The touches of humor, I appreciate them.

Bonus: the gang's all here. 😁

That time when interesting characters keep a tight hold on ya and won't let go. Yup!

We haven't advanced much at all in some ways...
Q: History continues to swirl around us, shaping attitudes, beliefs, prejudices, and world-views. So it is that the word of God revealed... in the 7th century still affects the everyday lives of men and women living in the era of the smartphone and self-driving car.

This ends on the eve of the Battle of Hastings and, even though I know a lot about that, I wanted this to keep going. Historians who are good storytellers are my kryptonite. :D

Ugh! So good. Two people who have seen and experienced a lot, giving each other breathing room to begin dealing and unburdening. ❤️
