All this time…
It has been a long, LONG time since anyone posted here! Almost a year!!! Ok, not quite. Well, I believe God’s been faithful to the whole family in the time past. We’ve kept in touch with many people but others have been a bit rare though we believe God’s keeping them and watching over them.
During the time past, we’ve seen many thing s happening…
During the time past, we’ve seen many thing s happening…
Zziwa and Laura… sorry… that’d be Peter and Laura got married December 2008 and the Lord’s being even more faithful to them… they are about to get an addition to their family…
Suzan got married in December too, though it’s been a while since we saw her… yeah.
Loads of guys graduated… many of the pioneers and other guys… although eh eh… it seems like the more time goes by, the less popular grad harre’s become… Man, catch me not throwing one after spending that time at school! More than half my life and still counting… Hmmm… Anyway, yeah. So that…
I guess the biggest event was handing over authority to a new committee… I’m surprised no one posted about the annual dinner… it was a B.L.A.S.T!!! The dinner was in March at Shanghai Restaurant and man it was crazy… it was so cool attending a dinner where we could be formal yet totally ourselves… I guess that always happens at BASIC dinners… If you’ve not attended one, you should totally plan to be there for the next one coz bambi… that experience is just for being personal… No one can totally narrate it nicely for anyone else… the company was great, guys looked cool- they were totally dressed up great... as for the ladies... H.O.T! The kimere was gist, we had interesting activity and a sweet poem by the one and only… Josh. Generally, everything was great. And it was graced by the presence of our patron, Mr. Isaac Eyalama. In short, the whole day was great, thanks to our great organisers- Barbra (the new Big Sis for BASIC Matures) and Brenda as well as Nasha and all the other guys that helped out in one way or another.
So ok... after that, we had many other things going... seeing the new guys taking over and fellowshipping together, building each other through the rest of last semester... the last for some of us who’ve been at campus for like forever... BASIC has really been a place of growth for many of us... the friendship and encouragement that we got there while at campus was really great... and even still, after campus.
The last day of the sem, 30th May, we had an elders’ meeting... this time I got to attend legally- as an elder... ok, elder-to-be! It was an elders’ meet and initiation for the new elders. We were blessed to have the company of Barbra and Bruce there and we talked about loads of things, especially Project 150%. I think it’s a really cool thing we are doing- this and we did have loads of suggestions and yeah... we actually met new people as well, which is always a blessing. Our next meet up is August 29th so... those who missed the last one should make sure they are there for the next... it’s always a blast.
So I guess those were the things I wanted to highlight for those who’ve not been able to be coming for the meetings... we are always updated especially through V.B so make sure you are hooked... we grow from glory to glory and it’s a place to learn, share ideas, be encouraged and have loads of fun... as usual with the family... that’s one place they never go wrong.
Well, y’all be blessed with all the blessings you’ve already been given in Christ- peace, joy, excellence in all you do, divine health, protection, provision, favour, and every good thing you can think of... remember Jesus came that you may have life and life in all it fullness...
Shalom and keep SAILing in love.

End of BASIC Sem...
Well, as Ronnie said in the previous blog post, the semester for BASIC has come to an end and guys are now getting ready for exams and stuff... ok, that's the matures... yeah. I must say this sem has been amazing in so many ways, its been a time for growth for so many people and as always, God has been faithful.
The last fellowship, on Tuesday 18th November, was an evaluation fellowship, and a time of sharing God's goodness to each individual personally. Guys talked about the whole proggie and other stuff we've been doing as a family. We had most of the guys share their favourite proggie... and of course it was different for everyone. Some thought the best was the lock-in, others porkaty, and others, the day out... Don't know what you guys think.
This sem, at campus, we had something called the BASIC cellulars, for those who did not know, and we would have three people in a cellular together for one week checking on each other and yeah, all that stuff... it was brought up coz the family had grown and we just wanted to keep that warmth and love flowing. Yeah. For most of the time that went well, though some guys were not too consistent with their groups and yeah. Well, at least for those who were, the feedback was they enjoyed their cellulars... mostly at least!!!
Well, i know its not about numbers and stuff but well, thing is the family has really grown. this sem, we had an average of about 12 people for fellowship every week, apart from about three times and uuuhhhh... yeah. generally God's been good.
However, we had planned to have an inreach to hostels on campus and an outreach to Margaret High School but we didn't have those. Somehow, that didn't work out... The outreach, basically the school programme was tight and inreach, guys foxed. But we believe we'll be able to do well next sem.
I just wanted to let you all know what's been happening on campus this sem so you don't have the excuse that no one said! uuuhhhh... yeah. Well, this is also a testimony of the Lord's goodness, that for all the time, He has been as faithful as He promised to be and always is.
Otherwise, may the Lord bless and take care of you guys.

