NOAH IS OUR GRANDPA, the Bible says. We’re all related to him since his family is the only one the Bible says survived the worldwide flood. So why don’t we look like him? Why do some of us look like the relative nobody in the family wants to talk …
I JUST GOT BACK from watching the movie “Noah,” with my wife. I don’t recommend it. The movie. Or watching it with my wife. She jumps too much. The movie didn’t scare me. My wife did. She’d get excited when I wouldn’t, ‘cause I’m relaxed watching …
