  • Marriage vs Wedding….Three Major Differences

    Marriage vs Wedding….Three Major Differences

    THE WEDDING WAS GREAT BUT INVITE ME TO THE MARRIAGE.”  When I first saw this phrase it hit me like a ton of bricks as I thought about my marriage relationship with Michelle.  Throughout our twenty two years of marriage I hardly gave a thought about the reality of the BIG difference between that one special wedding day and the many years of marriage we have lived together.

    Many couples put so much into that one day and so did Michelle and I and for sure it is always worth the effort.  The wedding cake, dress and suit, brides maids and grooms men along with the best man and the list goes on and on.  Family travel from all over the world to attend and plans are put in place perfectly.  Hearts beat as one between the bride and groom and the wedding vows are excitedly recited with great anticipation of the ring being placed on the finger as the interlude to that first real kiss.  Then the moment all been waiting for arrives.  You are now husband and wife and off you go on the greatest honeymoon ever.  And the fairytale continues thereafter as we live happily ever after……OR SO WE ALL THINK until reality hits and here comes MARRIAGE.

    The harsh sounding reality that many couples don’t think about is that MARRIAGE and WEDDING are two completely different  experiences and until this is discovered they continue to live in a fairytale relationship until reality hits.  Here are three major differences to be aware of to help prepare for the marriage journey.

    Marriage vs Wedding....Three Major Differences

    Wedding Invites the Public While Marriage Calls For Privacy 

    It is great to have as many family members and friends at your wedding ceremony.  It is the normal routine to celebrate your wedding vows in public but your marriage relationship calls for you and your spouse only to become ONE FLESH along your marriage journey.  Friends and extended family can destroy your marriage relationship if they are allowed access to your private moments and plans.  Be careful not to have decisions made between you and mother or father and not with your spouse.  Your relationship with your spouse is your number one priority.

    Wedding Last a Day While Marriage Last For Life 

    The plans put in place for so many weddings are so purposeful as the aim is for a perfect wedding ceremony.  But that same purposeful plan often times get tossed to the curb once that day is done and the marriage journey starts.  Never ever take for granted the fact that marriage will work without your work put into it.  Marriage is NEVER automatic and does not just happen.  You don’t just get married and the relationship gets great by itself.  Every couple married for many many years can attest to the fact that their marriage garden does not stay alive without purposeful watering.  To have a marriage relationship that is beautiful, you must do things to make it beautiful and last forever.  Remember, your vows said “FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, FOR RICHER OR FOR POORER, IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, TILL DEATH WE DO PART.”

    Wedding Allows The Words While Marriage Depends On The Action

    Anyone can speak words but not everyone act on the words spoken.  Hardly any wedding ceremony end without one spouse telling the other “I LOVE YOU.”  Marriages however, sadly end often times because of a lack of that love shown in the relationship.  To have a great marriage those same words spoken MUST be put into action.  Love is not just a word spoken.  Love is at the core of every wife’s craving just as respect is at the root of every husband’s desire.  Starve a husband or wife of love and respect and watch the marriage die from malnutrition.  It is love and respect shown, not just said, that drives every great marriage.

    Michelle and I continue to pray for every husband and wife to experience a lifelong journey in marriage that not just exist but thrives into the greatest of all times.  We have seen and experienced the truth that the wedding was great but the marriage is even greater when we are intentional to fill each other’s love tanks.  Huddle up and enjoy your marriage journey to the fullest.  You can do it!

  • Tons for Gill, Kohli and Green; Mumbai Indians seal final playoff spot

    Sunrisers made 200-5, with England’s Harry Brook out first ball in the penultimate over of their innings.

    Unbeaten Green and Rohit Sharma, who was out for 56 from 37 balls, helped steer Mumbai to 201-2 and victory.

    Royal Challengers Bangalore could have overtaken Mumbai by beating Gujarat Titans, but they lost by six wickets.

    Shubman Gill hit an unbeaten 104 off 52, sealing victory for the Titans with a six in the final over to take his side to 198-4.

    The earlier result eliminated Rajasthan Royals, who needed Mumbai Indians and RCB to lose to stand a chance of progressing.

    Sunrisers, who have finished bottom of the IPL, mainly had openers Mayank Agarwal and Vivrant Sharma to thank for reaching 200 against the Indians as the pair put on 140 in 13.5 overs.

