Great stuff and comedy, too

One thing I love about Plum Creek is that it refuses to take itself seriously.

I haven't gushed over Bob for a while, and I won't take time to today considering I'm in charge of Care Group supper tonight AND I have to get the rest of my stuff ready for my NKU class tomorrow night, but I have to write this down before I forget it.

We are on Genesis 5. This is the book with the first genealogy, and we used a timeline to see just HOW all these folks overlapped. It was surprising to see that Methuselah, for example, was a contemporary of both Adam and Noah. (Reasons for that are great, but alas...) Someone pointed out, though, that Methuselah lived until the Flood, so the question arose, "Did he DIE in the Flood?"

Bob's answer was, "We'll discuss that in a little bit when we discuss the meaning of Methuselah's name and such."

Dave Wecker, the columnist from the Cincy Post, was at the next table. His response was, "It means, 'I can't swim.'"
