Editorial on Biden's stunning 'success' in Afghanistan
Afghanistan under the thumb of the Taliban. Street lynching, political murder and freedoms quashed. That is Afghanistan as those who voted for Biden as President have achieved. A tarred man is lead with a noose down a street for a walk of shame. What was his crime? Or does it not matter if there was a crime, only that the terrorists can show their ability to assert their authority. Just like Biden locking up people who peacefully demonstrated on January 6th. How long will those peaceful demonstrators be detained? Eight months without a trial? They say justice delayed is justice denied. How long will Biden delay justice in Afghanistan?
I asked a colleague who liked Biden, what they thought God thought about Afghanistan. My friend said "God should never have been there"
Editorial on reimposition of Andrews Curfew
Australian news propaganda has Vic extension of lockdown as being necessary. And imposition of curfew, again, which failed last time. Why do left wing governments have to copy NAZI ideas on social organisation? From eugenics, family planning, public shaming, social isolation, removal of freedoms and environmentalism, it is almost as if some ageing NAZI is still funding their ideals world wide. Curfew and lockdown failed last time in Victoria, with over a hundred dying after being denied effective medication while crime tape was placed children's swings and roundabouts. The deaths were a direct result of Premier Andrews placing a bungling private security company over quarantine, a company closely connected with ALP and not subject to competitive bidding for the job. When asked about his decision, the Premier delayed answering for months, and then said he forgot.
Delta variant Covid is more transmissible than COVID 19, and less deadly, Less deadly than the common cold. And what is wrong with treating it with appropriate medication?
Editorial on Pell case and Deep state
Cardinal Pell had created the Melbourne Response into institutionalised pedophilia in the '90s in Australia. It was a world first, but hamstrung by laws of the day, giving victims compensation without forcing them to trial. There was a backlash and a party which had included many who were known pedophiles and had deep bureaucratic connections had had Pell face decades of litigation which over time crept to accuse Pell of being a pedophile, and had him jailed on a false pretext for over a year. He had been convicted by the Victorian high court after the chief justice took the case saying they would be impartial, but they weren't. In the mean time, Pell had been 3rd in power within the Catholic church and had restructured church finances world wide to root out corruption. Recently, senior church members who allegedly leaked against Pell are facing charges of embezzlement. I see no evidence Catholicism is more prone to pedophilia than elsewhere, and I know there are tragic examples. But a deep state issue within Catholicism has seemed to be in the mix and on both sides, Catholics are standing up. Tony Abbott was the first conservative Catholic in Australia (It could be argued Joseph Lyons was Catholic too, but the UAP founder had been ALP first). Malcolm Turnbull is catholic too. Deep state division within Catholicism dates over a thousand years. It is not solely responsible for US deep state issues, but it does seem a contributor.

Editorial on Friday 13th
There used to be a 13th month. It spawned the idea of a blue moon which happens once a year. Robert Graves interpreted artwork from pre literacy Greece found that woman were the initial leaders of the Greeks, and they had three powerful gods, Hera, Aphrodite and Athena. They were a kind of trinity, where Hera, cow eyed, was the older who saw wrongs when others didn't realise she was watching. Aphrodite was a mature, desirable woman. Pallas Athene was the child goddess, whose wisdom was like a sharp pre teen girl. Over time, Queens would adopt a king for a year. At the end of the year, the blue moon, the king would be sacrificed and his blood and bones would be fertiliser. Later still, prisoners might be sacrificed for the king.
The thirteenth month has disappeared from our calendar but still exists as a blue moon, sometimes defined as the month of the year with two moons.
The Code of Hammurabi left off the number 13 for reasons now unknown.
Apollo 13 came too late to be foundational, but my, it was inspiring.
The knights Templar were screwed before French King Philip stole their assets by accusing them of heresies and then torturing them to confess, beginning Friday 13th. They had lost everything when Jerusalem fell after 150 years when the language spoken there had been French. Jerusalem fell after Jerusalem's king's daughter was kidnapped, and so the king the left the safety of a fortress and was slaughtered in battle. The Knights Templar had the timeless duty of guarding Jerusalem and her antiquities. The Holy Grail legend may have been resurrected to impugn the Knights? I feel the knights were victims of a deep state within Christianity. Part of the chaff masquerading as wheat.

