Convenient Seat for My Little Drummer Boy

My little boy dreams of having his own drum set and when he talks of that he mean the real big drum set like that in our church instrument. I had him enrolled before in our community summer school and from then on he’s always asking when will I buy him complete set of drums. Of course it’s too pricey for me as it’s the equal of the price of one desktop computer so I told him that we’ll just buy the old drum set of the church as there’s a plan to buy a new one.

With all this in my mind I noted that when Josh has his drum set in the house it’s good to buy the roc n soc throne height adjustment problem so he’ll have no hard time reaching below his feet. He’s just a little boy and he’ll be playing in the real drum set of the big boys.

Pain of Losing Your Baby

I felt so sad when I heard the news of a newborn baby being stolen from a lying-in clinic. The baby was taken from the Mom by a nurse in scrub uniform for an alleged new-born screening test. But the said nurse didn’t returned again and the CCTV confirmed that she kidnapped the baby. It would so hurting for parents especially the Mom who has just hold her baby for a short time. Even though the news has been countrywide I haven’t heard any good development and the kidnapper is still at large which means that she can still repeat the crime all over again. 

I was thinking that babies’ face are vague when they’re born so after few months or years they will not be recognizable by even their parents that it would need paternity test to identify the real identity if ever the baby would be recovered. Being a Mom myself this thought is so painful and few women could bear this kind of dilemma. It will actually drive a Mom crazy if she will not be consoled and guided. You need a lot of strength to conquer this kind of situation. For me only God can interfere with situations like this and parents victimized by this kind of problem should pray hard and seek help from Him.
