                    	In this genealogy, there are 4 women mentioned.  Now, it is unusual enough to find women listed in a Jewish genealogy, but if you were to look for matriarchs listed in ancestors of Jesus, you would expect to find godly women; women like Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel, and Leah.  These 4 women stand out

                    I heard an interview by Brett Favre this past week.  He talked about his father and football.  The reporter asked, “How has your father’s death affected you and the others on the team?”  (It was something like that.)  Brett responded that he had always said that there is more to life than football.
