    Should I use a smartphone or not?

    I forgot to post one of the important reasons to have the iPhone. My brother has severe autism and lives in a care center and they let me FaceTime video call him to the iPad in the care center. Sometimes my brother lays in bed all day and to encourage him to get out of bed, I could FaceTime...

    Questions about fasting

    Are you saying that I could succeed with water only and no juice for 20-40 days? I'm thinking I need juice to have enough strength at work.
