Post Thoughts

24Nov08

Istanbul wasn’t a holiday for me. I thought it was, to just get out of the cold weather of England. First two days we went around seeing some of the sights in the city, although unfortunately it was spitting rain intermittently and we rather stayed in most of the times.
The reason we decided to go [...]


We have been having devotionals at our place for four weeks in a row now.
