The Diary Game Season 3 [ Sunday May 25th, 2025 ] My Sunday Routine: From the Field to the Clubhouse.

Greetings Steemit friends

Yeah, we can’t stop on Sunday. It is one of those days of the week when I truly enjoy some relaxing moments. This is one of the days I personally, and many others too, would rather not get involved in any formal activities. Sunday is also the day when Christians go to church for services, to worship, and to thank the Lord.

When it comes to religious beliefs, I have my reservations. I think these beliefs often cloud how many people see things. Especially within African communities that have embraced religion very deeply. Most of the prolonged wars in the world are religious wars. All these religions preach love, yet they struggle to love each other. They talk about the same deity, but they are not willing to share even basic moral values.

It becomes confusing at times. We are all supposedly praying to the same deity. But Africans have chosen faith over facts. There are some things you just can not change those are facts. For example, we all know why we have sunlight during the day and darkness at night. You can not pray for daylight to suddenly turn into darkness, that is a fixed natural law. It gets even more confusing when people claim prayer can change everything.

Well, I have my reservations about religion and hope to get more clarity someday. The West brought religion to us, our forefathers embraced it, and now it is being imposed on us. These so called miracles in the Bible are now being "reproduced" in Africa. Like the case of someone being raised from the dead a few years ago. These are things we have neither seen nor heard of from those who introduced the religion. Are we now more committed to it than the people who brought it to us? Just thinking out loud.

Anyway, it is another Sunday. Last Sunday I stayed home. I did not go out for my usual Sunday morning sport. In my community, which is predominantly Christian, most people go to church. But I decided to head out for sports. I jumped out of bed, mopped the floor, had my breakfast, and left for my workplace.

I arrived at the office to put things in order for our game after the general sports session. While waiting for my colleagues (who would join me for the field activities), we had some lemongrass tea together before heading out.

Today, one of the club members was celebrating his birth month, and the game was dedicated to him. Once I got to the field, I changed into my sports attire and got ready for the warm-up. Just like every other Sunday, we began with light warm-up exercises. It was not too intense, and we started early to avoid playing in the rain.

After the match, it started raining, so we moved quickly to the clubhouse to continue the celebration. There is always a lot of fun and entertainment on such days at the club. I was so hungry that I only remembered to take a photo of my plate after I had finished eating. I had a plate of fufu corn with bitter-leaf soup and goat meat.

I’m not very friendly with alcohol, so I went with a sweet drink while chatting with the others. Most of our conversations were about football. The final day of the Premier League season was happening at the same time. A lot of the matches did not go my way, but thankfully, my team won. I was only worried about Nottingham Forest possibly losing their chance for a Champions League spot.

By evening, I did not wait for my colleagues. I left and rushed home to take a bath and relax. After my bath, dinner was ready. I had dinner with my son while watching the movie Now You See Me 2. It’s a film full of clever tricks and illusions.

After the movie, I had a quick chat with my younger brother and then decided to log into Steemit. I prepared this post before logging into the community account to perform my duties as an Admin. By that time, it was already late, and everyone had gone to bed. So, I ended my day and got myself some rest.
