Thought for August

On holiday recently in France, I was lucky to be able to stand and watch the Tour de France ride through a local town. The wait had been a long one and the day very hot.

Genesis: Chapter 5

We also talked about the lifespan of the first descendants of Adam. It was interesting to see that Adam lived for 930 years and saw the birth of Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah and Lamech. Adam also saw many of his descendants choosing to follow their own way rather than the way of God.
