| CHUCKLE An elderly couple had just learned how to send text messages on their cellphones. The wife was a romantic type and the husband was more of a no-nonsense guy. One afternoon the wife went out to meet a friend for coffee. She decided to send her husband a romantic text message so she wrote: "If you are sleeping, send me your dreams. If you are laughing, send me your smile. If you are eating, send me a bite. If you are drinking, send me a sip. If you are crying, send me your tears. I love you." The husband texted back to her: "I'm on the toilet. Please advise."

| HEUNINGDRUPPE “Ek het ’n skietgebed opgestuur na die God LSvan die hemel ...” (Neh. 2:4) Soos ’n pyl uit ’n boog, soos ’n skoot wat afvuur, in ’n nano sekonde, terwyl hy met sy dagtaak as skinker van die koning besig is, stuur Nehemia ’n gebed na die Here toe. Ons weet nie wat die woorde van die gebed was nie, dalk iets soos: Here, help. Here, wat moet ek sê? Here, laat u guns op hierdie saak wees. Here, maak die koning se hart sag. Here, gee vir my moed. Ek weet wat die inhoud van my vele skietgebede is. Here, wat nou? Here, watter kant toe? Here, gee geduld. Here, doen ek die regte ding? Here, gee krag. Here, wat moet ek kies? Soms is dit skietgebede van dankbaarheid of verligting of eer aan die Here. Baie van daai skietgebede (en dalk Nehemia s’n ook), het nie eers woorde nie, dis net ’n gedagte of ’n sug, of ’n asem ophou, of ’n sekonde se afsluit van die dinge om my. Dis darem maar wonderlik om te weet die Here is elke sekonde van die dag, oral by en in my sodat ek op só ’n manier met Hom kan praat. As ek in Nehemia lees, sien ek dat voor hierdie skietgebed-dag, het Nehemia dae lank gehuil en getreur en gevas en lank met die Here gepraat (lees die gebed in Neh. 1: 4-11). Hy het sy en sy gesin en sy volk se sondes bely, hy het die Here herinner aan sy belofte wat hy met hulle gemaak het. Hy het gesmeek en gepleit. Hy het vir God se guns gevra. Hy het die Here se Naam groot gemaak en sy lof besing. En dís wat ek vandag by Nehemia wil leer: my gebedslewe en my gesprekke met die Here kan nie nét uit skietgebede bestaan nie. Die skietgebed moet ’n uitvloeisel wees van lang tye op my knieë, van innige gebede, van die Woord oordink, van lofliedere sing, van selfondersoek doen en van nuwe voornemens maak. As ek só ingestel is, só verbind, só gevul is met die Here, dan kan die skietgebede afgevuur word! ~ Wilna Botha

Social grants to be paid on earlier from April NATIONAL | SASSA MEDIA RELEASE
From April, social grants excluding the R350 Social Relief of Distress grant will be paid from the second day of the month.

From April, social grants will be paid from the second day of the month. If the second day of the month falls on a weekend or public holiday, the payment will take place on the following working day. As usual, the older persons and linked grants will be NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY RESPONSE paid first, followed by the disability grant the next day and then the child grant,” said the agency. The date CELL PHONE EMERGENCY changes come days after the R350 social relief of distress grant pilot project was extended to include Shoprite, AMBULANCE RESPONSE Checkers, Usave and OK Foods. Last week the Shoprite Group announced beneficiaries can collect their payments

Kassie het geglo sy speurderdae is getel ná die Medusapedofielsaak, en sy hartaanval. Maar ses maande tuis bring perspektief – hy is ’n speurder in murg en been. Terug by die Spookeenheid word hy en kollega Rooi Els dadelik by die diep kant ingegooi: Hulle moet ’n reeksverkragter vastrek – een wat sy slagoffers met ’n brandyster merk. 'Is die skuldige die man wat beskryf word as “’n weerwolf met die sperm van ’n wildehond”? Of lê die antwoord by die spesifieke merk wat hy op sy slagoffers laat?

Week 2 Dit gaan nie goed met Caren Pieterse nie. Die pille lê weer die vloer vol en die pyn skiet deur haar lyf. Sy is al so gatvol vir die trane en pyn. Sy gaan sit op die bad se rand en sug. Die kinders is binnekort hier en die huis moet nog netjies gemaak word. Sy sak neer op die vloer en begin die pille een vir een optel... Terwyl die Nissan Hardbody by die plaaspad indraai luister Johan Pieterse met 'n halwe oor na wat sy dogter sê alwetend 'n herhaling sal binnekort volg sodra die by die huis is. In die spieëltjie gewaar hy sy seun se bekommerde frons en wonder wat nou fout is. Dis dalk liefde, of skool of die feit dat hy die Hoofseun is. Johan glimlag, sy dogter glimlag en straal by haar nuwe skool. Hy is bly sy is gelukkig. Dit maak die skelm kyke en geskinder in die dorp oor jy ook nou een van daai is wat sy kind nie na die plaaslike Hoërskool toe stuur nie is. God het Zani 'n talent vir hokkie gegee, Dirk speel rugby en beide beurse het dit finansieël baie beter by die huis gemaak. Te hel met die wat hom nou beskinder. Dis in sy kinders se belang... Dirk was glad nie gelukkig dat sy sus nou saam in dieselfde skool is nie. Dit complicate dinge vir hom. Miskien moet hy net met alles uitkom. Whatever hy sal maar net om sus te werk moet gaan en wanneer die tyd reg is sal hy die nuus deel. Nie nou nie. Nie nou nie. Zani sou eerder in die Koshuis wou wees en vanaand iewers saam met Paul-Ryk die liggies wou gaan kyk. Dis al wat sleg is as jou ou in 'n ander dorp bly. Wel, sy vertrou hom 100%. Hy sal tog nie op haar cheat nie, soos wat hy met haar op Belinda gecheat het nie? Hy't so ver nog alles gekry wat hy by haar wou hê. Sy weet darem hoe om haar man gelukkig te hou...
Lees volgende week verder. Wat dink jy is die nuus wat Dirk nie wil deel nie? WhatsApp ons by 060 405 8979
