The Timely Text
It wasn't the grandest of gestures from a friend. It didn't involve flowers or an extravagant gift. It wasn't a voucher for a spa treatment.

Cap on head and carrying a vintage brown briefcase. He could have stepped out of the 1960s due… Continue reading The Dapper Man
Sacred Moments
We all have moments in life when the Kingdom of God feels so real you could almost touch it. Moments of such significance, it's as if they are engraved on your heart. When you feel Heaven’s touch - at the Wedding, the birth of a child, the Baptism. Other significant times – an answered prayer over a… Continue reading Sacred Moments