Those who missed
As you may discover the sem is ending and so many events have occured this sem. So events flunked. In your own word how would you conclude this sem. Both those who mmissed some events and those who attended. HHHMMM. Have you benefited as a trio just like your father. Socially, spiritually and emotionally.
These are things to ponder as we continue with more.
dont forget Zziwa's wedding meetings on Wednesdays' are on and Susan wedding meeting are on Fridays' 5:30 and Sunday 5:00.
Brrrr Live on the Jesus side of life

Lock-In
A brief.
Venue: Ande's place in Bweyos.
Time: (scheduled)8pm-6pm
Attendance: 17. 9 guys, 8 ladies.
Description: A night in.
Although the lock in should have started at 8pm it started at about 11pm when all the expected guests had arrived. Part of the family reached earlier, at about 9pm. These were mainly off campusers who came straight from Ntinda to Bweyos. The other group, was mainly campusers. I was part of this group.
This group comprised some of the people who planned; Cathy, Water.A and Barbie and these people had the dime as well. This group left campus at about 10pm, having got the food and plates to be used. We could not leave earlier because our navigator was not with us.
This first Lock In gave me so much joy. I got to connect with newer Basics as well as reunite with long lost elders. For one, seeing Phillip brought such a joy to my heart. And then Resty, after such a long absence! With good news too...Peter had found her.
The food was cleverly delayed and we all looked forward to it. So when it came, it was just right.
Our host had been expecting us since 7pm and was so excited to have children of the most high in his crib! Andrew was a delightful host. We had DSTV, Scrabble, Snakes and Ladders,etc
My highlights were:
1. The crowd.
It is so joyful being with people who you care for and love and who do the same for you. The campusers, the off campusers, the engaged, the single.. Children of the Most High. I was at peace with these people.
2. The activities.
Introductions are always hard for people like me. Why? My social situation is never proper. So, cleverly telling family mbu I was waiting upon a sister is not easy especially when...hahaha
The mafia game in the morning was so exciting; the discussion about a Christian in a secular society was eye opening; the dancing( though I did not take part) was as exciting as ever; the discussion about BASIC was invigorating; the food was heavenly; and the personal time with people was lovely.
I was fed so well...wabula I ate...
But I guess the most wonderful thing was the people. God's children, my family. The presence of God was in the place and as we learnt new things, made deeper friends, the presence of God was quietly engendering all goodness that took place.
I thank all the guys who were involved in the planning. At the end of the day we can say it was a success. Glory be to God.
Thanks to everyone else who availed their time, most especially the guys who had to sacrifice their time more painfully than other such that they would be with family. I was blessed by everyone. Yes, everyone!
Unfortunately, no one carried a camera so we have words only.
Hope to have another one of these.
SAIL,
Big Bro.

Dinner 08
It has been long since I posted here, I have been down and sometimes net is inaccessible. Thank God for virtual base in the base!! Preparations are in gear for the forthcoming Basic Family Dinner and well what a year it has happened to be. There is something the Lord ignited and I can't seem to put a finger on it.God is in the business of establishing the Family and ALL GLORY AND HONOUR goes to Him.Am excited about the Dinner but have to keep in mind that what makes the Family is not the dinner, rather the small activities that take place throughout the whole Basic Year. And this one has been extremely wonderful : We officially welcomed the first batch of elders and they have big plans in mind. The programmes have been wonderful- from the Tuesday meetings to the Seminar to the birthdays and "porkaties" (Bill Gates' dictionary still doesn't click this word) and now to crown it all- the Dinner.
Many were single last year, many are still single....Hahahaha! Anyway, a number are progressing in the ranks.
But this year has been beautiful- we set out for gold and personally I think we are achieving gold.
Love, Big Bro.

