Read More Who’s Coming 4 Dinner? The Second GuestAhhhhh the challenge of who to invite for dinner. Not long ago I set myself the task of choosing four guests that I would invite for dinner.

Read More Who’s Coming 4 Dinner? The First GuestA friend loves all times and a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17 Recently this verse has been emphasised and reinforced.
