Those who know me know that I like to use memory aids (mnemonic devices) in order to recall various things. Years ago, I came up with the name “Gage” (pronounced/emphasized with a long a for the two “a” cities) to remember the five cities of the Phillistines.
This past Wednesday evening, I was reviewing various things and up came the five cities (Gath, Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gaza, and Ekron) of the Phillistines. I laughed because the very next day I was having lunch with my dear friend Cliff Wilson, who is a pilot for Southwest. It turns out that Cliff’s son is named Gage (pictured below). Does he look like a Phillistine to you? I think not!
He has been know to act Phillistinesque at times…
Me too!
Oh… this is great. I love it. Love the picture, and love to hear about your study of God’s word. You are a great encouragement to Cliff and me in so many ways! I hope we can all have lunch together sometime soon. Miss you greatly.
Oh… and I forgot to say that I also love that picture of you at the top of your blog. Makes me smile every time.
Thanks Christi! Hope to see you guys soon!
