153 There are some numbers that stick in your head. My wife wishes there were other numbers that would do that for me - like birthdays; anniversary, that sort of thing, but they don’t seem to. I could never retain that sort of information but with him it was different. I could remember all the … Continue reading Breakfast at the beach (Peter’s Story) – inspired by John 21:1-14
