Day 14 – Keep up the communication – Say Jambo
Did you know Alexander Graham Bell was originally Scottish, not American? He was born in Scotland in 1847. I’ve often said the telephone is my favourite invention of all time. Thank you Mr Bell (and Whatsapp) that I can continue to communicate with Angella almost daily while she is on the other side of the world.
Communication in marriage is the key. That’s what my Say Jambo song is all about. Much credit goes to Ayatta and Absalom for their amazing recording (current lyrics below) https://youtu.be/ZrzmGykEeMM

Chorus
Say ‘Jambo’ in the traffic jam
Say ‘Jambo’ in traffic jam
Now you got time on your hands
Say ‘Jambo’ to wife in the jam. (Only include ‘to wife’ in first chorus)
Know your wife in traffic jam
Find out her middle name
Ask her her favourite colour
Check if her hair has changed.
Share with your wife in traffic jam
Give her your full attention
Tell her you got a new job - last year!
And other things you failed to mention.
Chorus
Listen to your wife in traffic jam
She got many good things to say
Maybe the car need new tyre
It could even be her birthday.
Discuss your children in traffic jam
Find out where they go to school
Check if they’re living for Jesus
In case you have been fooled.
Chorus
(male voice)
I talked to my wife once in traffic jam
Cos my sound system wasn’t workin
And it’s wrong to drive holding i-phone
She seems a very nice person
Check your wife’s smile in traffic jam
Smile at her with your teeth
Find out whether she’s happy
how she’s feelin underneath.
Chorus
Your wife may be on the edge of leaving
Because she’s been ignored
Thank God for the terrible traffic jam
That your marriage may be restored.
Toot if you’re in love again
Shout out her middle name
Rejoice! Someone actually likes you
Give praise in Jesus name.
