Turning down the volume of the world to listen to the whispers of God… When my country went into a partial lockdown to contain the pandemic in mid-March, I entered into a season a rest. I was in the state of near exhaustion at the time after I mercilessly drove myself hard into my new…
To stay at home for one whole month and practise social distancing is something unfamiliar and absolutely unprecedented for almost all of us. The Movement Control Order in our country was enforced from 18 March 2020 and has since been extended from two weeks to one month until 14 April 2020. Today is the 19th…
