MORE THAN “A HANDFULL OF MEN”
The allies spent over two years planning the invasion of Normandy but on “D- day”, the fate of the world was decided by a handful of men on strips of beaches. Throughout history, this has been the case; even in these trying times of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the monster rages on; devouring families, economies,…
A ladder for a bushel.
When you are fully formed, your plans and actions are reliant on what you want out of life. My choice is to be a ladder for a bushel, and a lantern to many more I have a multitude depending on me and expectations will never diminish. If I fail, many will flounder; struggle to recover….

A Sinking Ship

She can indeed be likened to a ship which set sail some fifty five (55) nautical miles from her present location to a destination that is the dream of all passengers….
OUR COMMON WEALTH
