So there was some publicity on breastfeeding over the local media : Woman breastfeeds baby at Raffles Place to take stand against workplace discrimination The topic is a noble one to take up for sure but because of the provocative styling of the photos, it is only expected that there will be supporters and detractors to […] Read more…
At a recent conference Henson and I attended recently, one of the speakers was described as being a little off because he was totally sold out for Jesus and His chosen people, the Jews.
