Hello,

Once again at my Mom’s house. She is doing well but we had a funeral to attend. It was one of my few remaining Aunts at one time I had 26 Aunts and uncles down to 1 Aunt and 1 Uncle left. Doing double duty with it being my birthday weekend as well. It was the unbirthday this year as we are busy at work and no time for a party. I’ll catch up next year. Hopefully when I retire.

Since I am now a senior citizen (mid 60’s) The topic this week is old men of the Bible.

Thanks for the comments and questions. I always enjoy them because it means people are reading.
