Excerpt from: Meeting a Community
“You’re new here?”
“Just moved to Macquarie Vale.
I needed to find a Church.”
“This is a good place for
fellowship. It’s growing and the messages are always firmly based in
Scripture,” Daniel said.
“That’s good,” Benjamin said.
He considered that he had followed the Lord’s leading to the place where He
wanted him to go.
“We have been here for a
while,” Daniel added.

Excerpt from: Haunted Eyes
He knew that learning a new language was difficult! As he
rubbed the sore spot, he considered that he was still nervous himself. He
looked back to her and saw that she was starting to breath quicker.
He grabbed her hands in a comforting gesture. Relax.
She calmed down, and the spark returned to her eyes. He decided that it was
time. No point in delaying it. He then asked if she would like a dance.
She agreed with a nod, of course. They then walked
to the dance floor hand in hand.
‘This will be a good night,’ he thought as they rubbed
each other’s lower cheeks while dancing slowly.

Challenge
“What’s the matter, son?” Quark asked as he lead Jake to
one of the holosuites.
“Nothing you’d understand,” Jake shot back.
“Nog told me about the writing assignment. I understand
plenty. You want to impress Mrs. O’Brien, is that it?”
“Yes. But I don’t think a Ferengi mindset would help me

“What do you mean?” Quark asked, slightly offended. Hu-mon’s!
Always thinking they’re better than everyone else!
“I mean. I’ve looked at your inventory of holo-programs.
The one’s that are suitable for all ages I mean.”
“And?”
“And they are all based on similar storylines. Only the
characters and settings are different.”
“People buy what they like. So, the writers write what
they like. Simple business sense.”
“Is that a Rule of Acquisition?”
“No,” Quark admitted with a shake of his head. “But it
should be. But I don’t think Zek would want to add it.”
“Back to my point. I suppose almost all of Ferengi
entertainment is full of the same storylines that are rehashed every so often
to capture the market of a new generation with latinum to spend?”
“You’re right. You know, you’re surprisingly astute in
this matter.”
“Look at Earth’s history. You’ll find that the film
industry in California was like that from the late 20th century
onwards,” Jake said as they arrived at the holosuite.
