These Simple Things
Ever heard the phrase “what will Jesus do?”- Now don’t stop reading Biko, I’m not about to say something cliche’ So guys, the first time I heard this phrase was when I was in teenage church. The woman from whose mouth the phrase spewed out made us write it in our notes. She stood afar […]