    Mumbai, needing a win to have a chance of making it into the top four play-off spots, lost Ishan Kishan early before Sharma and Green put their side in control.

    Green reached his 50 off just 20 balls and, in making his first IPL century, hit eight sixes and eight fours.

    Titans task proves too tricky for Bangalore

    Royal Challengers Bangalore went into their rain-delayed match with the Titans – their first encounter all season – knowing only a win would be enough to reach the play-offs.

    Virat Kohli scored a sublime century off 60 balls and survived the whole innings to make 101. An opening partnership with Faf du Plessis notched up 50 from the first five overs.

    Despite Kohli’s 13 fours Bangalore lost five wickets in reaching 197 and the Titans reached the target with five balls to spare, largely due to Gill’s exploits.

    The 23-year-old India batter hit eight sixes and five fours, while Vijay Shankar contributed 53 for Gujarat, who had already reached the play-offs.

    What is the IPL play-off schedule?

    There are four games in the IPL play-offs, with the first on Tuesday, May 23.

    That will see Gujarat Titans, as the group-stage winners, facing runners-up Chennai Super Kings in Qualifier 1. The winner of that game will go into the final on Sunday, May 28.

    Wednesday will see third-placed Lucknow Super Giants take on five-time champions Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator, with the loser going out.

    The winner of the Eliminator will then face the loser of Qualifier 1 on Friday in Qualifier 2.

    Whoever wins that will face the winner of Qualifier 1 in the final on Sunday. (BBC Sport)

  • Teen allegedly kills cousin who slapped him for insulting his uncle

    Teen allegedly kills cousin who slapped him for insulting his uncle

    A 19-year-old is in Police custody for the murder of his cousin, a fisherman identified as Seeram Krishna, a 35-year-old of ‘A’ Conservancy Dam, Canal #1, West Bank Demerara.

    The murder occurred at about 18:30 hrs on Saturday.

    A statement from Police Headquarters noted that Krishna and his cousin are also neighbours.

    It is alleged that Krishna and his uncle, a 59-year-old vendor, were imbibing when the teenager came home from work and joined them.

    The teen is accused of insulting his father at which point Krishna told him that he shouldn’t have said those insulting words.

    This led to a heated argument between the two and Krishna reportedly slapped his cousin which led to a scuffle.

    “The suspect ran to his home and returned with a cutlass, rushed up to Krishna and dealt him one chop to his left-side face. Krishna fell to the ground, and the suspect made good his escape,” the Police statement noted.

    A report was made to La Grange Police Station, and ranks responded to the scene.

    The teen, who went into hiding, subsequently surrendered to the Police. He remains in custody, assisting with the ongoing investigation.

  • Ali says acting on recommendation to name national facilities after former Presidents

    Ali says acting on recommendation to name national facilities after former Presidents

    He is expected to make a full announcement on his decision and the way forward at a later date.

    The former Presidents of Guyana are Arthur Chung, Forbes Burnham, Desmond Hoyte, Cheddi Jagan, Sam Hinds, Janet Jagan, Bharrat Jagdeo, Donald Ramotar and David Granger.

    And while four of those former Presidents are still alive, many believe not much was done to honour them.

    Guyana has a conference centre named after Arthur Chung, an airport after Cheddi Jagan, streets and other recreational facilities after Forbes Burnham and Desmond Hoyte.

    But as Ron articulates, more can be done and Dr. Ali has committed to doing just that.

  • ‘Much more than a condiment’ – DeSinco introduces all-purpose Swiss Mambo Sauce to Guyana

    ‘Much more than a condiment’ – DeSinco introduces all-purpose Swiss Mambo Sauce to Guyana

    By Kurt Campbell

    Kurt@newsroom.gy

     

    Thirty years in the distributing business, first as DeSinco Trading and now DeSinco Limited, the Guyanese founded company has long been supplying the Swiss brand of products to the local market.

    Guyanese are no doubt lovers of Swiss ketchup, but there is a new breakthrough and a must try pottage to hit the shelves of local supermarkets – the Mambo Sauce.

    This sweet and spicy sauce, made with a hint of tamarind, is being marketed as the perfect wingman for any dish.

    At a product launch on Saturday, Brand Manager, Shannon Savory had no difficulty explaining why the new product is different from the hundreds of condiments that already line supermarket shelves.

