Christ IS the New Testament (1 of 29)

When they returned, Tony continued our tour. He provided a close up examination of the chopper. His was a small four-seater. But one of the rear seats was filled with camera equipment. He would sit in the other, observe monitors and dials in front of him, and operate three different cameras, while providing live news shots for the evening telecast of the station. I was comforted to be told that the odd-looking rhino-horn-appearing thing that pro ...
