The contents of the little book were even more interesting- it was, rather than the expected recipe book or a personal diary, it was something even more fascinating, a log. It was a meticulously kept list…
As the years pass, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018– and now 2019!! I have begun to realise the reality that this world is not my home. The saying “I’m just passing through” really hits home… I feel now more than ever the calling that I have been given to reveal the endless love of God to…