From the Bible Romans 15:1-13
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: “The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me.” For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, so that the promises made to the patriarchs might be confirmed and, moreover, that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written:
“Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles;
I will sing the praises of your name.”
Again, it says,
“Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
And again,
“Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;
let all the peoples extol him.”
And again, Isaiah says,
“The Root of Jesse will spring up,
one who will arise to rule over the nations;
in him the Gentiles will hope.”
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

3. Economic. There is more inter-relatedness here than often discussed: the reason for the disappearing ride share driver is both the dramatic rise in the cost of rental cars (coinciding with a crazy spike in used cars generally) and the labor shortage induced by supplemental stimulus checks discouraging work. Many uber drivers use rental cars, and the spike in those costs led them to opt out of Uber work too.

Here is a video I made Cant Help Falling in Love (With You)
"Can't Help Falling in Love", by George Weiss, Hugo Peretti and Luigi Creatore, is a pop song based on "Plaisir d'amour" by Jean Paul Egide Martini. It was adapted for inclusion in the 1961 film Blue Hawaii, starring Elvis Presley. During the following four decades, it went on to be covered by numerous artists, most notably by the British reggae group UB40, whose 1993 version topped the U.S. and UK Singles charts. To this day it remains the anthem of many football and Rugby League clubs, Including Hull City FC Sunderland A.F.C and Huddersfield Giants.
=== From 2018 ===
Don't give up on hope. Aretha Franklin has passed, too soon. But she leaves behind a rich legacy and an extraordinary story. Her father was a pastor of note, but also a philanderer and hair raising stories are told of his arrangements. Aretha became a mother at 12 years old, and again at 14. She married age 19 and divorced eight years later and remarried again, and divorced four years later. She chose not to remarry and called off an engagement with a long time partner in 2012. It is her lifestyle which fuelled her soul music. Respect. Natural Woman, Chain of fools, Think and, Spanish Harlem. She stopped touring this year. And, before pancreatic Cancer took her aged 76, she had achieved much.
I'm contributing to QUORA, a question and answer site that can be a bit addictive.
Which is more noble or virtuous: To confess to a lie in order live and fight another day even if only from imprisonment, or to maintain your innocence and resist the oppressor only to be executed today?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gulag_Archipelago
US has a justice system that functions. But it has squeaky wheels and much criticism gets directed at her that is partisan and opportunistic. Generally, people don't face the choice given above, although there are innocent people who plead guilty because of the vagaries of the system.
In scripture, Christ, Confucius, Solomon and Buddha provide answers. There is also an answer from Islam. I won’t cover the religious answers.
Yet, in the face of severe injustice, Christian pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer faced that choice, and was executed. He knew we’d be discussing this and he answered it. "This is the end—for me the beginning of life." He was afraid of implicating his brother, who was also hanged anyway. He was executed a few days before his incarceration place was liberated. His last moments have been described as, “Eberhard Bethge, a student and friend of Bonhoeffer's, writes of a man who saw the execution: "I saw Pastor Bonhoeffer... kneeling on the floor praying fervently to God. I was most deeply moved by the way this lovable man prayed, so devout and so certain that God heard his prayer. At the place of execution, he again said a short prayer and then climbed the few steps to the gallows, brave and composed. His death ensued after a few seconds. In the almost fifty years that I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God."” However the description may have been fabricated as it is known others had been tortured to death and the doctor present may not have wished to have been implicated.

