As mentioned, I have Sharri Markson's excellent book on the Wuhan virus on zee boat for nights I sleep there occasionally, should I want something to read. Was just watching Markson on Sky News discussing NSW governor Minns ordering the bloated public servants back to the office. I have no idea how the real estate owners in the corporate downtown skyscrapers can survive without collecting their rents. Just amazing. While Minns is easily one of the sexiest Premiers NSW has seen, including the only lady to get the job, Gladys whoever, the reality is, none of these NSW Premiers are very sexy at all, but Minns is probably the sexiest, notwithstanding his anti Rupert Murdoch policies or whatever. Just from a hair perspective.
But if you want to talks about biblical sin, exceeding a gay man crush them look no further than Sharri Markson because you will be coveting your neighbour's wife. Now I know why I shouldn't be watching lesbian porn, right?
Exodus 20:17
You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.
Ok so no coveting my NSW neighbour's sexy Premier and definitely no coveting Sharri Markson's husband's wife Sharri (avert your eyes, she's too hot folks), that's the trickier of the two as I have a very soft spot for the ladies (starts whispering: I like ladies, just not fat frumpy socialist ones on the ABC, that's you fatty broomsticks on the ABC).
Ok so I mentioned on this blog, I believe its possible my favorite immediate family member who passed away in 1999, resurrected back here in Sydney again, in the flesh approximately ten years later, as an Anglican preacher's eldest child (of four). Crazy talk, right? Like a Robsang Lampa fairytale bullcrap, right? Well what I also might believe is what this girl's father is saying now, he's quitting his beloved ministry six months, to take care of his wife as she went mad around nine months ago.
I know people go mad. I've seen it happen. And whole groups can go mad or go kooky. Or go straight up narcissistic or anti Christ. Are the Olympic rings the 666 referred to in revelations? Are the ten red flags of the CCP in China the ten horns of the dragon in revelations? I don't know. I wouldn't go crazy thinking about stupid shit if I could avoid it though. And I don't want to go crazy worrying about women, especially my wife. Anyway not sure what's wrong with Tim's wife but he says she's gone mad and he always looked overly zealous and unclear on sound Christian principles.
But the main principle is don't covet Sharri Markson's husband's wife Sharri, because she's too hot. Just avert your eyes. I do it every summer in the northern beaches because the women are all in bikinis and too hot. Sometimes you just get mesmerised by all that flesh though. Teenage girls actually twerk for me in bikinis as I pull up in the bus. Then I scold them as I'm old enough to be they dad.
So anyway, Ben from church is recommending a passage from Luke:
Bruce will be preaching from Luke 1:1-4 at Newington. Both passages speak into the confidence we can have. See what Dr Luke writes at the beginning of this magnificent 2-part series: “With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught” (Luke 1:3-4).

Introduction
1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled[a] among us, 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.
The Birth of John the Baptist Foretold
5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the Lord’s commands and decrees blamelessly. 7 But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.
8 Once when Zechariah’s division was on duty and he was serving as priest before God, 9 he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to go into the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And when the time for the burning of incense came, all the assembled worshipers were praying outside.
11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense. 12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear. 13 But the angel said to him: “Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. 14 He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, 15 for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. 16 He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous—to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.”
18 Zechariah asked the angel, “How can I be sure of this? I am an old man and my wife is well along in years.”
19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news. 20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”
21 Meanwhile, the people were waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the temple. 22 When he came out, he could not speak to them. They realized he had seen a vision in the temple, for he kept making signs to them but remained unable to speak.
23 When his time of service was completed, he returned home. 24 After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. 25 “The Lord has done this for me,” she said. “In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.”
The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”
34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”
35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[b] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.
Mary Visits Elizabeth
39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!”
Mary’s Song
46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49 for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
just as he promised our ancestors.”
56 Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months and then returned home.

Is it far right racism if you're noticing Pakistani grooming gangs kidnapping and raping large amounts of ethnically English teenage girls? I don't think so.
Should governments be virtue signalling about the terrorist threat while turning a blind eye to the terrorist threat posed by the transgender movement being forced onto kids? Parents being arrested for trying to stop their children being castrated by a doctor? Who's the terrorist? It's the transgender lobby surely?
