Apologies for the slight delay - I was distracted becuase a man who is doing a CCTV survey of our drains turned up ealier than I'd expected.  The registration number of his van is POO 4 CAM.

Anyway, enough of that.  Here we have 11 carefully-constructed defsof the word PULLIKINS, only one of which came from my dictionary.  Please vote for your two favourites by public reply to this message, before the deadline of:

~Bending under the weight of His mercies~

This life is temporary. This life is short.  When this life is over, our bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to live forever.  Where will the “real you” live?  Will you live for all eternity separated from God?  Or will you spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven?   Learn more so you can make your most important decision:

4 and 9, please.

Best wishes,
Tim Bourne.
