PROF ISAAC GALISTEIN
Welcome to my weekly magazine post. Watch
it grow thru the week. You can opt to read the essay,
current affairs, themed mini mag with fiction & poetry, or just
read the lot. Here’s hoping you enjoy your visit. Plenty
for everyone here so do call again next week.
MICROFICTION
Edible wild flowers in cups and lobster
monster cream cakes were painted into
Picasso’s tea party. But who ate who?
ATHEISM
Atheism traditionally means a non-belief in gods, yet its growth in line
with science suggests another primary meaning. Science says we are
alone in a chaotic world, an individual against cold chaos. This is very
similar to the ideal of atheism, an individual with no concept higher.
Yet doesn’t the simple fact that the two concepts grew in unison
suggest this may not be the case? Maybe we are as one with culture,
a concept most definitely above the individual.
PARK
Park is such a crisp, abrupt word. Unusual
for the English language, it doesn’t fit. Think
of what it stands for – being still and inactive;
a place of tranquility. Quite krap really.
Eye On the World
Essays on everything from science
to religion, politics to crime
HEALTH NEWS: Local doctors
could be given responsibility for much
of Brit National Health Service. Good idea.
It will tailor service to where it’s needed.
BRIT NEWS: Deputy PM says coalition govt marks end
of tribal politics. I hope not. It would mean consensus politics.
This would be bad for debate and bad for laws.
BRIT NEWS: Lord Mandelson’s memoirs admit Labour feared defeat 6
months before it happened. So, they weren’t totally stupid. Wonder
how the Prince of Darkness will force himself on us now.
WORLD NEWS: BP ‘successfully installs’ new cap on leaking well. No
congratulations here. The whole oil industry is to be condemned for
never realising such a thing could happen.
BRIT NEWS: After fragile truce Church of England prepares for women
bishops. Will cause anger among world Anglicanism. Leadership of
national & world church needs to split.
WORLD NEWS: After 3rd attack on Brit troops by an Afghan soldier
they were training, people asking when will Afghan army be
ready for task. Easy. Never. When we leave there’ll be
another war.
BRIT NEWS: Following huge manhunt & stand-off in
which killer kills himself, Prime Minister criticises
Facebook for allowing ‘legend’ page to Like
him. It’s vile, but we have free speech
or we don’t.
THE CRIME POST
It would be criminal not to read it
One Single Impression
Sunday Scribblings – Friday Flash 55
Three Word Wednesday – Writer’s Island
One Shot Wednesday
ANGEL
Gabriel and Co, they fought crime,
First law and order from the Divine,
Always ready to zap the bad,
God fearing people were so glad,
Then the ultimate fiend did drop,
Lucifer – the very first bent cop
FLASH 55 – KIDNAP
Fiction: He soon realized his mistake in kidnapping her. The police were
soon on his trail – surrounded the building. It was then that all hell
broke loose. Surprised, he was soon blooded – handcuffed – in pain.
The police were tense, unsure what to do. ‘Let him go,’ they
demanded. ‘Not until I’ve made him suffer,’ she said.
REUNION
They all reacted to the reunion call,
LBDs, DJs – they had a ball,
Organisers happy; they did well,
Visiting all, feeling swell;
Partygoers left, happy, glad,
Reunited with homes, empty, sad
THE BAIT
Fiction: The Predator peered out of the shadows and saw Billy Goat.
Had no idea about baits – only saw victims. Hunter watched, every
nerve tingling; and as Predator was about to strike, he jumped. Later,
another mugger behind bars, DI Hunter said: ‘Nice one Bill.’ ‘Thanks,
guv,’ Said Detective Goat.
SOURCE
Crime had erupted on the housing estate,
Police were baffled, questioning with haste,
Usual suspects put on the spot,
Clear up rates were certainly shot,
The source had made the policeman a fool,
They should have looked in the infant school
BRIT NEWS: Researchers predict
ethnic minorities will make up 20%
of population by 2050. This is fine as
long as we dump political correctness and
accept minorities thrive best in an over-culture.
BRIT NEWS: Recession was officially the worst since the
Depression with 6 quarters of negative growth. And with the
cuts now ongoing, a double-dip is highly likely. Fasten the seat
belts, folks.
