This photo was made just a few months before my mother completed her 80th year. Now I am nearing 80 and appear much older than she seemed here.
One might wonder how such a topic could be used in a daily Bible study; of what value is it? Would Christians be moved to search the subject in a paranormal sense?[i] We often speak casually about some other person we meet being our double, our twin, maybe even our second-self, but do we really mean that? Why is appearance and behavior so important? If a child bears my name, am I more concerned with how they move and speak?
