There’s a taste I get in my mouth sometimes. Especially when I wake up having had a nap or been asleep. It’s not a pleasant taste in the mouth. So I’ve really appreciated the freshness of my breath when I brush my teeth and gargle it with water. I would even recommend some decent mouthwashes […]
Read More Streams … for RefreshingRecently I reflected on what has informed my worldview. In my childhood I asked a lot of questions and usually those questions began with the word ‘why’.

Read More Streams … For GrowthAmong other themes that captured my interest was the theme of streams. A group of us were considering how the theme of water is prevalent throughout scripture.