A Happy Reminder
Recall the man who loved the grits? I mean the food not the musical duo. Anyway as I was reading it came to my attention that kings of old had a notorious habit of saying things only God should have been saying. For instance King Nebby; “Is this not this Great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power and for the honour of my majesty?” Daniel 4:30.
I would like to think that before God made His judgement upon this man, He first laughed. I mean imagining a poem telling itself “Look what great rhyme and rhythm I have made for myself?” Wouldn’t I laugh!
My, My! Why this obsession we have with Me, myself and I? Kings are singing happy songs of I have built myself a kingdom for my honour and my majesty. Everyday we give off Nebby-like tendencies thinking that we have done it on our own, by our selves and go boasting while God judges us amidst laughter!
So how come we actually forget that God is there, watching each move, anticipating every thought? We do things in the darkness of our pride, our greed even our rooms forgetting that darkness to God is like light! This one cracked me up- I mean while we are busy imagining it is dark, God is there staring. I think He would love to close His eyes to all the silly things we do but He can’t- He sees all.
Well, this one is to remind us of two things. One; God wants you laughing. Two; God wants you thankful. He wants you to happily give praise and adoration for the things He has done ( yes, I said He, not you-hahahaha). And so after the accomplishments He has seen us through as a family, I think a big thank you is in order to the Most High King of Kings ( the one who made Nebby walk around like a he-goat after he claimed it was him who had built the kingdom-hahahaha; ‘he- got what was coming to him-please, more laughter)!!!
Ah. God is amazing. He just plants it there; from nowhere! You ask what? I mean his joy!
Love you.

My phone issues
Can you imagine after all of this time, only one person has been putting comments on the blog? Thanks dear one. We expect to receive your threat with much joy.lol. Okay, the new year has set off, where are the off campus crew- remember BASIC does not game on campu- it goes on, to our missions, workplaces etc.
There is this thing called 100% free calls on Mango, how is it treating u Mango guys. Me am not fully registered on Mango so I do not get calls at weird hours all because of 100%. Wabula Ugandans love free things!! Mbu u call up a beloved after 11pm!!! You cannot even spend money on the beloved, you wait for 100%?
MTN is worse, in addition to having a lot of airtime on the phone, you are not able to use it because when 10pm clocks, the network is down!! So I am so loaded in terms of airtime but I cannot use it!! The only time I can use it is 6-8am when people are sleeping.
Now my Celtel experience is by far the worst! These guys' off peak hour starts at midnight! Hahaha! I laughed! You see I had called customer service to ask about their off peak hours and rates. Can you imagine the lady even giggled while telling me that their off peak hour starts at 0000hrs! And I also have my 50% extra there.
You must be wondering, do i have three lines? I will let you know.
Now, on campus people, when is our porkaty? we are waiting. Eh, come for primetime, if i spare budde, I will be there. Take care of yourselves.
God loves you.

All is well
Now, this is an amazing morning. I thought first of all that I would fail to get a pc in these labs but then i did! Then to open VB (by the way if you are getting confused- this is not visual basic, rather Virtual Base) and what a myriad of e-mail!!! I am so overjoyed!!!! I feel like going for porkaty right now in virtual base!!!
Banange Hanny, I am so soryy. I wanted to welcome u nayee..... eih, kale now i have missed an opportunity but i am sure God willing it will come again. Muuuso welcome back. I am really loving your e-mails, they have put smile on places on my face i thought they could never reach!
Let me take this opportunity to bless God for all the BASIC and especially the homiez who have endeavoured to keep in touch.
Now, let me start. Emma, you are very much welcome back to Kampala I saw on NTV Kumi, mbu that is where Nyero rocks are; did u visit them? Too bad you found out about Muso's departure 'rate' comes toshow how far you have been.
Eddie, you know we support you and want to help out those homosexual guys become hetero but banange show us some love....u just forward an email from paso? now wat if me am injured. First find out how VB is, those things of forwarding died out...
Haaa!!! Now, this was amazing! When I saw Ofwono Davis i was like!!! Eh!!!! Man as Soke said, it is good to know you finally found a cafe in your area. I hope she is fine!
Kati, I cannot believeP7 is talking of freshers and in that particular sense, (oops, sorry phlyte I read your mail, my eyes just failed to jump that part)....Soke, is she fine?
Now, we need activity from the sics? what happened are they sentencing BASIC to BIC? Do not misquote me here, but how can man live alone with fellow man?
By the way given how I am no longer going to be able to render my services as big bro we shd be looking to God to open our eyes to a vibrant, spirit led, passionate about BASIC, in love with love person to take BASIC to the next level- as Joshua was, so shall he be, as Elisha was, so shall he be and as Isaac was, so shall he be.....lol I hope i am not blaspheming, naye hmmm- someone to take on double annointing of power, authority, passion; someone to enter the BASIC-ites into the promised land. Man guys, the night should not fall and we have not done a thing for our Lord, let the plans get underway. I shall propose ideas and hope they are taken up.
Like, why not we attend PrimeTime at our usual place on pool on Sato? All of the elders!!! Ehhhh!!! We Go!!!
Naye, u guys are surely godsent coz i came to tawu feeling weird naye wen i read your mail, my face turned into a bulb!!!
Man, may God bless you all.
This is an appeal to these following to show up on VB.: Simo, Masambu, Edwin, Izo, Susan, Cathy and Cathy, Emma Laura (wat happened?)...
Eh and announcement- if youa re the one with Joshua Harris, boy meets gal, please return it as soon as possible to the new BASE 200 nSibirwa... or we vote for a new base- how you see!!! Lol
Aaah, guys, i love you. Be well, and encourage each other, man these ends can be tight. send those texts, and make those calls. Moreover,a big number of BASICs are on MTN- we now have 50% extra for chatting. So....love each other.
Love you.

