JLucas (ONE LOVE ONE HEART)

By kaka Lucas, 25/11/2022 During my visit to Trinidad, I had many hours to myself. I could not stop listening to this song, “JIREH” – by Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine. I know you may have heard it, or maybe you have listened to it. It is a beautiful song. The title literally means –…

By kaka Lucas. 25/11/2022 I love my Jamaican sisters, and even though two of them have migrated to two different countries, I love them 100% plus one more. I would like to see them or call them every day, but they are more productive than me. One is a student and a loving nurse, while…

By kaka Lucas, 10/31/2022 I did not want to attend the “Night with God” vigil with the young people in the diocese. There was no specific reason.

By kaka Lucas, 27/10/2022 In our house, I am well known as ‘the hungry man’. Each day, as it approaches two o’clock in the afternoon, I would walk from the office while calling out loudly to our house help, and she will sometimes join me by shouting in unison, “ME HUNGRY”. Today, I did my…

~ by kaka Lucas, 27/10/2022 We all have this friend in life called “Death”, who at the moment is forgotten for a while, for it’s been a while since he passed by. There are those who have him now as a close friend. If you haven’t met ‘death’ yet, be sure to get ready for…

By kaka Lucas, 27/9/2022 Thinking that I can’t have eight straight hours of sleep, I was brought to an instant stop so I looked at some pictures I took in St. Ann some months ago. Then the writing from the Gospel of Matthew clapped for me to turn and look ….. And why are you…

~ by kaka Lucas, 1/10/2022 Oh, my word! I just woke up and found out it was October 1st. Wow! Where did September go? October is already here with a big smile; we are now in the last quarter of the year. No one told me the year 2022 would win the marathon. It actually…

~ by kaka Lucas. 12/9/2022 This is an edited version of a story that I posted a few months ago, NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOUR STORY. It keeps recurring and reaffirming my belief in my story. It is hard to stretch and make a move, it is painful to raise my head and give a…
