God’s in Control

Plans for 2008

For me, 2008 is going to be very different. In late November last year, I was invited to go and work at the IBLP Headquarters, the same place Robert has been for the past year. I was there most of December for sort of a trial period to see if this was something I really […]

Even I was impressed with the beautiful Christmas […]

A Merry Christmas
