Having returned from the final evening celebration at the Get a Life conference I suppose these are a few notes on reflection
First and foremost, what a priviledge it was to be a delegate at this event, to receive the expert teaching, experience the uplifting worship and partake in the group discussions
What a breath of fresh [...]
