One of my favorite Old Testament passages. It is just overflowing with life lessons. You could have taken this in most any direction but left us with the basic facts of the matter. By the way, I saw your remarks to Paul regarding his Kent State poem…absolutely floored me. John

I've become a reporter, instead of an 'analyst.' Good move on my part, I think... As for Kent State: I was gobsmacked myself. Shows you what cancel culture can do, eh? Have a great weekend, John. ~ Gershon

An eye opener for me. Family squabbles evidently existed in biblical times. A good poem.

thanks for refreshing my memory about the Biblical verses you referenced. Geez, imagine that. The Bible contains truth. Oh my :-) Enjoy your day, Sara