Prayer day.
Hey family, tomorrow is prayer day at Seguku prayer mountain. Carry your own transport. We are leaving at exactly 8am. If you come late, take a taxi and find us there.
Now, thanks all who paid for the birthday party, for those who organised, for those who bought gifts, i really appreciate your efforts. Keep it up, there is a greater reward.
My call is that we learn to keep time lest we be backtracked by the devil. Also let us not forget to keep written records. Write reports. Pray for each other daily, and strengthen each other.
I enjoyed the party, thanks to whoever bought the cake, it is sweet.
Otherwise I love you all.
God bless.

Fading Negro
How can I be proud
Of a nation arrogant and loud?
Worshippers of race before heart
Those who murder the innocent in cold blood.
Eh Africanism Oyee!
*"Nze obudugavu mbupoye!"
I will not rejoice with a nation
That merries at the death of another.
Tell me to get real-
But am sorry I've lost that zeal,
Innocent blood has been shed
On account of clogged heads.
Is it not "For God and My Country"?
Shall I kill because of unfair bounty?
I thought we turn the other cheek
I thought we forgive and forget?
Check yourself. Are we really Ugandan?
Are we the ones who glory in death of others,
Are we so vengeful we don't think
About the trouble spilled blood can bring?
My Uganda is warm,
My Uganda is calm
So where is this nation?
Are we tranced by hatred?
How many times do we see the west getting caught up in such racialist violence? Are we not experienced enough to know violence does nothing? Why should people lose innocent lives? Is Africa known for thinking with matchetes and sticks and guns amd not their hearts and brains? Should we not be so ashamed of such a thing?
Of a nation arrogant and loud?
Worshippers of race before heart
Those who murder the innocent in cold blood.
Eh Africanism Oyee!
*"Nze obudugavu mbupoye!"
I will not rejoice with a nation
That merries at the death of another.
Tell me to get real-
But am sorry I've lost that zeal,
Innocent blood has been shed
On account of clogged heads.
Is it not "For God and My Country"?
Shall I kill because of unfair bounty?
I thought we turn the other cheek
I thought we forgive and forget?
Check yourself. Are we really Ugandan?
Are we the ones who glory in death of others,
Are we so vengeful we don't think
About the trouble spilled blood can bring?
My Uganda is warm,
My Uganda is calm
So where is this nation?
Are we tranced by hatred?
How many times do we see the west getting caught up in such racialist violence? Are we not experienced enough to know violence does nothing? Why should people lose innocent lives?

Easter
Easter quotes. ( from www.Christianitytoday.com)
SOCRATES mastered the art of dying; Christ overcame death as "the last enemy" (1 Cor. 15:26). There is a real difference between the two things; the one is within the scope of human possibilities, the other means resurrection. It is not from ars moriendi, the art of dying, but from the resurrection of Christ that a new and purifying wind can blow through our present world. … If a few people really believed that and acted on it in their daily lives, a great deal would be changed. To live in the light of the Resurrection—that is what Easter means.Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Letters and Papers from Prison
THE GREAT JOY that the disciples felt when they saw the risen Lord, that "burning of heart" that they experienced on the way to Emmaus, were not because the mysteries of an "other world" were revealed to them, but because they saw the Lord… . They announced what they knew, that in Christ the new life has already begun, that he is Life Eternal, the ...
Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death with death.—Eastern Orthodox hymn

