And the men you’d hire if you had to build?’ He gave a laugh and said, `No indeed! Common labor is all I ...read more

And the Gentiles gladly received this ...read more

It takes no time to knock out those old windows or that old kitchen but it takes much longer to replace them. Gerald ...read more