A daily column on what the ALP have as a policy, supported by a local member, and how it has 'helped' the local community. I'll stop if I cannot identify a policy. Feel free to make suggestions. Contact me on FB, not twitter. I have twitter, but never look at it.
Gabrielle Williams was appointed Parliamentary Secretary for Carers and Volunteers, working with the Minister for Housing, Disability and Ageing and the Minister for Families and Children. Williams was given those titles when elected in 2014. It is difficult to find what value she has been to Dandenong, but clearly the ALP see her as the future. On Aug 14th, Williams' News feed had an article on a $30 million government budget policy. The ALP want people to pick a project. The rules are simple. Find a project that Dan Andrews wants to promote himself. Vote for the one that means most to you. Dan will go with the flow, wether it is good for you or not. That is not democracy. That is a pork barrel.
As part of the November 24th Vic election campaign I have a petition I want to bring before the Opposition Leader Matthew Guy. I believe Matthew will be the next premier of Victoria and so I am petitioning him as I raise the issues of Employment, Crime and Education in Dandenong. I am also seeking money for my campaign. I don't have party resources, and so my campaign is on foot, and on the internet. Any money I receive that is not spent on the campaign will go to Grow 4 Life. I am asking questions like "What do you love about Dandenong?" and "If you could change something in Dandenong to make it better, what would it be?" I'm not limiting the questions to state issues. I'm happy to discuss anything, and get things done.
I'm contributing to QUORA, a question and answer site that can be a bit addictive.
Which is more noble or virtuous: To confess to a lie in order live and fight another day even if only from imprisonment, or to maintain your innocence and resist the oppressor only to be executed today?

US has a justice system that functions. But it has squeaky wheels and much criticism gets directed at her that is partisan and opportunistic. Generally, people don't face the choice given above, although there are innocent people who plead guilty because of the vagaries of the system.
In scripture, Christ, Confucius, Solomon and Buddha provide answers. There is also an answer from Islam. I won’t cover the religious answers.
Yet, in the face of severe injustice, Christian pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer faced that choice, and was executed. He knew we’d be discussing this and he answered it. "This is the end—for me the beginning of life." He was afraid of implicating his brother, who was also hanged anyway. He was executed a few days before his incarceration place was liberated. His last moments have been described as, “Eberhard Bethge, a student and friend of Bonhoeffer's, writes of a man who saw the execution: "I saw Pastor Bonhoeffer... kneeling on the floor praying fervently to God. I was most deeply moved by the way this lovable man prayed, so devout and so certain that God heard his prayer. At the place of execution, he again said a short prayer and then climbed the few steps to the gallows, brave and composed. His death ensued after a few seconds. In the almost fifty years that I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God."” However the description may have been fabricated as it is known others had been tortured to death and the doctor present may not have wished to have been implicated. Dietrich could have said he was wrong and accepted Nazism.
Thomas More, called a Man for all Seasons, was executed, and before his execution has been described as saying that faith was like water cupped in the hands of a thirsty man in the desert. In an unguarded moment, the hand opens and the drops are lost in dust, never to be recovered.

