The Epistle to the Colossians
David Bambrick Chapter Three: verses 1-25. As in the last two chapter of Galatians, Paul here, in these last two chapter gives lots of practical teaching or application on what he has taught previously.

A Sin by any Other Name Would Smell Just as Bad.
As I was reading about the national sins of Israel in the wilderness, I was interested in what the Word of God had to say concerning His chosen, their rebellion and how God dealt with it all. For more information on this read Psalms 105-107. It is Psalm 106 that relates to what I’m aboutContinue reading “A Sin by any Other Name Would Smell Just as Bad.”

But I can assure you that there is a lot more to the answer than just forty-two. Many people ask questions about life. They study anatomy and physiology, the psychology of manContinue reading “The Answer is not 42”

Oh! Me Hair
This poem I wrote in 2012. As I looked into bathroom mirror after arising from bed one morning the train-wreck that stared back at me prompted this poem. I’ll have to cut me hair today, me hair it’s gone all wrong.It’s old and grey and very coarse like a sailor and his song.A patch ofContinue reading “Oh! Me Hair”
