There Goes Uncle Max!

I am still reeling from the sudden passing on of my uncle Maxwell Mlenga who departed on 13 October 2012.  A week before Uncle Max's  demise I was in his office as he updated me on his recent missions trip to Pittsburgh the US.  The usual encouragement he had for me (on 3 September) proved to be his last. I will especially cherish Uncle Maxwell's role in trying to get  the best out of me in my career and other areas. I took him like a dad; always trembling to face him when I had messed up. Indeed since my father passed on 13 years ago, Maxwell Mlenga, was the one I looked up to. 
I heard that he had been taken ill around 9am, and just five minutes from reaching the Blantyre Adventist Hospital, my brother called to say Uncle Maxwell was no more. What pain and trauma! 
Still,  I thank God for the years I had with my late uncle both in Malawi and Zimbabwe.
There goes a friendly, generous, kind, engaging, intelligent, hardworking, deeply philosophical and spiritual man. There goes Uncle Max!

PS:  Psalm 53:1 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God". Selah!

I was curious if you ever considered changing the
page layout of your website? Its very well written;
I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
Maybe you could space it out better?

Hi there would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm
planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely
unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but
I had to ask!
