My twin brother is grown up. That's what they call him now. In the last seven days, I have heard five different people say that. Not a big deal - this twin brother is my son! I found myself in a town called College station in Texas for 3 days for freshman (newcomers) conference of the Texas A and M with my son as he moves to the next phase of his life.  Where I came from, we call them Jambites after the name of the exam used to enter colleges. It turned out that it was not only him that had things to learn - I learnt a lot of things I will like to share about my going back to school:
PICTURE IN FRONT OF THE AGGIES RING
1. TRULY! I AM OLDER NOW!

The reality dawned on me. I am older now – way older. Forget about the Levi denim jeans and sports canvass shoes we are both wearing. That’s where the similarity ends! I am not that 5-10km walking school boy of almost 30 years ago. The last time I ministered at IVCU in Ibadan and in most singles meetings these days and I see the way they call me Daddy, I finally give up on trying to be a young man forever. Two of our friend’s children were in that IVCU meeting! Whether I like it or not the conveyor belt is moving. Soon we will be talking about marriages. Psalm 90:12- Teach us how short our life is, so that we may become wise.
