Hmmmmmm? Ok then!!!

Hi there guys, Im back with some news! It could be good or bad but it depends on which side of the fence that you are on. Well, our eighty something Prime Minister has chosen his cabinet and they had the swearing in of the Ministers at the official residence of the Prime Minister.

So, we have as our Minister of Youth and sports, Hon. Lenard Montoute! He should be very effective in that position, as he seems to be very nsync with the youth of the country and the division of sports....what else is there to say?....he is Hon. Lenard Spider Montoute!....hmmmmmm!!!

I am hastily jumping into the position of Minister of Education, as he is one of our own, Hon. Arsene James...born and bred in the Micoud South district! His position should be seen as fitting, as he was in the education business for a number of years, he is a retired principal of the Micoud Secondary school and as he stated today, he keeps abreast with the daily issues of education via the internet and other such methods....so who is better for the job???....Our eighty something prime minister must have been in "sound" mind when he came up with such a decision because it is sooo fitting! What else is there to say, except maybe, HON. ARSENE JAMES is our new Minister of Education. Hmmmmm??....Ok then!!!

Now, here is another fitting decision our eighty something prime minister made, Hon. Alan Chastanet, is the Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation!!! Should i say anymore??? I mean, you do know who Hon. Alan Chastanet is?? Of course you do, he is the minister of TOURISM....have you ever heard of this particular man, who is the president of the St Lucia Hotel and Tourism Association and former Marketing VP at Air Jamaica?...Well do you realize why this position is so well placed?....Hon. Alan Chastanet is the Minister of tourism because to our eighty something Prime Minister he will do the best job possible! He will be working within a web, he knows exceptionally well....Hmmmmmm??...Ok then!!!

Our Prime Minister, developed this particular ministry for the underpriviledged folk who are not able to attain proper housing and the fact that over a ten year period, we have an unusual number of slum living.....This particular Ministry was given to Honourable Richard Fredrick!! ....You know who Hon. Richard Fredrick is and our reliable and critical thinking Prime Minister has suggested that, Hon Fredrick is the most appropriate person for the job....Truly, who am I to disagree?...Our PM suggested that he is suitable because of his experience as a police officer...he knows the people and what affects them and the reasons they stoop to such poverty stricken living. Hon. Richard Fredrick????....Last night, an individual called on Claudius Francis' show and suggested that since Hon. Richard Fredrick makes soo many references to God, maybe he should follow this one commandment that suggests, "thou shalt not steal"....I do not know where she got that from!! I mean, is the man a thief?...Did you hear of any convictions?....Our PM says he is the best man for the job!!!....Hmmmmmmm?....Ok then!!!

We have Hon. Dr Keith Mondesir, as the Minister for Home affairs and National Security. Of course we do know who Dr Keith Mondesir is because many of us must have been treated by him a hundred times! Yes, indeed he is a good medical doctor, nobody could dispute that. Hon. Keith Mondesir knows what to do to make a sore throat go away, he knows what to do to stop a belly ache! We cannot dispute, the Minister is a Good doctor. Our PM has seen it fit to make him the minister for National security and I can completely understand why he did that. I mean with the man's Medical background.....well, it was the obvious choice!!! After being sworn in, Hon. Dr Mondesir said that he would do his best in the position that was given to him and he was not shy to say that he would appreciate the help of the people in order to fight the increase in crime. However, Im certain there was some noise about the good doctor being charged with assault more than once...Hmmmm??.....Hon. John George Melvin Compton was right, as he has made the best possible choice for that position and only a man of sound mind could be so well "aware".....Hmmmmm?.....Ok then!!!

Hon. Ezechiel Joseph and Hon. Marcus Nicholas(JR) as Minsters for Agriculture, forestry, fisheries...Hon. Gaspard Charlemagne as Jr Minister of Education, Hon. Rufus Bousquet as the Minister of External affairs, broadcasting etc.....Hon Guy Joseph, as the Minister for communication, works, transport and public utilities....lol....Im sorry, i couldnt help myself....Hon. Guy Mayers and Hon. Edmund Estephane(jr), as the ministers for trade, industry and commerce, Hon. Ausbert Duvergne in Economic Affairs, Hon. Stephenson King in Health and Ummmmm....Hon. Charlotte Elizabeth Teresa Tessa Mangal in the affairs of family, social transformation, human(Jr).....

Well ladies and Gentlemen, these are the members of our cabinet....Our PM made the best decision for our country and for the people, so that, as he states, "we can begin the healing process"...that sounds like the SLP were a bunch of blood suckers who wounded us very deeply and critically....o well, thats just me....

