You can’t see me at the moment but I’m sitting in my lounge room on a Saturday morning. I had to do some bike repairs so went for a test ride with my son. As a result I am sitting at my laptop with my hands still covered in bike grease even after a scrub. What do they make that stuff out of? I was … Continue reading Typing With Dirty Hands

And Jesus said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go … Continue reading Touched
