Gives me something to do since I’m no longer writing.

Your mention of ‘pestilence’ reminded me of the verse I read this morning in Luke 21:11 The word is used differently between my NIV and my fairly new Jewish/Christian Study Bible. The NIV uses “pestilences” while the Jewish Bible calls it “epidemics” … such as we have today! I’d purchased “The Complete Jewish Study Bible, insights for Jews & Christians” shortly before having my DNA tested. I was surprised and pleased to verify not only my Native American heritage, but to an even a greater extent my Jewishness. I had no idea! Although I’ve been unable to pin down which tribe I’ve descended from, I suspected it may have been Simon. Simon’s tribe sought safely in and around France during one of the major persuasions. I knew my grandfather’s people were Huguenots who fled to England after being run out of France. The further back I’ve gone in Ancestry.com the more Jewish names I find. My 1845 pioneering g g grandfather’s name was Jarius (Jesus healed Jarius’ daughter) Abijah (Solomon’s wicked grandson) Bonney (decidedly French).

Stay well you two and keep standing with the grieving. Too bad it’s curtailed your travels though. At 88+ I’m content now to remain at home…well, for the most part.
