Read More When I Remember What The Lord Has Done …What often triggers it is a visit to the school. There they all are in their uniform, diverse in shape, size, features and ethnicity though they are, they are all in a uniform and are expected to abide by the principles of the school.

Read More Expressing Grace: A Small InquiryThere’s a word that I hear often and it’s really annoying. That word is ‘lucky’. I know where people are coming from when they say it.