WORLD NEWS: Russian spy Anna Chapman had been thought to want to
settle in UK where she has citizenship. Not no more. Her Brit nationality
has been revoked. Well, she’ll have to become a ‘star’ elsewhere.
BRIT NEWS: Pro-market reforms in health service by giving power to
local doctors to buy services will open it up to privatisation.
There are good and bad points in this.
WORLD NEWS: Vatican decrees ordination of women priest
an ecclesiastical crime. This will be seen as clear snub
towards Church of England. Oh ladies! It’s Henry’s
wives all over again.
CRIME NEWS: British Crime Survey say police
records show 43% fall in crime since 1997.
Two reasons. Affluence causes a fall;
and many people too sceptical of
police to bother reporting it.

Loved the kidnap! hahahaha! Love the Friday 55!
anthonynorth said
Hi Denise,
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it
SandyCarlson said
Anthony,
I really like that microfiction piece a lot. I think Picasso would, too.
anthonynorth said
Hi Sandy,
Thanks for that. Kind words.
naquillity said
I really like what you said about atheism. Loved your clever take in Angel. And, the ending to Kidnap was unexpected. Nicely done. Hope all is well.
anthonynorth said
Hi Naquillity,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
pamela said
Anthony I always enjoy visiting your blog! I love your post on Atheism!

Steve E said
“55″…GREAT! I am fortunate the police got to me FIRST–grin!
My “55″ is HERE
James said
So why did God create Lucifer?
why is there good and bad?
why did jacob struggle with angel all during night?
yes God gave man science concepts and even atheism, but why? what purpose does it serve?
It is written, “there is none else besides Him.” This means that there is no other force in the world that has the ability to do anything against Him. And what man sees, that there are things in the world that deny the Higher Household, the reason is that this is His will.
And it is deemed a correction, called “the left rejects and the right adducts,” meaning that which the left rejects is considered correction. This means that there are things in the world, which, to begin with, aim to divert a person from the right way, and by which he is rejected from Sanctity.
And the benefit from the rejections is that through them a person receives a need and a complete desire for the Creator to help him, since he sees that otherwise he is lost.
this is how i see it.
Jeeves said
I like the kidnap pme
Jeeves said
I meant Kidnap fiction.Sorry for typo mistake
anthonynorth said
Hi Pamela,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
Hi Steve,
Loved that comment
Hi James,
Many thanks. As I see it, if bad didn’t exist, how would we know how to be good?
Hi Jeeves,
Thanks for that. We all suffer from those typos.
systematicweasel said
Another great post! I especially loved the Flash Fiction: Kidnap!
-Weasel
anthonynorth said
Hi Weasel,
Many thanks. Glad you liked it.
Loch Rob said
Anthony, I liked your poem “Angle”. It has me smiling today. I too, have always been a fan of Picasso. Such beauty in the abstract.
anthonynorth said
Hi Loch Rob,
Thanks for that. Yes, Picasso was certainly different.
1sojournal said
I have thought, for a long time, that science is another form of religion, a gatherer of smaller truths masquerading as the only one.
I liked all of it Anthony, as I usually do, you always make me think. And yes, I know, that’s dangerous, lol.
Elizabeth
Mary said
Anthony, your blog is always interesting to read as well as educational. I liked your reunion post. I’m not sure what LBD’s are. Must be British. It is a sad poem really…after the reunion people go home to empty homes. Until the next reunion?
william said
another brillant week of reporting, thanks
anthonynorth said
Hi 1sojournal,
Thanks for that. Yes, most forms of knowledge seem to share the same processes, whether religious or scientific.
Hi Mary,
Many thanks. Much appreciated. LBD stands for little black dress.
Hi William,
Thanks for that, and you’re welcome
Pat said
Now that is a unique take on this week’s Microfiction–a Picasso painting or a set for his painting. Very clever! I like it.
anthonynorth said
Hi Pat,
Many thanks. That was about the most difficult picture prompt so far. Took me ages to come up with something.
Bill said
I agree, I think Picasso is enjoying your MfM as well. Poor Lobster, good he didn’t ask for something worse.
anthonynorth said
Hi Bill,
Thanks for that. It would be nice if he is
Comedy Plus said
There was another oil spill in the gulf of Mexico in 1979. It was horrible too and this oil spill was handled in the same clumsy way that the one in 1979 was. At least this current spill didn’t last as long as the one in 1979.
