If I thought about it, I would have realized that Martin Luther and George Fox had wives, but I didn't know anything about them. I had heard of Mrs. Bethune, but I didn't actually know much about her. I was also interested in learning about Mrs. Berry and Mrs. Smith. All of them were certainly remarkable women, and well worth remembering!
Paul Nelson's remarks were interesting, especially so now to me, as our church group visited the Creation Museum just last week. I'll write it up in my blog when I can gather my thoughts.
I enjoyed the article about valuable items found in thrift stores. I am a big fan of Antiques Roadshow.
I'll have to reread The Shack, it's been a few years.
Alien treaties -- hmmm. Have the aliens signed those treaties? I think not. ;-)
Yes, those women were remarkable.
No, the aliens haven't signed any such treaties. (As far as we know . . .)
I'll watch for your thoughts about Is Genesis History?
As always, thanks for your thoughtful and generous comments.
