This is one of the guys that I find very funny in the way that he analyses the world. Today facebook banned him. Isn’t it strange how the net seems to be slowly being hauled in. We aren’t allowed to express ourselves anymore. A sad day for journalism. It makes me wonder if I am wasting my time with this network. It’s a good news network. I can’t see how government won’t like it. NOT. But at any rate there is no place to hide anymore.

Work work work
I was recently made the chairman of a complex. I was confronted on day one with a wall that was falling onto a parking space. I had to act quickly. So I demolished the wall. My neighbor wanted to build the wall again. I have a sneaky suspicion that he wanted the wall built because he wants to hide his trailor away behind it again.I was contacted again because the energiser of the alarm malfunctioned. The same neighbor who wants the wall built said that we need to replace the energiser.. I went to investigate what was going on and discovered that it was fixed by combining circuits for zone one and zone two. I decided not to replace the energiser.Why am I telling you all this? I am tired of being distracted by people. I need to get to the business of God. I am called to create rebels for God. People who would go against the ways of this world. People who would love and not hate..Too many distractions. I rebuilt a kitchen and painted a flat. It has to be done. And I will benefit from it but I feel like I am being kept busy with earthly things.
News
I haven’t been busy on the network for a while now. I am busy revamping a kitchen. Trying to get my life sorted and organized. I have been watching some youtube videos and thinking to myself , why am I not making any content ? Just so busy.
I turned 48 the other day. didn’t really do anything special. Just built kitchen cupboards. I’d love to create some content but why does it feel like I am not in the right space to do it right now ? I remember the last thing my dad told me was that it was good that I bought a microphone for my camera. I would love to honor my dad and create some content but when will that be ?
I have to move a whole house from one location to another. And then think about everything I am trying to achieve . I just want to have fun and help the world doing it.
Disrupted land documentary
My beloved South Africa. What have you become ? You’ve choked on the bitter pill of lies and un-forgiveness. Not for what was done to you but for what you believe was done to you. It never happened .
I just don’t want to hear of anyone’s sympathy anymore. If you do the right thing , they’ll screw you.
48 – 73 = 25
Here’s the thing. If I take when my father passed on , and I take my age , I don’t have much time left to do anything. I’ve wasted allot of time. When I was 30 I said that when I am 40 I wanted to be in front of audiences. I’ve only spoken at funerals. Never had an opportunity to relay anything . To the point that I feel that I used to have a ton to say , and now ? , I feel like I have nothing to say. I’ve been oppressed and lied to. I have a vision. Perhaps I should start small. But I need opportunity. I feel like circumstances aren’t working with me. In the meantime, I see great strides from the younger folk. They are embracing social media like pro’s and I am sitting here with any and all responsibility. 25 years is all I got . I need to embrace it and make it work for me , not I for it.
I’ve learned allot about multisites and blogging since I’ve started. I haven’t quite figured out advertising yet. There are a few legal loopholes I need to jump through before that ever takes effect. Oh Oh Oh ! Wait.. let me tell you what I’ve found. It’s PDFdrive.com. Where you can download text books for free. So I put in PR books. And I found a ton of text books to download. I wanted to see what I missed out on when I didn’t follow the direction I was told to follow when I did my aptitude tests in high school . Net result ? I have downloaded 9 text books. I worked out that if I have to read 4 pages a day it’ll take me 2 years to read all of them. So that’s what I am going to do. A kind of self imposed degree. I just want to see what I missed out on. Luckily for me , I don’t need to write any exams to get a qualification because the degree I have is already an overkill for PR.
I have also been reading bible. I bought a cheap bible to mark text in . I think it’s better to have a cheap bible. I can’t bring myself to write in an expensive bible.
I feel like I am writing an exam , called life. And I am failing because time is almost up. I remember in School I could never finish an exam in the allotted time.