Your World News is right on the money. When we leave that’s exactly what’s going to happen.
Have a terrific day Anthony.
anthonynorth said
Hi Sandee,
Thanks for that. It seems oil spills and Afghan wars are as inevitable as the sun rising in the morning.
Sylvia Kirkwood said
I can hear Picasso laughing!! What a fun take for the day — as always, Anthony! Hope you have a great week!

Stan Ski said
Crime, Culture, Cubism and krap – all that’s left is to Comment:
Excellent post!
Granny Smith said
I loved your little poem, “Source”. It suggests tackling the problem at its true source. Insightful – as always.
Old Grizz said
another good time was had here by O.G….enjoyed it all
no arguments from me this week
ladynimue said
The source poem was fab !! a cool approach
John said
The biscuits clearly. I’ve gone for psychosculpture this week in my story
Old Egg said
I never cease to be amazed at your prolific posting. Source was certainly a fun piece and with other posts you seem to manage to well satisfy your readers. Alerting us to the opposite of Park as being krap was a gem.
anthonynorth said
Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it.
Hi Stan,
Many thanks for the kind words.
Hi Granny Smith,
Yes, trying to stop them young has got to be part of the answer. Many thanks.
Hi Old Grizz,
And thank you for the kind comment.
Hi Ladynimue,
Thanks for that. much appreciated.
Hi John,
Could be. Oh, crumbs!
Hi Old Egg,
Very kind words. Glad you liked the post.
southlakesmom said
Ahh…call it ART and the people will stare appreciatively! That’s the only way I can fathom Picasso!
anthonynorth said
Hi Southlakesmom,
A lot of people think of him like that. He was an artist for his time. Freud had unleashed the power of the unconscious, and Picasso gave it image.
Zephyr said
Flash 55 was wonderful, if someone’s ‘suffering’ could be called that! Source points to the state of affairs today. your crime news takes a dig at the police too! I never cease to marvel at how you manage to convey so much in such few words!
Atheism is so logically true!
anthonynorth said
Hi Zephyr,
Thanks for that. Very kind words.
Peggy said
This is a great whodunit. “Who ate who?”
That is the question. Loved it.
jabblog uk said
I shall view Picasso’s work with added interest now
anthonynorth said
Hi Peggy,
Many thanks. And I don’t think I’ve decided myself, yet
Hi Jabblog,
Ah, yes, even more mysterious, isn’t he
Mama Badger said
lobster monster cream pies? Was I one of the few that didn’t want to eat this little guy?
anthonynorth said
Hi Mama Badger,
Oh, we’re a most sadistic lot, I must admit
Ellie said
A kidnap story! Genius. Loved it, as always. Have a fab week.
Julie Jordan Scott said
Oh, I love the different places SOURCE takes us!!! Your words, crisp and soooo male. I can hear the voices in it. THANK YOU!
anthonynorth said
Hi Ellie,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
Hi Julie,
Many thanks. Glad you liked it.
Michael G-G said
Excellent compendium, as usual. And your MM was a fresh take. I think Picasso would have enjoyed it.
Twilight said
“as one with culture” you say AN…… Sounds about right. Did cavemen believe in gods? Not sure. I wonder who first started the idea of wondrous beings living on high? We seem to be at a cusp now with many believers and many non-believers. Wonder which way it’ll tip…. if BP doesn’t get its act together that is.
I wouldn’t be too confident that all is as well in the Gulf of Mex as the powers that be say it is. Something is rotten…..again.
anthonynorth said
Hi Michael,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
Hi Twilight,
I never believe the powers that be about anything
As for where gods came from? Well, I reckon in the deep past man’s mind was more connected to each other. Personality was yet to come, a sense of identity not yet present, and every decision seeming to come from outside oneself in the form of symbol, or archetype. As the shaman developed, his hysterical trance states took him to a symbolic otherworld in his mind and the spiritual was rising out of symbol. And as personality developed, so did storytelling, and the storyteller embellished it all into great heroes, who through time became the gods of myth.
Dee said
Anthony I really like the microfiction piece. It had a freestyle poetry feel to it even though you wrote it as prose.
Atheism – I always think about the little child that shouts “that’s not fair!” – where did he get the concept of fairness if he didn’t have a sense of right and wrong built in as it were?
