Make My Saturday Sweet - Blog Hop #34

At the time, I believed I was being led by God, but I was left wondering what to do next. Then last week I got a phone...

He is passionate about sport, specifically waterpolo and rugby, and has coached waterpolo at national level. His other passion is to enthuse children about reading, particularly as many seem to lose interest...