Some things should not happen, but they do. Australia is over governed with three layers of government, federal state and local. Local councils can be very good, focused on core objectives like town planning, community hubs like libraries, pools and gymnasiums. Or, local council can be awful, reactive and intrusive and unhelpful. Greens and ALP dominated local councils tend to the latter. Sydney suffers under a Green type leadership which makes her awful. Melbourne prospers under a conservative, Robert Doyle. Recently, a Greens council attempted to ban a synagogue in a community with a large Jewish presence. Another council, Yarra, greens dominated, has floated fake polls regarding Australia Day so as to have Australia Day removed as a public Holiday and replace it with May 8th (which might be made to sound like 'mate' an Okker style greeting of a friend). If the council really needed to make a change, why lie about it? Couldn't they just stick to garbage collection and town planning? Why replace a summer holiday with a winter one?
On this day in history, 1 BC Wang Mang consolidated his power by becoming Marshall of State. Eight years later he became emperor. He was a Confucian scholar who aimed for ideals, but resulted in chaos. He had inherited chaos too. Emperor Ai of Han had died the previous day in 1 BC and had badly run the court, placing his homosexual lover in charge of the army. Wang reversed that policy, and the army chief suicided the next day, giving Wang his position in the Military. In 1513, early in his years on the throne, Henry VIII defeated France at the Battle of Guinegate. In 1792, Robespierre presented a petition demanding the commune of Paris create a revolutionary tribunal. In 1812, General William Hull surrendered Fort Detroit without a battle. Obama did something similar with the city of Detroit. In 1819, the Peterloo massacre occurred when cavalry charged a crowd of protestors in Peter's Field, Manchester. Not the act of a democratic power, 17 died and six hundred were wounded. In 1841 after the President vetoed bill for a second US Bank, Whigs (antecedent Democrats) rioted outside the White House in the most violent demonstration in White House history. In 1858, US President Buchanan sent a cable to Queen Victoria. It is not recorded if she was amused. In 1859, the Tuscan national assembly deposed the House of Habsburg Lorraine, the most royal family in European history. In 1869, a Paraguayan battalion made up of children, some wearing fake beards, numbering 6000, was crushed by the Brazilian Army, numbering 18000 Brazillians and 2000 Argentinians. In 1870 at the Battle of Mars-La-Tour Prussia defeated France in stunning fashion, with 30000 men facing 120000, Prussia should not have won, but did. In 1900, The Battle of Elands River during the 2nd Boer war had 500 British (297 Australians, 201 Rhodesians, 3 Canadians 3 Britons) at a supply dump faced off against 3000 Boer regulars. The Boers were not able to seize the dump before it was relieved over a week later. In 1913, fantasies of some were made real by women going to university in Japan's Tohoku University for the first time. In 1920, a player in Major League Baseball was killed by a fastball. In 1927, The Dole Air Race began from Oakland to Honolulu where six of the eight planes crashed or disappeared without trace. In 1929, Jordanians rioted killing jews in British mandate Palestine. In 1930, Fiddlesticks, the first colour and sound cartoon was made. In 1944 the German made jet bomber Junkers Ju 287 first flew. It was only a prototype. In 1945, Japan had surrendered but some still attempted to assassinate the PM, Suzuki, to prevent negotiations. On the same day, the last Chinese Emperor, Pu Yi was captured by Soviet Forces. In 1954, Sports Illustrated was first published. In 1960, Joseph Kittinger jumped out of a balloon at 31 km. In 1966, the communist witch hunt extended to celebrities aiding North Vietnamese. Hanoi Jane says she was used by communists, and is also vindicated.

