In the Bible, Matthew 24:36 says, "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only". This verse is about when the Son of Man will come, and it compares it to the days of Noah. In Noah's time, people were eating, drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage until the day the flood came and took them all away. The verse says that when the Son of Man comes, it will be similar, and that people will not know what will happen until it happens.

Part 1Byron is back and full of......stories about her trip (what were you thinking?) There's so much to unpack since she left & not just her suitcase. Alicia wants to know everything. Every. Thing. From there they turn to what's going on in the US since she left & are introduced to the idea of the downed tower. The episode ends on a cliffhanger when Alicia announces that she bought something....

Firm tofu toss with peanut butter and then toss in steamed broccoli. sometimes i chop up onion in that too.
Get a brie. Put a dollop of some kind of jam with it & put it in the oven till it gets soft.