Park – how true LOL I love Airplanes land on a runway
Cars park on a driveway
???
Angel – never thought about it like that but I suppose in a way he was!
Kidnap – good for her, gave me a chuckle. Sounds like he would be better off with the police
Source – too real to be funny – criminals are getting younger and younger!
wayne said
like Picasso….I like it too…..nice written again Tony
anthonynorth said
Hi Dee,
Thanks for that comment. I think the one I like best regarding things above the individual is the new born baby automatically seeking out the mother’s breast to suck. How does it know?
Hi Wayne,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
Sylvia Kirkwood said
Great post for the day, as always, Anthony, hey, you’re an A word! I always learn something when I come here and every day is a good day when you can do that! Enjoy the rest of your week!
Sylvia
anthonynorth said
Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for that. Never thought of myself as an A word before. Like it!
Cheong said
love that wicked twist in “Kidnap”.
anthonynorth said
Hi Cheong,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
curtisbell said
The Angels poem really stood out to me. I liked how you called the devil a crooked cop. It is a great allusion to the passage “Satan disguises himself as an angel of light”.
anthonynorth said
Hi Curtis,
Many thanks. Yes, there are a lot of similarities with a fallen angel.
Anna's Adornments said
Interesting thoughts about ‘Atheism’ and ‘Angel’; and the ‘FLash 55 – Kidnap’ was funny.
Glad to be able to start a new round ABC Wednesday from the beginning with the letter ‘A’ this time.
Best wishes,
Anna
A is for Anna!
Roger Green said
I just don’t find God and science at odds. As a minister recently wrote: “My faith tells me to take care of God’s creation; science tells me how.”
soulintention: signed .............bkm said
Always love reading your blog…love the Park piece….quite krap…..bkm
Reader Wil said
BRIT NEWS: Deputy PM says coalition govt marks end
of tribal politics. I hope not. It would mean consensus politics.
That’s true: we always have consensus politics and that means that nothing happens. BTW we still have no government.
Annelie said
I never thought about how difficult it can be to define this word, atheism, before, but now you have brought the idea …
Loved it!
Annelie, ABC Wednesday
anthonynorth said
Hi Anna,
Thanks for that. Yes, ABC is such fun.
Hi Roger,
That’s a good approach. Wish more people would follow it, though.
Hi Bkm,
Many thanks. Much appreciated.
Hi Reader Wil,
Thanks for that. Yes, personally I don’t think this UK govt will last long. It’s just not how we’ve ever done it – with the exception of World War Two.
Hi Annelie,
Thanks for that, and welcome.
brian said
nice verse today anthony…quite the mystery you have parlayed for us today…in the infant school….thanks for linking up with one shot…see you tomorrow!
anthonynorth said
Hi Brian,
Many thanks. I guess that’s where it all starts nowadays.
Gayle said
Always when I think of “park”, immediately I think of green. Hadn’t thought of “still” and “inactive”, but now I probably will!
anthonynorth said
Hi Gayle,
Yes, park is used in so many ways, to park a car, etc. A park we walk in is there to calm us, to be still.
Talon said
Loved Angel – the last line was brilliant! And Source made me feel sad – it does seem the criminals are getting younger and younger these days.
D.S. Lear said
well park is certainly a word that you need to use when traveling here because a mere side glance will not do to take in all the sights and scenes to be pondered and pondered again…not one piece of krap…always makes me think..the atheist piece, the Angel, the kidnapping..all just make me hmmmmm park for a bit!
life with kaishon said
I am so thankful that I believe in Jesus. I simply can not imagine living without that belief.
You always have a whole slew of information packed into your posts!
Tumblewords said
Excellent short on atheism! You are an A-type thinker!!
Patti said
I love Angel and Kidnap. I can just see the stories as they unfold. Excellent job painting these pictures with so few words!
Chris G. said
Very insightful and entertaining. Another great week of reporting–I especially liked what you had to say about atheism–reminded me of some of the late night chats me and my college friends have–and the kidnap fiction was fantastic. Perhaps our dear friend the kidnapper should have taken a moment to pause and reflect–before he let her get the handcuffs!
JanePoet ~ JP/deb said
a treasure trove, as ever!
