Confer Genesis 31, especially verses 19 and 34. ----please, draw me a sheep---- Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Lares and Penates LukeJavan8 #182155 01/29/2009 5:27 PM Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 107 USA, North Carolina PastorVon member PastorVon member Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 107 USA, North Carolina Not illness.