Einstein + Sex = God
As a backslidden atheist, I was fascinated by a recent interview with Lee Strobel (The Case for Christ) and world famous philosophical atheist-turned-creationist, Anthony Flew (to watch, see LeeStrobel.com). After watching this 83-year-old Oxford professor, a fun apologetic equation popped into my mind that has proven effective with skeptics.
Plain and simple -- top atheist, Anthony Flew, has changed his mind about God. He said that Albert Einstein was right when he felt that there must be intelligence behind the integrated complexities in the natural world. In simple English, that means that Einstein said that dead things like rocks, metal, plastic, light, and air are made up of such complicated systems that depend on each other to exist, that there must be some intelligent being that put them together. "Mr. E=MC2" said that.
Anthony Flew said that with the huge discoveries in biological science since Einstein's day, its even more obvious there must be a God. Flew said, "If that is a sound argument, the integrated complexity of the organic world is just inordinately greater -- all the creatures are complicated pieces of design. So an argument that is important about the physical world is immeasurably stronger when applied to the biological world." In simple words, he was saying that if non-living things like rocks proved that God exists, then living things (like human beings and animals) with their much more complex and interdependent systems, make it a no-brainer that there must be an Intelligent Designer. "Mr. Ex-Top Atheist" said that!
Einstein and Flew's point is very simple. Think of it like this. You're in high school. Your science teacher tells you that for your final exam you can choose to either build a rock or a human being. Which would you choose? Of course, the rock would be much easier because a human being is much more complicated. If Einstein says that rocks are made of stuff so complicated that it proves there must be a God, then human beings make it even more obvious because they are much more complicated than rocks!
Try it yourself. Build a baby from scratch (no cheating with pre-manufactured humans). Baby building is very complex. You need an ovary, an egg, fallopian tubes, a uterus, a hormone called estrogen, an umbilical cord, a placenta, and countless other womanly things that all work hand in hand to make a baby. Not only that, you'll also need the necessary information-packed sperm, and tubes to transport them to the egg. Each of these very delicate systems must work in perfect harmony to make a baby. And if it doesn't happen successfully over and over again, the human race will disappear.
Could you build each one of these complex systems, time them to work together in perfect sync, and produce a brand new human in 9 months that will grow, think, walk, talk, sing, do the electric slide, play basketball, AND...be able to reproduce more humans with these same capabilities and complex systems? Could you do that?
Now think what the atheist is saying. He says that all this happened without a Creator. There was no "mind" behind creation. So imagine if I sucked the brain out of your head and then told you to build what we have just talked about. Could you do that? It's obvious why the thinking atheist has to admit there must be a God.
So the next time you're speaking with a skeptic, remember this little equation: Einstein + Sex = God. And use it the next time someone asks you for proof for a Creator.
But don't stop there! Learn how to use the Ten Commandments to speak to the conscience and lead them to the Savior. That's when the cross, Heaven, and Hell will make sense. When that happens, get ready to watch atheists backslide and anti-Christians kneel at the cross in humble, repentant, faith.

Wonderful knowledge
Bless you.
How are you good people. I say you are good because Christ is in you. Yesterday I got a revelation in Church about who is in you. Most of us believe only the Holy Spirit dwells in us, but wait my sister, hold on my brother, You have the whole trinity living inside you, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Jhn 14:16
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
-> The Holy Spirit promised here.
Jhn 14:23
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
->Jesus and The Father promise to make their abode with those who love and keep Jesus; words.
Jhn 15:5
I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
->Jesus promises to abide in thise who abide in Him so that they bring forth much fruit.
Dear Ones, is it not such a magnificent thing for the knowledge that we have the presence of God in us?! We are the habitation of the most High and Lofty! Such knowledge is too wonderful is it not!!
Brethren, on this earth let us be as though we are in SPACE SUITS, we carry the atmosphere of heaven. Though this world is not our home, and is fast fading, let us be dressed in the whleness of God! We have heaven's atmosphere in us! Hallelujah!! So do not be discouraged! You are set apart, higly favoured, much loved...you are called friend, you are called child.
God is not unjust, He is mercy itself, He is providence itself, He is healing itself and many more. You have such a great resource for victory in this world. You shall only fail if you let the devil but more good news, though the thief cometh to steal, kill, and destroy, Jesus came that we may have life and have it abundantly! Amen!
Banange, go forth and live as sons and daughters of the Most High. You are totally blessed! Your cup runs over!
Bless the Lord for such knowledge.
Love, Big Bro.

I did not attend the Tuesday meeting at Flarena but those of you who went, I believe you were blessed. Let us then not stop the habit of meeting together. And most importantly, love is the greatest. Keep it there at the top.
