It’s amazing how much different things can feel depending on your perspective. Things that feel huge today can seem so small in retrospect. Time gone by can serve as that perspective-changer…but an important part of life is learning how to live with a proper perspective on TODAY. How do we deal with the perceptions and … More Perception & the Truth
Yesterday, we met with the church here in Konomala for our regular time to study the scripture for the week.

There are a couple of old school wooden rollercoasters there that must have been devised by chiropractors in order to assault people’s spines and drum up more business.
