Mid-March

This middle week of March is always interesting to me. March 15 is the Ides of March, which was a tough day for Julius Caesar.

March 16 is 3-16, the address of my favorite Bible verse, John 3:16. March 17 is St Pat's Day. My Grandma Marshall's ancestors fled Ireland to keep from being drafted into the British army to fight against the USA in the War of 1812.

March 18 is the address of what Dr Harold Renfrow, missionary to Brazil, considered the Bible's most important verse, John 3:18. We had spirited discussions comparing my favorite verse with his. Poor verse 17 never was mentioned.

March 20 is my wedding anniversary. This will be number forty for us.
