Weightlifting and the Christian life

Busy
When you ask someone “how are you?” One of the most common words that will appear in their response is ‘busy’. We live in a world where it’s all go, go, go. Emails are on our phone and no longer tied to a desktop in the office. Our mobiles are constantly connecting us with theContinue reading “Busy”
