Book distribution is sometimes like meeting old friends
The other day I had time between services to go out.

Taking note of the peoples opinion and curious of their concerns, the Lord surveyed the scene. I too like to people watch, walk and talk, stroll and drop. When conversations call my attention I swoop in ready to...
Fisher’s Ghost Festival in Sydney and the icing on the cake
