Hello,

Well no really bad news this week but just things going along. My young friend came out and we went to the movies. Girlfriend didn’t want to join us. Oh well. Tried on my Chrome-cast with Amazon Prime. It works pretty well. Did some home repairs as well.

This we are going to have questions about the book of Amos.

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