  • I really, really don’t want to blog because I have nothing good to say.
    Yesterday, I was busy editing the video of a unity prayer we had in church last week. Unity as in Christians united. You see, we Christians come from different denominations. Yes, we worship only one God. [...]

    Rest in peace, [...]