The loss of AFL club Richmond to Geelong suggests a significant problem with salient lessons Australia wide. Richmond had defeated Collingwood the previous week, and has a reputation for playing better against better teams. Like any AFL team, Richmond has some great players that would grace any team of any era. By three quarter time against Geelong, Richmond were thirty five points up and seemed certain winners. But they lost, squandering their six goal lead. And it will be said that Geelong were hungrier for the win, and more desperate. But the fact is that Richmond had been trained by their coach to not care, as individuals. The top players can play badly because there will be no consequences if they can say they had played well earlier. But if a player is not desperate for a win all game, they need to be penalised for it by the coach or the coach needs to be answerable for not training his team to win. The same is true in politics, where appallingly bad decisions from the leadership needs to be penalised by members. Turnbull has been humiliated enough. He needs to go now. Shorten has failed enough, for the sake of the ALP, he needs to go. At the moment, the parliament is on a knife edge, and the ALP are not offering pairs for absent members from parliament. But the ALP last parliament deliberately got themselves ejected from parliament on a regular basis. Shorten was proud of that. They have been coached badly.
For some, at the moment, the Sex Party has more credibility.
=== from 2015 ===
Much that passes for policy in the ALP is mere hatred of conservatives and obsequious servitude to their union masters. But the unions don't exploit it responsibly. A senior journalist on channel 7 is caught out lying about Tony Abbott's trip to the front, claiming Mr Abbott dismissed the tragic death of an Australian soldier with "Shit happens." He got words on tape and publicly harangues Mr Abbott, but is seen on a wider edit to have inflated a poignant acknowledgement from Mr Abbott showing he was indeed aware of the enormity of the situation. The journalist is caught out, but is still in position slinging mud and lying about wider Canberra political events. Channel 9 have a senior political editor that has campaigned against the conservative parties for the ALP for some forty years. He has been caught out many times, but retains his position. So it is understandable when the Australian's associate editor John Lyons lies about SBS hiring a known bigot hostile to federal police, conservatives and decent people. We know Lyons is looking for job security. Lyons had also lied about Mr Abbott wanting to unilaterally invade Iraq.
Who believes the lies told about the conservatives? We are told that same sex marriage is marriage equality and that Mr Abbott is wrong to abide party policy and ask for the people to vote on the issue. We are told people want his government to write laws reflecting nothing like what was campaigned at election. And if he doesn't then his government is 'no longer Liberal.' We are told that it is compassionate to drown people wanting to come to Australia because that is what the ALP does. We are told a highly respected judge who agreed to give a talk on law at a lecture in the name of a highly respected deceased lawyer is as biased as Gillian Triggs for the HRC who has lied about what she saw at detention centres and had held up an inquiry which might have reflected badly on the ALP so as to attack an incoming conservative government. Consider the polls at the moment. Clearly a substantial number of those being polled believe those lies. Which is another reason why the media spread them.
ABC Insiders claimed the Abbott government has had a week from hell. They claim the highly respected judge leading an effective royal commission should step aside because he appears biased to them. They also claim that Australian people are demanding that churches are exposed to litigation for acting on conscience over same sex marriage. However, looked at in the cold light of reality, Mr Abbott has appropriately given a good judge effective powers to appropriately establish what is happening regarding union abuse of power in industry. And Mr Abbott has correctly prepared a way for Australians to register their values regarding same sex marriage. It is worth pointing out that same sex married peoples live in Australia at the moment and have full married rights. And civil unions are already available to any, excluding the very young or animals or polygamists. Polygamists still get welfare.

From 2014
Will All Blacks defeat Wallabies tonight, or will Wallabies get lucky? New Zealand are aiming for an eighteenth win on the trot. Australia has not won the Bledisloe Cup since 2002, and hasn't deserved to, unless pity scores points. A brilliant match by Australia in wet conditions and it is drawn 12 all. A Gold Coast pervert loser body builder pleads not guilty to murder. No word yet if they plan to plead temporary insanity or if tossing a young woman off of a balcony was an accident. One has the right to remain silent, but not to thrill kill. Rules aren't meant to be fuzzy. A scrum is supposed to be a fair contest for the ball, but it slows the game down in ARL. So a new rule has meant a quick play the ball, but it seems to have created a misunderstanding and now Paramatta Eels, have lost a game they might have won .. if only the referee knew what the rules were. And people gamble on the results. Ukraine claims it has blown up a Russian military convoy. Russia claims it hasn't. Meanwhile Russia has sent two hundred white aid trucks to their separatist friends. If Ukraine has targeted humanitarian aid then they deserve to face the world court for crimes against humanity. But then no one has claimed that that was what they have done. Commonwealth bank has a large profit. There is nothing wrong with that. Under the ALP, the federal government had a substantial deficit. That is bad. Even so, major advisors to the previous government say that Commonwealth bank has too much profit. Turns out Australia's foreign Minister, Julie Bishop, had her phone hacked while she was overseas. No news yet if it was Snowden.

Today's Old Testament reading: Psalm 91-93
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked....
from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked....
Today's New Testament reading: Romans 15:1-13
1 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. 2 Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up. 3 For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me." 4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.
5 May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ....

