SUNDAYS
<p>It is safe to conclude that everyone loves Sundays and for different reasons. Sundays roll around with a vibe that's pretty much relaxed. Dawn comes with a pace that's pleasantly not in a hurry like the grey after dark is taking its time before giving way to cloudless skies. </p><p>Sundays, for many like me, must have a constant — church service. Before you call me churchy, I'll be glad to let you know that attending church service in many families like mine is a non-negotiable. No, you don't get to slink your way out of service. Trust me, you are not going to hear the end of it. But somehow, the practice stuck. Now, even as a grown-up, it's almost impossible to stay away from church on Sundays, not out of obligation as in my teen years but pure of love for the gathering of real people, facing real life issues, drawing strengths through fellowship. Church is, in my book, a beautiful part of Sundays. </p><p>Post-service hours come with nothing but an aggressive internet surfing because, many like me, would rather stay indoors than be found outside soaking in the delights of that beautiful day. I am almost certain that you, my dearest reader, is on this table, scrolling away the day into the bottomlessness that social media apps have become. Post after post, content after content, the algorithm brings to us trending gists, strangers and strange things from around the world. Yet we dive deeper and with every new depth, we pay with the currency of data. But it's a payment we don't mind because we have come to discover that even the fun one draws staying indoors does cost something. </p><p>However, a questioning thought weighs heavily on my mind: are we maximising Sundays or we are busying squandering the moments prying into the lives of people living their best lives or seem to be enjoying their lives, according to social media reports? Are there better ways to pump more life into the ordinary moments of Sundays? Outside the routine we have come to accept as normal, is there a possibility we can do something pleasantly different?</p>
