Paul Ruthford Not everyday, but the Bible is the ultimate guide in all situations actually. When I read it, I try to suck in all the information I can and apply it in real life. Also, when times are tough, I always read the Bible. Even seemingly random chapters can make...

Paul Ruthford Hong Kong? Wow that's fascinating! Now I do love travelling by boat anywhere. It could be the nearest lake and I'd still be excited. I was on a similar trip like you described, only in Australia. Back when I was in Canberra. I also visited Sydney and one...

So, when you're finally ready to relax, where will you go? Will you go to an exotic location or stay at home and just spend a little time with your friends?
