Pools were a welcomed escape as well as a fun way to spend time with friends. One man decided he was tired of his bare backyard. He wanted a pool but wasn’t about to shovel out big money for one. He decided he could dig his own little pond. It didn’t take a crazy amount of skills either. Just material and ingenuity. See how he did it…

In a recent press conference, former referee and now chairman of FIFA’s referees committee, Pierluigi Collina said that VAR at the Russia 2018 World Cup was “very close to perfection”. He was referring to the 99.3% accuracy rate the video assistant referee system has had so far in the tournament.

Where problem arises is when the political leaders are short of the most important requirement of leadership, but makes frantic effort to compensate all that  with…

One of the things that we know about ministry is that it is the pursuit of God’s purpose on the earth.
