There is something I want to tell you

This is an awesome picture. It just jumped out at me. Maybe it's because of what I wanted to tell you.

It's about three weeks since I worked on the paving.

It kept my mind and hands busy for today though. We were celebrating Woman's day in South Africa. It's a public holiday and this year the minibus taxi's had a strike action with today the last of their strike. It were supposedly because they don't make enough money but as usual it were to rape and kill people and to damage property. All with the consent of the government.

If you are not South African, the minibus taxi service in South Africa were called in to life by the previous government because in some areas the bus services were just too difficult to maintain. The people in those areas just kept on burning busses at any wim.

I instead of saying no more bus service to that area, they pretended to be the good guy and licence 18 seater minibusses for private owners to taxi in these areas.

They should have just said no more bus services in areas where the busses get burned regularly.

Now we are stuck with the scurge.

To qualify for a taxi driver, you need a valid license with a pdp and to be in good health. You need no other qualification except knowing how to break any traffic regulation ever made.

Now we have these uneducated taxi drivers on strike because they are not making enough money and demanding that the government do something about it.

Since nothing they like happened they said they will attack people on the road. They did. They shot at people going to work using Uber killing a family member of my one neighbor and attacked people walking to work.

All with governmental consent.

But that's not what I wanted to tell you.

I'm actually just wanting to update you on things in my life.

The job I got came and went. In the two weeks I were there I did nothing that can turn into an income. I cut my loses and ran.

Eventually I réalised that I'm there chasing money. Not for me.

I really don't mind working but chasing after Mammon is not what my life is about. I have a roof over my head and food on my table because God gives it. If I prosper it's because God allows it.

I can run after the money until I'm blue in the face but nothing works unless God allows.

That is what I wanted to say.

You can comment on this if you like and we can talk about it. Maybe I'll tell you about everything that is wrong in my life but none of these things matter.

In case you wonder, I am not Christian or Muslim. I totally believe I Christ as it is written in the Bible. I totally don't believe in the agendas the Christians, Muslims and Jews are upholding.
