Why Do We Need to Take Care of Our Body?
Have you ever felt so tired, just wanting to rest but you could not because of the load that you have? Work. Church ministries. Family matters. Personal concerns.

4 Ways to Declutter Our Spiritual Life
One of the things that I hate the most is to go into details especially when sorting documents and papers and other stuff, deciding which ones should be kept and which ones are to be thrown away.
