Luke 8:1 Soon afterwards, he went
about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of
God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve, 2 and certain women who had been
healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from
whom seven demons had gone out; 3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s
steward; Susanna; and many others; who served them from their possessions. That's all the Bible says about her, as far as I can tell. But she was important, and so were many people who weren't even mentioned in the Bible.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
