WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD

There is something wonderful about Niagara Falls, and it’s no wonder that my wife and I love this place. Something so spectacular that only God can explain why He created something so magnificent and marvelous. We live in a wonderful world with breathtaking natural landscapes. This leads me to question, why does humanity spend 99% of the time trying to destroy it? – One day, I hope that we will…

My Top Read of the Year

This year has been quite tough; I read very little, at least non-technical books, as I was taking a course, which occupied much of my free time. It was an atypical year, but productive in that regard. Despite that, I managed to read a few but good books, with Barack Obama’s ‘The Promised Land’ being a standout.

And guess what? – This trip was on my…
