Mayday Monday: Where Mayday reprints a Biblical Crisis.
Reflection: Only ten generations (circa 1700 years**?) to get to the flood! How many years to get from the promise of 1776 American to the corruptions of today?
5 ¶ And GOD saw that the wickedness of man had become great in the earth, and every man was lifted up in the imagination of the thoughts of his heart; being only evil continually.-------------------------------------/
6 And it repented Noah and his heart was pained, that the LORD had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth Noah that I have created them, and made them; and he hath called upon me for they have sought his life.
8 And thus, Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.***
