Blue light flashes Woo-woo! Woo-woo! Woo-woo! …Blue lights once more flashing by… Again see blue lights flash, but why …

One dies, but lives, one saved to serve longer

… off the chains fell, the gateway then opened by God’s mighty will …

Under his hat

Culinary mixtures, and complementary flavours; anthropomorphical avant-garde creative creature: ‘hair-raising’ mentor (or ‘puppeteer’?) (look under...

His work in the heart

yes, much interesting

Posted on Sat, 14 Dec 2019

Mary never claimed to be

Posted on Thu, 05 Dec 2019
