Christian Worship, privacy and social media (#deepimpact2012 pt2)

Solas2010 – Delightful
Filed in church, events, Family, friends, music, politics, theology, thinking, youthworksolas2010 was class you should have been there. great music, speakers, weather, activities, and fun for all the family. it was great to be a part of something like this. where sourcing affordable, local produce, sold at affordable prices, (£2 for an organic venison burger. nice!) was as important as getting the right band. Where [...]
