No Flesh Shall Glory
God does not want us to worship idols but to worship Him. We need to acknowledge the power, presence and authority of God who is at work in our lives. We are a triune being: body, soul and spirit. As God uses us as instruments to the Body of Christ we cant make the mistake and believe that these gifts are ours and others should give us the glory. We have been created by God to worship Him and when we dont we will worship something else. Isaiah 42:8 states I am the Lord; that is My name! And my glory I will not give another, nor My praise to graven images. We need to lift up Jesus. When we lift Jesus up and seek His face then the glory comes. His glory will not come when we are lifting up idols or lifting up a man. We need to return to the basics and the simplicity of the gospel and lift up Jesus. The banner needs to be Jesus. When we deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him then His glory shines through us and others are led to Him.

Tales from Bush Graves – Winton
As the country to the north of Australia was being explored and taken up by men from Victoria and New South Wales hoping to make their fortune, other men were making their way out west, also keen to make good. Sesbania was one of the earliest selections taken up by John and James Nisbett. Douglas Harper was working on Sesbania, when he shot himself, whether accidentally or purposely is unknown. He was an Overseer, and died on 12th November, 1878. This is the earliest recorded death in this book. William Russel Myers was a shearer probably working on Manuka, or making his way there. He died from exhaustion and thirst on 3rd December, 1878. George Laxton who was a blacksmith, died at Mills Creek, also from thirst and exhaustion. He was probably walking to the next job, but died on 16th February, 1879, and was buried at Mills Creek, on Manuka. These three were just the beginning of dozens of men, women and children who lost their lives through thirst, exhaustion, accident, fever and murder. This book was written to record their lives and deaths in the Winton area of western Queensland.
Tales from Bush Graves
It will never be known just how many men, women and children have died and lie buried in the bush. Many of the deaths were not registered, and they are known only because the local paper reported on them. It was not the selector who lost his life, but usually men who had no idea how harsh the country could be, and consequently took risks by walking between stations looking for work, most times with very little water, and not much idea of where they were going. Many of the men were suffering from alcohol related problems. Most deaths were caused by fever, accidents, suicide, and murder. The women followed their men, enduring the harsh conditions and sometimes not seeing another white woman for years. They died during child birth, usually the baby died as well. Young children succumbed to the harsh conditions, dying of convulsions, poisoning, and accidents.
Tales from Bush Graves – Cloncurry
There are many lonely graves and isolated cemeteries scattered throughout the North Western area of Queensland. This book represents only a small gathering of information from a cross-section of outback inhabitants. Northwest Queensland is a very hard, harsh, rugged part of Australia, which has a strange beauty about it. Rocks and Spinifex surround the hills and valleys, with wide open plains and rivers. With fast cars and wide open roads the modern traveller can be forgiven for forgetting the days of the coach routes, and bush tracks that crisscrossed the country. The lonely miners and bush men who opened up much of this beautiful country and the black men who fought to keep the white man o...
Murder's Take
Dr. Patricia Peterson, a promising young archeology professor at Berkeley, has made an astounding disovery--an unspoiled tomb in the Valley of the Kings. She and her academic partner, Dr. Roberta Burns, are just tidying up the details of the dig with Egypt's Department of Antiquities when Pat must fly home to Palo Alto, California for her sister's wedding. On the eve of her return to Egypt,a violent stormy night, Roberta lands on the doorstep of Pat's brother's home, demanding Pat's half to the combination for the locked gate to the tomb. Pat refuses. A struggle ensues, complicated by the loyal intervention of Pat's sheepdog, Sam, leaving Pat dying, Sam injured, and Roberta without the combination. Sam-dog, the welcome guest of Pat's brother and family, and the unwelcome pest of the family cat, Samantha, must not only recover from his wounds and accept the death of his master, but overcome his hatred and mistrust for Samantha the cat. Sam-cat, too, must swallow her distaste for the canine species, become Sam-dog's partner, and communicate Roberta's treachery to her human family before Roberta returns, putting what is left of her family in danger.
