85. She (and we) are more about simple pleasures...a good meal out is quite the deal for us

Now, I want ALL of you who read this blog to do this. YOU do the first 80 (more or less) and ask your spouse to do the rest....it's a lot of fun to see what they come up with! :)

So, I'm siting here, preparing my Sunday School lesson for tomorrow morning (oops...it's almost 1 in the morning...I guess it's THIS morning).... We are talking about God's patience...

The story is about Noah, and how God was patient with His people, and waited for them to repent before sending the flood...

BUT, what I have failed to realize (or remember) was how old Noah was...

Do you know...Noah was 500 years old before he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth?

AND, the even CRAZIER thing.... He built a GIGANTIC ark at the young age of like 560 years old? Can you believe that? A 560 year old man building an ark, the size of who knows what....

It was just something I thought worth sharing.....
