The civil service will be just fine. What makes it bad is people like those envious negative blogers.
Continue the good works David. Who God bless no man curse. You are covered by prayer. Just do your best and leave the rest to Jehovah God.
Myself and as I was told many others have experienced Mr. Archer's disregards towards 'Nation First' enterprising. Mr. Archer must remember that life is not about wealth and diplomacy and that the nation's people must come before all else'.
(For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? Matthew 16:26) So you have attended church all your life and so have your family does these visits give God's wisdom? 'No' wisdom is a gift. I pray that God will guide, and allow Mr. Archer to make wisher choices as it relates to the nation's natural resources, his people etc.
I congratulate you Deputy Governor and support you with my whole heart.
Seems to have been the plan
great job.
