The current programme, running until 30 September, means Australians can surrender unregistered firearms and related items without fear of prosecution. Justice Minister Michael Keenan said…

A gift in your hands is like owning a piece of jewelry. Being talented is like having a gem. Many may get attracted to it though you may mistakenly misinterpret as attraction to you. Many may flock after you because of what is in your hands. If the jewelry changes hands, they will change their following!   Sometimes, the most gifted people are exposed to the worst of dangers. Many people walk into their lives chasing after what is in their hands…not that which is in their hearts. Many a times, others cash in on their influence. They hang around them…

Their recklessness has in fact converted many naïve fellows as such. This kind of spamming has become rampant annoying to the extent even Jesus is tired. Please stop asking people to like, type amen or send to. I have read the Bible a few things. Never did I read that God answered prayers based on likes, amen or send to. That is not a proper use and application of…
