That signs themselves do not create safety it says in a column in our local paper, The Northland Age, Thursday, March 10, 2016)

NO SCOOTERS, NO SKATEBOARDS, NO BIKES

The signs mentioned are the advisory signs the Far North District Council has put up near schools to enforce lower speed zones outside schools.

Seeing more signs on our footpaths recently reminded me of the column in the newspaper. The signs on the footpaths say: No scooters, no skateboards, no bikes on the footpaths.

Just as signs themselves do not create safety, signs themselves do not keep people with scooters, skateboards and bikes off the footpaths. ( I see that myself and I have also been told.)

Obedience to the law of the land and obedience to the commandments of the Lord Jesus Christ does all that.

Only 25 cents I paid for the book in a second-hand shop. There are several of them in Kaitaia.

I have started reading it and it has been a blessing already. HUNGRY FOR GOD is the title of the book and the author is Ralph Martin. The introduction is written by David Winter.

On page 46 the author points out the  importance of understanding the  Father-Son relationship.

The recommended price for the book here in New Zealand is $2.50. I say again, the best books in my small library come from second-hand shops.
