Re: [FairfieldLife] Gee or Yeah?
Bill Black does some comedic schtick that I find hilarious (not Hal-larious). There's a Biblical question needs resolving and the assembled group has lengthy discussion. Of course, Bill gets in on the act and asks "As you guys are discussing the Old Testament, why not ask a Jew? You know, they walk among you." Ss here's my guess: When Moses was tending his flock on Mount Horeb and stumbled upon the burning bush (could happen this way), he hears the God of the Patriarchs. According to the Old Testament the word God spoke to Moses is Yahweh. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Hal for short. On Thursday, September 18, 2014 6:33 AM, "TurquoiseBee turquoiseb@...
