This book takes an amazing journey of senior citizens in the Bible. Let’s take a few minutes to see what we saw about them. We found not one, but two, aged couples who became first-time parents: Abraham and Sarah from the Old Testament, and Zacharias and Elizabeth in the New Testament. I sure hope God… Continue reading SENIORS’ SUMMARY

A LONELY REVELATION
The gavel fell hard and loud. “You shall live out your life in isolation on the island of Patmos. A ration of food will be delivered to you as needed. No visitors may come to you. Are there any requests?” John swallowed as he looked in the judge’s eyes. “Only one, your honor. May I… Continue reading A LONELY REVELATION
A REMINDER
“But, I’ve never dictated a letter before.” Peter turned toward his friend. “That’s okay. All you have to do is keep some notes about what I say. It may come across as being in your own words.

THE LAST LETTER
Paul waited for Luke’s eyes to open from his nap. He raised a hand to wipe a tear from his eye.

“Are you sure He’s dead?” “A soldier pierced His side. He never flinched. The spirit has left Him. Yes, He’s dead.” “What do we do now? We can’t leave Him there.

Faithfulness Rewarded
Simeon awoke with a smile on his face. “In my calculations it’s been forty days since the angels appeared to the shepherds near Bethlehem.

A DELAYED BLESSING
Elizabeth set the ingredients out for her special unleavened bread. Zacharias would be home soon. She knew how much he loved her fresh bread. The 23rd Psalm hummed from her mouth. A hand on each side startled her. Flour went everywhere, including her hair. She spun around and found her husband smiling from ear-to-ear. She noticed… Continue reading A DELAYED BLESSING
AN INITIAL DOUBT
Zacharias strained to see the lots as they were cast to see who would be chosen to present the incense offering in the temple. It was a long time since he’d been in the mix this far along. Others started chanting his name to try to get the lots to cast in his favor. He… Continue reading AN INITIAL DOUBT
