Cricket isn’t the only tough game; the Olympics, Para Olympics, Tennis, Golf, etc., are equally tough. It might just be over-hyped.'

Me: 'Okay, but why are you so obsessed with comparing these exams? What are you comparing them on?'

What does it mean to you to live a life that reflects biblical values?
