January 17th was the 18th Anniversary -- after 23 1/2 years of marriage -- of my new Freedom.
Yes, it was 18 years ago that the judge issued the final decree of divorce that was initiated by my ex-wife. I was telling some of the guys at work about it on Thursday evening.
Well, to my surprise, Friday morning there was an email from my ex-wife. I hardly EVER get emails from her and the title of her email was simply: "Question"
Uh, Oh, I thought to myself as I considered whether to open it or not. What kind of question would she have and why would this email come right around the time of this particular "anniversary," I asked myself.
So, I opened the email and here's what she wanted to know:
"Do you know if the Apostle Paul was ever married?" is what she asked.
Well, I'm somewhat considered to be a little of the Bible scholar in our family, so, the question wasn't too farfetched.
However, the first thing that went through my mind was to respond with:
"Why? Are you after him now?"
But, no, I didn't write that to her although I was really, really close to doing it just to see what would result.
But, if anyone's interested in the genuine answer to the question she asked, it's simply no one really knows for sure. There's no clear indication that he was or wasn't married --although there are hints that can be taken either way.
An Anniversary of Sorts.....