I would appreciate your views on our well able cabinet and your thoughts on our PM's choice.....As i have told you, I am in a critical state of shock so I can only tell you what I have heard....

Anyway guys, at this point: Adios!! I will catch ya'll later!!

Change the train of thought


Well, hello again guys! I just came from Dennery, at the school and every body i meet is still very much amazed at the elections! It is actually the hottest thing going on! People are arguing and making allegations about both parties, threatening each other and every thing else....Wow!!! Im truly amazed and still stunned!!

Well, i think i should try to change the topic that is consuming our thoughts at this point! Let's see!! Where exactly can I go! Im not trying to trivialize the fact that all of our lives may or may not be in jeopardy....lol....Im just trying to transfer our attention, so that we may not die of a heart attack because of sheer joy or complete rage....lol...In my case, it could simply be "death by the ultimate shock" after all, who could truly fathom that the UWP is the new government of St Lucia? I mean really? Not even the UWP themselves! They must certainly still be in shock! The evening of elections, my Mom and my other significant family members did everything but cry! We are still consumed by the shock ! I think Jenin still goes around listening to the news for the tiny hope that the outcome of the elections was a humongous error because, I mean, the SLP, lost!!!!

So, in an attempt to change the subject, I have decided to ask a very serious question. Are we really ready for the second coming of Christ? To tell you the truth, I dont think that I am! I am not sure when I will be ready but it is always a good idea to try our best to remain close to Christ, no matter what we may be battling in our lives. I can tell you that it is not very easy to stay grounded in Christ, especially with the many temptations that look so very desirous to us. However, with indepth and fervent study of the bible, we can attain a a relationship with God. In order for that relationship to be sustained, we need to continue with our morning and evening devotion.

A strong relationship with God will result in strengthening of faith. If our faith grows, then ultimately we will want to go around witnessing and telling others about the love of Jesus. As the bible has commanded, we should go forth and preach the gospel to all the world!

Last Sabbath, at the Ti rocher SDA, pastor Stephen was preaching on Saul, and the drastic change that occurred within him when he got to know Jesus; thus becoming Paul! Paul preached the gospel of Jesus Christ. This was his life's mission and in second Timothy, Paul suggested, " I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith,. Henceforth....." (read your bible)
I dont think we can go about saying that we have fought a good fight or that we have kept the faith, but we could at least try to be like Paul who was imprisoned and yet worshipped, thanked and praised God with his entire being....Let us make this vow to simply have at least some of the faith that Paul possessed!

Anyway guys, it is always nice to talk to you and to hear your views as well! QAt this point, Arriverderci! Until we meet again!

Not Dead Yet


Hi there guys! Really, I am not dead, Yet!! I have simply been a bit busy! I have been going to Clendon Mason and watching tv....you know the usual....lol....
Well, actually Im kidding! But lets see, i have just been working and socialising and so on. School was just closed last week! I suppose i have been a bit busy and I am so sorry for that!

Well, lets see, what's first on the agenda? Elections?! Of course!! We had that on the 11th of December and I am not sure whether you were shocked but I am not going to lie to you, I am still in shock! I expected the United Workers Party to win some seats, but guys eleven!! Eleven!!! I never expected that! That seriously was a shock! Places like Babonneau, Gros Ilet and so many other places that I thought the St Lucia Labour party was going to win.....O well....

So, we have got a new government, ladies and gentlemen! We have an eighty something man as our Prime Minister! We have to simply wait and see! Hon John Compton says that age is just a number and i agree with him a hundred percent! But i think there is a point when we have to stop suggesting that age is just a number! Though age is just a number, time takes a toll on memory, speech and the ability to think clearly and critiically! But anyway, who am I to suggest anything here! I am barely into adulthood.... :-)

The St Lucia Labour Party won six seats (the opposition now) and the UWP won eleven! So now, we are just waiting! The majority voted the UWP, so they must have something to offer, right? St Lucians are not dim witted! They know what is right and what is necessary for the good of the country! I dont think they were brainwashed or anything of that sort! They made the best possible decision for themselves and their country! So, let's wait and see!! Good luck to our new government!!!

Anyway, I am moving right along! Clendon Mason got new staff for the month of september! Really eager, young, intelligent persons! Not bad! Met this teacher, she is sort of a new teacher, but not really because she was there before! Her name is Ms Monrose! She is actually Wendy's cousin! I adore her, i love Clendon Mason just because.......She is a really lovely individual; very funny, kind and a whole lot of wonderful things.....I hope to introduce her to you at some point in time!!

So seriously guys, I have missed you so very much! Thank you for always reading and always commenting!!

Talk to you Later! For now, Adieu!!!!