    “The answer is that Mambo Sauce is so much more than a condiment, it stands apart from anything else on the market in its combination of unique flavours, and its variety of uses.

    “Mambo is so much more than a dipping sauce, yes it is perfect for dipping your fried plantain or that perfectly crispy chicken wing but it adds that x-factor that takes your dish to the next level whether you’re grilling, marinating, stewing, seasoning or glazing,” she said.

    Mambo was inspired by a popular Washington D.C sauce but Swiss has taken that inspiration and added its own distinctly West Indian flavours, combining a unique blend of the ingredients that we know and love.

    Brand Manager Shannon Savory and Chief Executive Officer at DeSinco Ltd, Alicia De Abreau

    “Today is a very exciting day, it is the final step in a long journey of trial and error, stops and starts, breakthroughs and setbacks. The dedicated work of a range of individuals from the developers to the trade partners across the region brought us to this stage,” Savory added.

    The company remains a product distributor of the Swiss products, leading in several areas across the region.”

    So says Chief Executive Officer, Alicia Deabreu who noted that the Swiss brand is one of the longest brands with the company, spanning some two decades.

    “Guyanese love Swiss Ketchup, it has a sweet and tangy taste, and if you love Swiss Ketchup then you will love the mambo sauce. It’s a lover for everyone.

    “It’s the perfect sauce that goes with anything, from sushi to fish to cassava balls, you name it and you will mix it,” Deabreu said.

    The Swiss brand of products is a line of Pasta and Condiments manufactured by VEMCO – with its 60 year old heritage of producing quality foods for the local and regional markets.

    Gov’t reviews progress on UN’s Sustainable Development Goals with hinterland residents

    Senior Finance Minister Dr. Ashni K. Singh and the Ministry of Finance Saturday (in conjunction with the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs and Governance and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation) hosted a Hinterland Stakeholder Consultation on the Presentation of Guyana’s second Voluntary National Review (VNR) of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in St. Ignatius Village, Lethem, Region Nine. There, 24 Village Leaders and approximately 150 persons were able to meet and review Guyana’s progress in effecting its Sustainable Development Agenda.

    The VNR allows for the input of all stakeholders including persons in riverain and hinterland communities and today’s consultation saw presentations made by various sectors. It allowed for discussion on the current position in terms of objectives and perspectives looking ahead while also presenting an opportunity for interaction with the wide cross section of stakeholder groups in attendance as they examined mainly five of the SDGs, namely Goal 6 – Potable Water, Water Sanitation and Harvesting Water, Goal 7 – Renewable Energy and Access to Energy, Goal 9 – Infrastructure Industry and Innovation, Goal 11 – Cities and Municipalities, Housing, Disaster Risk Management and Preparedness and Goal 17-Means and Implementation of the SDGs.

    The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development outlines a transformative vision for economic, social and environmental development. Government has continuously reaffirmed its commitment to advancing implementation the Agenda, aimed at achieving the SDGs, despite the challenging global economic context. Under the leadership of His Excellency Mohamed Irfaan Ali, the current administration has been, as mandated preparing its review with focus placed on five of the SDGs in preparation for the upcoming SDG Summit to be held in September 2023. At that Summit many more countries from around the world currently conducting reviews of their implementation as well, will also be reporting on their progress in keeping with the United Nations resolution.

    Addressing those gathered today for discussion, Senior Finance Minister Dr. Ashni Singh said the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) Government led by President Ali, is people-centered and people-driven as he noted that the engagement is not to be seen as an isolated activity but one in   which Government prides itself in terms of its consultative approach to governance. Minister Singh also highlighted the key interventions made by Government in various sectors in pursuit of the achievement of the SDG goals.

    Minister of Amerindian Affairs Pauline Sukhai who also addressed the gathering said Guyana is the only country in the world where whenever there are new issues on the table that Government brings the people together to sit down, inform and discuss as well as garner their contributions and have them participate in the process.

    Meanwhile, Minister of Public Works Bishop Juan Edghill told participants that the presence of the Government Ministers was not due to the absence of other engagements at this time but is a clear symbol of the priorities of the Irfaan-Ali led Administration and how it engages the Indigenous people.

    During the engagement, persons in attendance were able to seek answers. At the same time, the forum also sought to provide an opportunity for active discussion on longstanding challenges and the country’s vulnerability in terms of fighting climate change as well as external shocks.
