Have you ever met someone who seemed to shine with happiness but later found out that deep down, they aren’t happy at all? We often see this with celebrities. This is because the source of their joy is artificial and temporary. Proverbs likens this to a lamp, which in Bible time would have been a… Continue reading Pro 13v9 – The light or the lamp?
We need to get a replacement car for our car that drowned in a recent flood. The process of finding a car is so difficult. There are so many options from makes of cars to models to years, and all this within a limited budget – not to mention all the scammers.
