Anyway, I decided to go with Mr E  to [...]

” Gold - said the the man to the many,
 I want money and I’ll make it grow.
 I will count my worth in gold-wealth untold,
 I’ll sell my soul- Midas Man.”
 
“Sold -said the man to the many
Work for me, I’ll only steal your time
I will count my money out, there’s no doubt
I’ll sell my soul- Midas man.”

B - I – B -L – E :  Biblical Instruction Before Leaving Earth.
This abbreviation will stay with me. It was discovered one recent Sunday evening as I started to watch the Channel 4 documentary ” Make me a Christian.” The main aim for me was to discover one thing. What evidence did the ministers, involved in this [...]
