Many of us are busy the moment we wake up. Kids are crying, dog needs to be let out, news catch up on, emails to read and delete. The list goes on. So I decided to have a podcast for those who can’t afford much time but a few mins to listen when they are busy, the word of God and prayer in the same word that is read. May you press on into the Lord even in the busyness of life.
