“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” Luke 11:13
Ask him. More fruit. More gifts. More power.
Forty years ago today, I received the first of three patents for my invention, the Diaper Deck—the world’s first wall-mounted commercial infant changing table designed for public restrooms.
McDonald’s, Sears, and state highway rest stops were among the first to install them. Renee, our son Matthew, and our friends’ baby daughter, Emily Ekbom, became the very first models featured in the Diaper Deck brochure.
What began as an idea to make life a little easier and safer for parents eventually became the first patented commercial infant changing table and helped pave the way for what is now federally required in public restrooms across America.
Looking back after 40 years, it’s amazing to see how one simple idea can grow into something that touches the lives of millions of families.
For the first time,
Kenya has introduced a brand new tax for rich men's toys.
Vintage, antique, classic cars can now be imported into Kenya.
For these cars to qualify for importation, they must meet 2 conditions:
- Be at least 30 years old from the date of first registration.
- Be worth at least Ksh 10 million before depreciation.
How will they be taxed?
- They will attract 50% Excise tax, in addition to import duty, VAT and other applicable taxes.
For example
Suppose you import an old Rolls Royce or classic Mercedes Benz valued at Ksh 20 million.
KRA shall first congratulate you. Then ask for Ksh 10 million in Excise tax.
Kenya has now positioned itself as a destination for classic car collectors, exhibitions and motor tourism.

Which toy are you eyeing?
You know what shook me when I was Muslim?
Psalm 22. A song written by King David a thousand years before Jesus.
It opens: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” The exact words Jesus cried from the cross.
But it keeps going, and it describes a scene David never lived:
“They have pierced my hands and my feet.”
“All my bones are out of joint.”
“I can count all my bones — people stare and gloat over me.”
“They divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.”
David was never crucified. Crucifixion didn’t even exist in David’s time. It wouldn’t be invented for centuries.
So how does a man describe death by piercing hands and feet, and soldiers gambling for his clothes, a thousand years before it happened to Jesus exactly as written?
You know what really rattled me?
This was a photograph taken a thousand years early.
Pierced hands and feet. Gambling for the garments. Mocking crowds. Bones out of joint from hanging.
Every detail, at the foot of the cross, fulfilled.
Islam told me to doubt the crucifixion.
David described it in HD ten centuries before it happened.
You can’t erase an event that was prophesied in that much detail.
