…“Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them: “Yes. Did YOU never read this, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have furnished praise’?” (Matt 21:16)

The most effective repellent is having a four poster bed covered in mosquito mesh, A brother in East London, South Africa made one,

"Why did God create mosquitoes" was a question once asked by a reader.

I'm late because I've been battling to find that post.

However, Monty Python's song "All things dull and ugly", a spoof on "All things bright and beautiful" is very funny.

The entire National Geographic August 2018 is about sleep. One third of us will experience diagnosable sleep disorder. Animals will sooner die from lack of sleep than hunger. An upset in a substance called beta-amyloid is closely related to Alzheimer's. About 60% of the residents at our frail care home are sufferers.

Hello sister, do you remember the time when many brothers and sisters had a set of vinyl records containing all the kingdom songs? My eldest son and me worked on the kingdom hall sound system, and we would get the records with songs for meeting ready. Some years before that, the hall had a piano. One dear old sister who had Parkinson's disease used to play the kingdom songs on that piano. At assemblies they had an orchestra made up of brothers who could play various musical instruments. Brother Cox,(Senior)from our congregation used to play the flute. It was almost like the days of King David. (1Sam 16:23)

Hi, and good (whatever time of the day it is on your side).

The SABC (the broadcasting society in South Africa) provides access to the German Deutche Welle every night. I watch it from about 5am. Good, clean news. The only part not liked which is shown occasionally is "Europe in concert." All that banging an clashing can be deafening to some.

Gone are the days when music and songs were gentle. My all time favorites are,  "How much is that doggie in the window." and "Loves old sweet song". Sometimes called, "Just a song at twilight"

From our song book I love "He will call" (Song 111) I miss my dear wife who passed away after a stroke in 2014 and think of her a few times every day. She was loved by everyone. Even in shops and streets people came asking her for our literature. She knew how to hold people's attention.
