Hello,

It’s been a busy week again. I got a new smartphone and it takes time to get it all working. It’s a Moto G5 with dual Sim cards. Reasonably priced but it’s also a good performing phone. While it definitely falls into the category of 1st world problems it does make the day nicer to have a better performing cell phone.  Especially if like me, you use a lot of apps.  I even have my Bible on the cell phone using “And Bible” easily my favorite bible app. It’s available at the Google App Store.

This week the topic is going to be rivers. Rivers were very important in Biblical times both for water itself, transport, and as natural defensive boundaries,. So this week we are going to take a look at Bible events that happened by a river. So let’s gather at the river and do some trivia.
