Reflections- The danger of over-communicating

By Roger Campbell, author, broadcaster and columnist and a pastor for 22 years.

I tend to agree with them- they are redundancy at its best. Unfortunately despite the best efforts of police, and the continual stories in the media, meth has become the drug of choice for those dependent on a fix. It is relatively inexpensive to make, and gives you a high similar to cocaine. In fact it has been termed the “poor man’s cocaine.” What sets [...]
