They often mention how they are constantly judged by tabloid journalism about their weight, look, who they are dating, and just about every aspect of their lives. As people reflected on the spiraling train ...read more

Since it’s really important that all of us recognize that tendency in our lives in order to make a proper application ...read more

    Dos And Don'ts Of Salvation

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2021
     | 3,114 views

    In recent years something new has appeared on many high streets: defibrillators. Defibrillators can be life-savers if someone suffers a heart attack. They aren’t only on high streets, of course. I like to do ‘Park Run’ (when it’s happening!) and lots of Park Runs have defibrillators. You often ...read more
