Mr. @FrankGashumba questioned pastors, not Jesus's power.
I admire his courage to say publicly what many of us discuss privately but hesitate to say openly. He is a voice of our national conscience.
You can love God, respect the Church, and still question its leaders. Someone tell me this: since when have pastors become above questioning?

Teachers’ degrees fail to unlock better pay
Teachers who upgraded from diploma to university qualifications remain on lower salary scales, prompting renewed calls for the Government to introduce a career-progression scheme that recognises their academic advancement. “It is painful that the Government, which wants teachers to have degrees as a minimum requirement, continues to pay me as a diploma holder,” Tugume said.

LET’S PRAY
Dear God, thank You for Your protection, love and unfailing grace. We pray that You will always go before us and walk with us. Clear every obstacle that stands in our way, make our paths straight, and lead us according to Your perfect plans. Sustain, strengthen and guide us through every season, according to Your great purpose for our lives. We place our trust in You, knowing that nothing is impossible with You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

This is how most of the coffee gardens in Masaka look like now. The trees flowered (for the big May season), and, due to the prolonged drought, all the flowers dried up with no berries formed. Many people in Masaka survive on coffee now, and they’ve heavily invested in fertilisers. Many gave up on matooke, which was only failing and failing despite care. We better get set for terrible hunger and other problems associated with sudden poverty.

The Brighton model should be a case study across the football world, not just in England. High turnover of players and managers, but team plays to largely same philosophy and retains it's distinct identity no matter who is out there. And not just that amazing scouting department, but the wholesome blueprint need curious scrutiny and adoption!