Gwei Mui said
Wow what an amazing site you have, it’s birlliant just popped over form One Stop Poetry One SHot Wednesday. I really admire what you have done – there is soooo much to see and red I don’t know where to start ‘cept to say I’ll be back
pete marshall said
hi ya… once on the page its hard to come off, there is so many interesting things to explore..however Angel..a great verse with a great end…kinda made me think Adam & Eve good cop bad cop………..
anthonynorth said
Hi Talon,
Many thanks. Yes, if it could be nipped in the bud, it would be better for society.
Hi D. S. Lear,
Many thanks for those kind words.
Hi Life With Kaishon,
Many thanks. I certainly have no problem with any peacefully held belief.
Hi Tumblewords,
Thanks for that, although there are those who would disagree and call me many things beginning with ‘A’
Hi Patti,
Very kind words. Thank you.
Hi Chris,
Much appreciated.
Yes, he was a bit silly there
Hi Deb,
Thanks for that. glad you liked the post.
Hi Gwei Mui,
Many thanks, and welcome.
Hi Pete,
Thanks for the visit. Always welcome.
Reader Wil said
Confession:BTW , my burglar story was partly made up by me. The end was not true.
Sorry… But you probably knew that!
anthonynorth said
Hi Reader Wil,
Yes, I thought that, but it has come so close to the truth over here quite a few times.
dustus said
Atheism… that piece made me think about language development as a social, dynamic process connecting us to others and having evolved from gestures and approximations. Thought provoking post.
ThomG said
“The Bait” is a fun, fun read Tony. Sometimes, crime doesn’t pay.
anthonynorth said
Hi Dustus,
Thanks for that. Yes, a classic example you use there.
Hi Thom,
Many thanks. yes, always best when it doesn’t.
gautami tripathy said
Loved The Bait!
like an automata
Leo said
Billy Goat? Hunter? Predator?
wow.. what a fun read indeed.. real life crime, yet a touch of the animals in a nice way.. good one sir, lovely 3 WW!
anthonynorth said
Hi Gautami,
Many thanks. Glad you liked it.
Hi Leo,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
Rajlakshmi said
awesome ficyion there… they make such a deligtful read… I speacially love the crime posts
mark said
Free Speech is a gift and a responsibility…just because one can doesn’t mean one should.
Nifty Detective Goat story….
Jay from The Depp Effect said
“Wonder how the Prince of Darkness will force himself on us now”
Hahaha! Yes, I wonder! And I also wonder: does anyone like him?
Not sure I agree about coalitions, but I’m with you on the political correctness and minorities (of whatever flavour) thing.
anthonynorth said
Hi Rajlakshmi,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
Hi Mark,
Many thanks. Yes, I agree with you on free speech, but sadly it’s impossible to police if we decide we have it.
Hi Jay,
Oh, I can see him following the Michael Portillo route, fluttering his eyelashes in open necked shirt, or thinking up all sorts of things to appear in a documentary about.
Mama Zen said
The Vatican has a lot of nerve throwing the word “crime” at anyone!
anthonynorth said
Hi Mama Zen,
It sure has.
lissa said
I like MICROFICTION – I like the thought of staring at a Picasso painting and wonder what is really going on
naramalone said
Loved Bait. You completely fooled me til the end.
Amity said
Ha ha ha…nice one Anthony….whatta bait…!!!
Jamie Dedes said
A potpourri of fun, fact and fiction. I like it. Original. Thanks!
ladynimue said
Liked the microfiction .. had missed that in last reading .. And not to mention that angel poem was super cool
anthonynorth said
Hi Lissa,
Yes, they’re intriguing paintings, aren’t they?
Hi Nara,
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it.
Hi Amity,
Many thanks. Much appreciated.
Hi Jamie,
Many thanks for the kind words.
Hi Ladynimue,
Much appreciated. Thank you.
brian said
smiles. but i like park…lol.
anthonynorth said
Hi Brian,
Thanks for that
Brenda said
You always have intriguing posts. I’m interested to find out what happens with the introduction of women priests. Thanks for sharing.
Shelley Munro said
I liked the Park one. That made me laugh.
betsy said
a crisp and abrupt word…you are certainly correct there! It doesn’t fit the meaning of park. Bark on the other hand IS crisp and abrupt! haha.
