Noah

Noah

I have not seen the movie, “Noah”, nor do I plan to see it. From listening to people who have seen it, I’d say it doesn’t stick to the biblical account of Noah and the Flood. I love reading the story of Noah from the Book of Genesis. I don’t think Hollywood has improved upon the […]

On Board Your Ship
