Bible Note: Makarios (affectionately known to me as Nolan): I'm reminded of the words to a song that was popular when I was a young man (during the Civil War, I think it was), and they went like this: "Those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine." ..... Well, they do still. When the love bug bites, there's no known antidote and no known cure. And that's good! The only thing I know that's better than being young and in love is being old and still being in love with the same woman. So we both, Nolan, you and I, are in a happy state indeed! ..... I'm sure Katie is just as elated as you are, and she should be. She's getting a young man than whom I know none finer. And although I and the rest of your friends here, we Forum Irregulars, will miss your fine and frequent contributions to the Forum, we old married guys break out in a chorus of "Precious Memories" in remembrance of times past. We recall with tenderness how it is with a young man and his maid. And it is we, not Katie, who rightfully should be playing second fiddle. Drop in to see us on occasion, as time and Katie will permit, but be assured we understand that Katie comes first. God bless you and Katie and bless your forthcoming sacred union as husband and wife. What God has joined together, let not man put asunder. Love and hugs to both you and Katie. --Hank |
