There is an alarming rise in domestic violence as partners suddenly realise that their sense of smell has returned, […]

Even God can get the distance wrong sometimes

I have recently felt that God was perhaps attempting to make an early declaration on my behalf, over a distance, I consider way too short.

That’s your donation that did that. Thank You.
