• Overheard in the Bookshop

    The scene is a very busy bookshop. A bepigtailed elderwoman protagonist approaches the information desk. She pauses for a moment and then asks…

    “Excuse me, Religion is…?”

    Her bearded interlocutor pauses for a moment and then replies….

    “Religion is in the gold room, just up the stairs.”

    He pauses once again, and then asks, “Or were you looking for a more esoteric answer?”

    Kelvin, it was a great sermon. Would it be ok if I reproduced it in our church newsletter? The non computer older Dunoon folk would love to see it.

    It certainly was excellent. Many a ‘preacher’ could gain a great deal from studying your sermons. Could you not start a school for sermon givers? I am sure Nigal Robb would approve
