*WHEN YOU WHERE THERE*
Episode 21
   Felix quietly went on his kneels and prayed;
Sweet Holy Spirit,
I need You now more than ever before,
Mona is mine and am not letting her go,
She's Your daughter and am Your son,
Daddy please speak to her,
My words are failing me,
She listens to You, so please help me talk to her,
And Daddy, don't forget to tell her that I love her very much,
I love You Lord.
Felix said and sat on the floor.

    Mona got home and The Lord had already started working on her.

  She laid on her bed.
Lord, I love him too,
But how can I tell him about my past?
And that I don't even know the father of my baby,?
He is Your son,
Please Lord, touch his heart to accept my past when I tell him.
Mona prayed silently.

   The Holy Spirit witness in her spirit that Felix is the one for her.

   Felix had already gotten that witness long ago.

   Call her, The Holy Spirit prompted Felix.

   He'll call you,
The Lord told Mona.

   Ah! Daddy!
Please not now,
Mona objected but her phone was already ringing.

    I can't believe this!
She exclaimed and smiled.

Hello,
Mona said, picking up the call.

   Are you home?
Felix asked.

   Yes,
Mona said and was silent.

   Oh, OK,
I was just checking on you,
Just wanted to know if you arrived safe.
Felix fearfully said.

   Really?
Mona asked, smiling.

 Eehmm, yea,
Felix stammered.
And I also want to tell you that... That,... That I love you and I mean every word I told you earlier today.
Felix said with all confident left.

   You said you are leaving next weekend,
Mona diverted.

    Yes,
On Friday to be precise.
Felix said.

   OK,
I'll see you before you leave right?
Mona asked even though she already knows what his response will be.

   Tomorrow is Saturday,
Felix said, smiling and feeling relieve.

   Really?
Thanks for the information,
Mona joked and they both laughed.

   Will you come over? Are we seeing?
Felix asked.

    No!
You come.
Mona said.

   No please,
My place is more convenient.
Felix insist.

   OK,
Time.
Mona asked.

   5:am,
Felix joked.

Mona laughed.

  I'll see you by 11:am she said.

No,
That's too late,
7:am Felix said.

   Are we bargaining?
Mona asked and they both laughed.

   OK,
9:am I'll be there,
Mona said.

   8:am Felix insist.

   OK,
I'll try.
Mona said and they ended the call.

Felix laid down smiling.
And Mona went on her knees to pray.


*On Saturday morning*
It's Saturday morning and Felix was set to receive Mona.

   Mona woke up early, bath golden and prepared her breakfast, then handed her over to Patricia and took off to Felix's place.

   Felix is so time conscious and Mona knows that.

   So by 8:34, Mona was at Felix's door.

  Mona knocked and Felix opened the door almost immediately.

  Good morning,
Felix said smiling.

   Good morning Sir,
Mona responded, holding her both hands together in her front.

   Come in please.
Felix said.

   She came in and stood for a while, expecting a huge from Felix but Felix was too confused to remember to hug her.

   No hug?
Mona asked, raising her shoulders up and smiling.

   Felix drew her close without saying a word and gave her a passionate hug.
Mona thought she was going to melt in Felix's embrace.

   Sit please,
Felix said and gently released her from his arms.

   Mona sat and Felix excused himself into his room to pray;
Lord,
She's here again,
And I've exhausted all my words,
Great Rabbi, teach me what to say.
 
    Felix said and quickly looked at himself in the mirror,  giving himself a thorough examination, he came out.

   Have you had breakfast?
Mona asked.

No,
Am fasting.
Felix said, sitting next to her and looking at her hair.

   Mona smiled.
She knew why he is fasting so no need to ask.

   Am sorry about yesterday.
Mona apologized.

  Felix just nodded.

 I got your message,
Mona said and smiled.

 Felix was confuse.
What message?
He thought.

   The one you sent The Lord to deliver.
Mona continued and laughed.

   Felix was embarrassed.
I can't believe I asked The Lord to woo a woman for me, he said shyly and smiled.

   He is doing a great job.
Mona said and laughed.

   Thank you Lord,
Felix whispered.

   But Felix, there's something I need to tell you,
   Something you need to know about me,
  After that, you can propose again if you still want to go on with your decision.
Mona said and paused.

   There's nothing I need to know Mona,
I already know all I have to know and nothing will change my decision about you.
Felix said confidently.

   Mona was scared.
Lord, did you tell him?
She thought within herself.

   The Lord didn't tell me anything,
Felix interrupted her thought.
Your secrets are safe with Him,
He is not a gossip.
Felix said smiling.

   How did you know what I was thinking?
Mona asked with much amazement.

   You forget am a believer?
And we have the same Spirit in us?
Felix said, pushing his head forward to meet her eyes.

Mona sighed for relieve.

  So?
Felix said, expecting a respond from Mona.

So what?
Mona asked blushing.


 Will you marry me?
Felix asked again.

   Say yes,
The Lord prompted Mona.

  She was blushing seriously, smiling and using her right hand to cover her face.

   Go on her knees to propose, be a gentle man,
She said, smiling.

   Felix giggled and went on his kneels,
Will you marry me?
He asked again.


   Felix's eyes and ears where wide open .
He couldn't wait any longer.

  Yes!
I will marry you.
Mona said laughing and bowed her head.

Yeeeesssss!!!!
Felix screamed and rolled on the floor, screaming and laughing.

   Mona sat laughing as she watched him display.

Thank You Lord!
Thank You Lord!! Felix said and sat down, smiling with great great joy.

   Thank You Lord.
Mona whispered.

  Felix took Mona's hand.
Thank you, for finding me worthy to bear my name.
He said and kissed her hands.

   I love you,
Mona softly responded and this made Felix so happy.

   I love you best!
Felix screamed and got her up.

   They hugged each other for so long.

You are my consolation,
Felix whispered, holding Mona in his embrace.

No,
You are mine,
Mona objected and Felix pecked her on her chin.

.....To be continued.

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant

De-starching the Leaves of a Plant 'De-starch (or Destarch) the leaves of a potted plant' is one of the preliminary steps in a  photosynthesis experiment . Biology students often ask the following questions about de-starching. What is  the definition of de-starching? Why it is necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? What happens to the starch stores when the potted plant is deprived of light or carbon dioxide? How to de-starch the leaves of a plant? What is the definition of de-starching? De-starching is the process by which the starch reserves in a plant are depleted by depriving the plant of either light or carbon dioxide.  Why is it necessary to de-starch the leaves of a plant before conducting photosynthesis experiments? We test for the presence  of starch  in leaves in order to determine that photosynthesis has occurred. Glucose -  the product of photosynthe

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils

Ethanol Emulsion Test for Fats and Oils The  Ethanol Emulsion Test  is a  food test  which determines the presence of a broad group of naturally occurring compounds known as  lipids . Lipids consist of  fats  and  oils . Other lipid tests include the  Grease Spot Test  and the  Sudan Stain Test . The Grease spot test is performed on fats - lipids which are solid at room temperature. Sudan stain colours lipids red, but is a less common bench reagent than ethanol. The Ethanol Emulsion Test is the most common test amongst the three. Procedure Solid sample  Crush  the food sample and place in a dry test tube. Add ethanol  to about 2 cm3 above the level of the sample and shake thoroughly. Allow the solid to  settle  (about 3 min) to allow the lipid to be extracted. Decant  the ethanol into another test tube. Add 2 cm3 of  deionized water  to the second test tube Make observations. Liquid sample Add a  few drops  of the liquid food sample to a dry te
