Its 6:45am, I am struggling to talk to God. I am cramping, it is not helping my cause. I whisper a silent prayer and open my phone to get to my Bible app but I end up on Facebook, and as I scroll through it, I find a post by a ’friend’ (we all know Facebook lies about this friendship thing) complaining about the Desire Luzinda’s Faco video advert on his wall.
