I recently stayed in this incredible, unique stay; everything about it was perfect. Best of all, it was far from any civilisation and completely immersed in God’s nature. However, there was one issue: the water from the taps was borehole water, and it tasted like we were drinking salty soup. It left us thirsty and… Continue reading Joh 14v13-14 – Sweet water
