Tap That!

Look at the godless nations and watch, and be utterly amazed. Look long and hard. Brace yourselves for a shock. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told. Habakkuk 1:5 We are walking down the streets of Chaing Mai. I see a woman glance up from doing her laundry in a bucket of murky water with her baby strapped to her back.
