  • Rethinking vaccination: Fear vs Trust

  • They say pressure makes diamonds…

    We have all been there. That moment when it all seems too hard and we throw our hands up in despair. The moment we feel so much pressure on every side that we just want to scream, ‘it’s not fair God!’ and walk away. We beg God to let up, to change something, to bring breakthrough.
