TRAIN ACCIDENT MARIANHILL - PAULOS NENE - Faithful and most humble colleague & friend for +-10 years

 Jesus is alive and well

Here is the scenario: More evidence of Jesus involved in our day to day affairs.

Paulos Nene and I worked together for around 9 to 10 years at Natal Die Casting in Pinetown.

Paulos was part of the technical team in the Aluminium Die Casting foundry. He never missed a beat. He was an incredible gentleman in that he was polite, intelligent, self-motivated and hard working. Paulos NEVER MISSED WORK ....NEVER   He was seriously loyal and faithful to the company. Paulos was a most wonderful Christian and Pastor of a Church in the Marian hill area, Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.

One morning we arrived at work having heard on the radio that there was a horrific train accident on the main trainline , in the Marian hill area. Our BIGGEST concern was that Paulos did not arrive at work that day!! As already mention, Paulos NEVER missed work. He was ALWAYS early and at work, never sick.

We could not find out much info, this being back around 1988 or so. 


The next day we get to work and there is "Mfundis" (Pastor) Paulos happily carrying out his tasks in the aluminium Die Casting foundry.

We asked Paulos if he was in the train when it derailed the day before and he replied no he was not. 

He explained that he should have been on that train BUT !!!

For some strange reason HE OVERSLEPT and missed the train that day !!!!!

    How incredible is our God !!!  Paulos, Mr loyal, Mr early Bird, Mr Diligent happened to  OVERSLEEP !!!  and missed a horrific train accident. 

    God has plans and purposes for our lives. AMEN

HIJACKERS ARRESTED

  This is what happened: We live in the most beautiful country filled with amazing people. However, as is currently being witnessed globally, there is a minority of rotten  ungodly self-centered citizens who are bent on destroying and breaking down the peaceful lifestyle we enjoy. So sadly during these times of  unrest and increased crime in our cities, we have naturally raised our awareness and resistance towards the criminal elements At time of writing about this particular incident we get info of wanted criminals and their location, in our area. This info led to a  group of motivated NHW patrollers and an armed police reservist to go out and search. That night, as we did our patrols as  neighborhood watch, we spotted the vehicle, and as we follow them, they slip away! Very frustrating, but now that I look back I believe  God allowed it so as to protect us.  We gave up looking further and went home around midnight. In my heart, my consistent heart's...

PANIC BUTTON PRESSED

 This happened to me on Sunday morning the 17 October 2021 at around 2am On Saturday the 16th October 2021, I awoke feeling not too great. Beautiful friends invited me to breakfast in Hillcrest and I literally ate as little as possible. Something was lurking around, I felt dreadful. Come lunchtime and another most incredible friend invites me to lunch  2am Sunday morning I am on my white throne and find myself actually passing out I had eaten something on Friday night which had progressively slowly taken me out I called for help from close neighbors to no avail  I was literally on my own, on my BIG WHITE TELEPHONE and passing out when suddenly the alarm panic button got pressed Nobody knows who pressed it, but it was at exactly the lifesaving crucial time I needed urgent help to drop my body temperature. Water-soaked towels were placed on my back and around my head.  How incredible is that!!   THE CHANCES OF THAT BUTTON BEING PRESSED AT THE EXACT TIME IS BE...

Chauffeur for an African Wedding, Oh what a day :-)

  (S8) Every day with Jesus series ( What a joll  ) Chauffeur for an African Wedding ...Oh what a day GOD wants your availability, not your ability. Just be present and available, you don't even have to speak. Shocking statement?? well here is the truth of what happened one day I was asked to be the Chauffeur at an African Wedding. An African Pastor, Pastor Johannes ( whom I saw on 31.12.2020 ), whom I had done some short term missionary outreaches with, requested I use our Honda Ballard for the wedding. We agreed and on the day, a Saturday, I pitched up at Hillcrest Christian Fellowship Church with the Honda glowing from all the polish, white ribbons over the front bonnet, etc. I was told the wedding was to start at 10am. I was there at 9am, ready and waiting. I was thinking "I can do this, I can do this !!! " Well by 10am people had started gathering, but mmmm, no sign or Bride or groom, etc, so I started asking around. Oh Boy, I found out, the bride was stuck down ...
