DEAD SEA SCROLLS

What gives very big joy to me is that with the discovery of these scrolls it's been possible to confirm the accuracy  (95%) of what we can read today in the Bible(old testament) that's been transcribed for centuries by monks in monasteries who worked on these transcriptions on a 24/7 basis generation after generation.
I cannot hide my pride if I don't say that my son Brent (a post is coming on the B. people in my life) took home a bible to read and learned to say by heart the famous psalm "the Lord is my shepherd" to which I can only comment that I wish I could be his shepherd - like any father is for his children - but this is going to soon be corrected. People like his mother who don't take the bible seriously are going to experience what my sista (one of the B. I'll be posting about) used to say as comment when we were talking about my friend Iacopo. All I say is that - even if I'll pass over after her - I'll be the one (as soul) who will move her from her chosen nothingness - or idling state - into heaven with me forever.