Alice Audrey said
Sociable atheism? Now there’s a thought.
anthonynorth said
Hi Brenda,
Interesting times in the Church over here. Thanks for the kind words.
Hi Shelley,
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it.
Hi Betsy,
Yes, you can’t get more abrupt than that.
Hi Alice,
It is indeed
Dee said
clever use of the names for Detective Hunter and Detective Goat
anthonynorth said
Hi Dee,
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it
Matty said
I never quite looked at the word “park” like that before. Inactivity. Interesting.
anthonynorth said
Hi Matty,
Yes, everything it seems to stand for is of inaction.
Divaa Divine said
whenever i come here i have a revelation and some good insight
making my own mantra
anthonynorth said
Hi Divaa Divine,
Thanks for that. Glad to be of service.
Me a writer? said
And the mouse shall roar…My 55 here Thanks for popping by
anthonynorth said
Hi Me A Writer,
She certainly did.
brian said
and the police responded…soon. smiles. nice 55 anthony!
anthonynorth said
Hi Brian,
Not too soon
G-Man said
Detective Goat indeed!
Everything was expectedly Terrific!
Loved the 55.
Love your wit…
Have a Kick Ass Week-End…Galen
anthonynorth said
Hi G-Man,
Many thanks. Glad you liked it.
Jay Thurston said
The Bait – Detective Goat? Ha ha, good ending!
Enjoyed Source and Reunion also!
anthonynorth said
Hi Jay,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
Alice Audrey said
Oooo, she really turned the tables on him. Great 55.
anthonynorth said
Hi Alice,
Yes, who needs police with her?
Leo said
i’m not an atheist, but not believing in a particular religion or God as such, just spiritual…
however, i do like that comparison between atheistic theory and science theory. made an interesting read.
moondustwriter said
I’d have to say your underlying theme was crime (or stopping it with goats and gals) certainly Facebook did not help the cause.
Oh Anthony you never cease to amaze mere mortals
smiles from the Moon
anthonynorth said
Hi Leo,
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it.
Hi Moondustwriter,
Yes, I enjoy indulging in crime at least once a month – in literary terms, of course
Many thanks for the kind words.
Jeeves said
Liked your take on atheism
anthonynorth said
Hi Jeeves,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
KB said
scary 55 but I like it
anthonynorth said
Hi KB,
Many thanks.
Leo said
ah.. the angel poem is sort of like a 55 fic poem
liked that twist in the end…!
anthonynorth said
Hi Leo,
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it
gautami tripathy said
Liked Angels vey much!
angular angels
Also don’t to get aboard the Poetry Train on Monday mornings!
trisha said
BP ‘successfully installs’ new cap on leaking well. No
congratulations here. The whole oil industry is to be condemned for
never realising such a thing could happen
I so agree with your views. how could they let it happen?
patti said
Loved the ending on Angel… still chuckling about Lucifer being a “bent cop”. Have a good week!
sandra (if) said
Hi Anthony…so true about culture……I once wrote something about that and I learnt how important is to understand that word…
anthonynorth said
Hi Trisha,
One of the oil industry’s most heinous moments, I’m sure.
Hi Patti,
Thanks for that. Glad you liked it
Hi Sandra,
Many thanks. It’s a very important but oft misunderstood word.
Ramesh sood said
You are always so brief and good..
anthonynorth said
Hi Ramesh Sood,
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.
anthonynorth said
Hi Gautami,
Thanks for that. I had to retrieve your comment from the Great WordPress Comment Eater today.
Jim said
Oh no! If there are bent cops, starting from way back, then there probably is no Santa Clause either!
..
SandyCarlson said
Love that Angel poem. Lucifer the bent cop is dead on. He keeps things interesting.
Amity said
Ha ha ha…that sounds a li’l biblical…I was asking Jim if there were male angels coz it seems that in every post that I read, all are female angels…:)
But Gabriel and Lucifer, are they male?
Good morning Anthony!!!
Tumblewords said
Oh. I’m still laughing. There seem to be a large number of bent cops. Terrific Angel prompt response.
anthonynorth said
Hi Jim,
Ah, but those cops have never been clever enough to outwit him
Hi Sandy,
Many thanks. He certainly does.
Hi Amity,
Yes, as I recall, all the angels in the bible are male – I think.
Hi Tumblewords,
Many thanks for the kind words. Glad you liked it.
