Wouldn’t You………….??

Suppose you were accustomed to hearing from someone routinely, say once a week or every two weeks, via e-mail if nothing else.  Then, for no apparent reason that you are smart enough to figure out, or that you care enough to figure out, you don’t have any communication for 4 months………none whatsoever!  As if that [...]

Plopping Points……..or Our Brook Besor #2

To continue from last night’s post.
“David and the remaining 400 fighters resume the chase.  They plunge deeper and deeper, growing more discouraged with each passing sand dune.  The Amalekites have a large lead and have left no clues.  But then David hits the jackpot.  “They found an Egyptian in the field and brought him to [...]