The Knack
I have a knack. A knack of helping people in tight situations change their public image. And what have I been doing with my knack ? I’ve been handing it out for free. But no more will I do this service for free. People just ride you and when they’re happy they forget about you. My natural gift is PR. What am I doing with my gift ? I am burying it in the ground. I was told to study a BA communications in art degree. I thought ” I am not the artist in the family ” . Why would they tell me to go study art ? Obviously they saw something that I missed. It’s never too late to try and make a go of it. I have been told that I have a smart mouth. I can sell ice to eskimos.
So , starting this year , I aim to do some art lessons. Buy a new lens for my camera , and try to find my voice again. I know I’ve said allot on this blog about my life and what I should have and could have done. I also know that in Christ I get to be what my hearts desire is. But you have to take some steps toward it. Starting with art could lead to being on stage sharing the gospel. I am just tired of being weighed down by people not seeing me for who I am. I’ve realized I have no friends in this world. They don’t see me. If they did I’d not feel like I have to prove myself around them all the time. They’d just accept me. Bunch of idiots. They always get into the ‘ where does your money come from ? ‘ routine.
About 6 years ago I got a word from the pastor of my church. He said ” Nick , it’s time to stop looking in the rear view mirror of your life and start looking in the windscreen ” . I was very angry when he said it but it’s true. I joined that church because it connected me to the people in my high school. None of whom I’ve gained any benefit out of . In fact I’ve been downright disappointed by them. They value I placed on them was misplaced. Perhaps I was looking back after all. And even this whole ” I should have been a doctor thing ” is looking back. ” Or I should have studied PR ” … who cares. Point is.. I must just be happy and the little space God has carved out for me will materialize. And people will tell me what I should be. I’ve an idea it’s PR … Sharing the gospel is PR for God but God didn’t build us to have zero secular success. He also built us to succeed in the world.
Weather it’s giving advice to world leaders or just doing the odd painting , I have to find some certainty in my life.
Anyway , Happy New Year everyone.
I’ll try to post a few more interesting videos in the network this year. Spread it out.
I died 20 years ago
20 years ago I finally realised what it means to receive Jesus as my Lord and savior. I died and He came to live in me. But this is not hockus pokus.. Its the truth of His finished work that I embraced. I refused to go back to work because I realised that I have a new I indentity I don’t have to work for. So I was born again. I was so radical that my family, friends and doctors thought I had lost my mind. I was suffering from depression yes and a broken thyoid yes but there was a seed of hope planted at the same time. This new hope in His finished work kept me moving forward and anyone who dared stand in between me and Him has been crushed.. My exam is over. I don’t have to prove myself to Him or anyone anymore. I represent heaven on earth. Everytime I meet a new girlfriend she starts trying to fix me. Big mistake. I am dead. Immune to fixings. I am alive to God. Many people have failed to see who lives in me and have died\n or suffered terrible fates. I just realised again today ‘my exam is over’ and I have been found fit to serve and deliver His seed to a dying world. Repent for the Kingdom of heaven is at hand.. If you acknowledge me you acknowledge Him and if you acknowlege Him you acknowledge Him who sent Him. Basically if you acknowledge me you acknowledge God because I come in His name. If I then touch you, you should be healed.
Lifes ups and downs
In life we should learn early on who we are. Take the time out to find out what our talents are. We don’t usually want to accept who God made us to be. Why? Because we care too much what people think of us. I was told to study PR. Never did. But if I think about it all I’ve ever done really well is create good impressions. Help people out of their messes by creating a good impression for them. Whether it’s by helping them with a school assignment or helping them out of a bind because of what they’ve done. The work of an advocate in some sense. But we have an advocate with the father. Jesus Christ the righteous. So to come to think of it I was Christ like defending and promoting people, processes and situations.
I am in a cue at the Centurion municipality and I’ve got nothing else to do. So I thought I would write something on my blog. Perhaps one day I’ll call it a Vlog. Would be nice, if certain people would stop interfering with how I do things..
I have noticed that when I tell people about my news network that they want to join. I don’t have the mental capacity to add and track a deciple at the moment. But wouldn’t it be great to have people on board who would look for testimonies and use their cameras for good. Why must it always be about money. People should want to blog without compensation.
Still waiting to be served.
