason, it unites as more as Kenyans. It unites us as a people, and also to those who don't mind a bottle, it creates a stronger drinking nation fraternity.
We also get public holidays,and we miss some opportunities to get others. For instance, had Kenya gone to the world cup, we would have had a month long holiday.(so much for the working nation)
 But that is not the main problem. Most Kenyans are happy, even those like me who voted against the proposed constitution, so how how about  a holiday MR president? I know you are happy too, plus you are the one who declared us a working nation. Just a day to support your drinking brothers wont hurt. Or , a day to praise God for the victory would also be cool.

We could even set up a referendum this moment and vote. Promise you will not be disappointed
