Hello,

Well thanksgiving was a busy and it’s amazing I have time to keep writing. It was fun, we spent it with my wife’s family and had a very nice time. They boys are still here and we watched some wrestling last night.

This week let’s talk about oil in the Bible. While they did not use the type of oil currently in the news they used many animal and plant based oils in Bible life.

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