Bible challenge - "Plagues and Afflictions"




Good Morning to All!

First, I want to thank y'all for bearing with me while I had to spend most of my time since Friday in bed. I woke up Friday morning with Cellulitis (a baterial infection in my right leg). The doctor gave me a strong shot, put me on "bed rest", heat packs 3 times a day and 2000 mg. of Antibiotics (2- 500 mg K-flex, twice a day). At least the fever is gone, but it is still tender to the touch and painful to walk on. Anyway, I thought I had better get back to my "somewhat" routine before y'all thought I had deserted you.

On with the "Bible Challenge".
