Today is Christmas day. But my blogging schedule today is financial management and investments. I’ve been thinking lately about what to write on Christmas day, I don’t want to go about the traditional route focusing on Christmas topics (like the Corruption of Christmas or Should Christians celebrate christmas.) I finally found my topic by reconciling my blogging schedule and today’s special holiday. When talking about investments we always want to consider the rate of return. We want to know how much we will be earning per annum. We then compare it with other investments, weigh the risk versus the rewards and make a decision on the matter based on whether the risk involved is compensated by the reward that can be obtained. But what do you think do you think is the best investment in the world? The answer is found in the pages of the Holy Scriptures. The Bible says in Proverbs chapter 19:7, “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given … [Read more...]

Should Christians celebrate Christmas ?
Today we are going to talk about Christmas. No we will not be talking about Santa Claus, gifts, reindeers or food or most especially considering the tons of food we have in Christmas,we are going to talk about something important. We are going to answer a very important question, should Christians celebrate Christmas. I read an article the other day in our church publication stating that Christmas is a pagan holiday and that as Christians we should not celebrate Christmas. I totally agree with the writer that Christmas as it is celebrated right now has its roots in a pagan holiday. If you do a little bit of research in the internet you can find that during the time of the Romans, December was the month of orgies, feasts and festivals to the gods. This is what they called as the fest of Saturnalia. Saturnalia honored the god Saturn and began on December 17. As the winter was coming, the Romans wanted to appease the gods, in order that they could survive the winter. For … [Read more...]

Slippers for Christmas ?
My wife’s enterprising office mate, Ms. Daisy C. Lor has sold her some slippers (Thongs) for Christmas presents. At P 100.00 this unique and inexpensive Christmas gift is certainly something worth giving on Christmas day. I certainly have high regards for people and for ideas which makes something special out of something ordinary. Ordinary slippers with designs were used and decorated with beads and other adornments in order to make it look nice. My wife has informed me that the entire family of her office mate is involved in the making and selling of the slippers. A very good idea to earn extra in Christmas, spend some family time together in making the slippers and exercising the creative juices in coming up with designs. Such entrepreneurial spirit is certainly worth emulating … [Read more...]
