JESUS! THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD
JESUS! THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD As the daughter of an Architect, I have seen firsthand the use of natural light in residential abodes and I have benefitted immensely from its impact. Aside from the fact that natural light has been known to help people be healthier and calmer, it has been observed that productivity levels increase and people are happier

STAYING HEALTHY I have never enjoyed taking medication. And I am so grateful for the blessing of divine health. Yet as we advance in age we cannot but wonder how long it will be before we start to depend on medication.
