As we moved through the Eastern Nigeria towns of Mbaitoli, Orlu, Ihialla, Nnewi, Njikoka, Awka and Onitsha, memories of a civil war better forgotten, kept tugging. Over three decades later, it was difficult imagining that these were the same places the guns boomed and many died.

?And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children.? ? Isaiah 54: 13 (KJV)

He will wipe away the unpleasant memories.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