Morning
Very admirable was his occupation. If those who spend so many hours in idle company, light reading, and useless pastimes, could learn wisdom, they would find more profitable society and more interesting engagements in meditation than in the vanities which now have such charms for them. We should all know more, live nearer to God, and grow in grace, if we were more alone. Meditation chews the cud and extracts the real nutriment from the mental food gathered elsewhere. When Jesus is the theme, meditation is sweet indeed. Isaac found Rebecca while engaged in private musings; many others have found their best beloved there.
Very admirable was the choice of place. In the field we have a study hung round with texts for thought. From the cedar to the hyssop, from the soaring eagle down to the chirping grasshopper, from the blue expanse of heaven to a drop of dew, all things are full of teaching, and when the eye is divinely opened, that teaching flashes upon the mind far more vividly than from written books. Our little rooms are neither so healthy, so suggestive, so agreeable, or so inspiring as the fields. Let us count nothing common or unclean, but feel that all created things point to their Maker, and the field will at once be hallowed.
Very admirable was the season. The season of sunset as it draws a veil over the day, befits that repose of the soul when earthborn cares yield to the joys of heavenly communion. The glory of the setting sun excites our wonder, and the solemnity of approaching night awakens our awe. If the business of this day will permit it, it will be well, dear reader, if you can spare an hour to walk in the field at eventide, but if not, the Lord is in the town too, and will meet with thee in thy chamber or in the crowded street. Let thy heart go forth to meet him.
Evening
A heart of flesh is known by its tenderness concerning sin. To have indulged a foul imagination, or to have allowed a wild desire to tarry even for a moment, is quite enough to make a heart of flesh grieve before the Lord. The heart of stone calls a great iniquity nothing, but not so the heart of flesh.
"If to the right or left I stray,
That moment, Lord, reprove;
And let me weep my life away,
For having grieved thy love"
The heart of flesh is tender of God's will. My Lord Will-be-will is a great blusterer, and it is hard to subject him to God's will; but when the heart of flesh is given, the will quivers like an aspen leaf in every breath of heaven, and bows like an osier in every breeze of God's Spirit. The natural will is cold, hard iron, which is not to be hammered into form, but the renewed will, like molten metal, is soon moulded by the hand of grace. In the fleshy heart there is a tenderness of the affections. The hard heart does not love the Redeemer, but the renewed heart burns with affection towards him. The hard heart is selfish and coldly demands, "Why should I weep for sin? Why should I love the Lord?" But the heart of flesh says; "Lord, thou knowest that I love thee; help me to love thee more!" Many are the privileges of this renewed heart; "'Tis here the Spirit dwells, 'tis here that Jesus rests." It is fitted to receive every spiritual blessing, and every blessing comes to it. It is prepared to yield every heavenly fruit to the honour and praise of God, and therefore the Lord delights in it. A tender heart is the best defence against sin, and the best preparation for heaven. A renewed heart stands on its watchtower looking for the coming of the Lord Jesus. Have you this heart of flesh?

I am a decent man and don't care for the abuse given me. I created a video raising awareness of anti police feeling among western communities. I chose the senseless killing of Nicola Cotton, a Louisiana policewoman who joined post Katrina, to highlight the issue. I did this in order to get an income after having been illegally blacklisted from work in NSW for being a whistleblower. I have not done anything wrong. Local council appointees refused to endorse my work, so I did it for free. Youtube's Adsence refused to allow me to profit from their marketing it. Meanwhile, I am hostage to abysmal political leadership and hopeless journalists. My shopfront has opened on Facebook.

I am publishing a book called Bread of Life: January.
Bread of Life is a daily bible quote with a layman's understanding of the meaning. I give one quote for each day, and also a series of personal stories illustrating key concepts eg Who is God? What is a miracle? Why is there tragedy?
January is the first of the anticipated year-long work of thirteen books. One for each month and the whole year. It costs to publish. It (Kindle version) should retail at about $2US online, but the paperback version would cost more, according to production cost.If you have a heart for giving, I fundraise at gofund.me/27tkwuc (Gofundme finished the fund raiser, 2017)
