I began my journey from Belize to Dallas and then Dallas to Albuquerque on May 30th. But God had other plans for me on the second half of the trip. To make a LONG story short, there were four gate changes and seven time changes […]
Dr. Google Says
Am the only one who takes time to Google my symptoms? Today, I experienced feeling warm, dizzy, and exhausted. I was uncertain whether it was due to heat exhaustion or dehydration. To put my mind at ease, I decided to see what Dr. Google says. […]
