Preaching And Reading The Old Testament Lessons
I know a woman whose husband was an alcoholic - I say "was" because the husband is dead now; he drank himself to death. While he was still alive, however, the husband would seek out his "drinking partner," a woman who lived across the street, and the two of them would party together, kissing and dancing and drinking until they both passed out. In fact, it was at such a get--together that the husband had a heart attack and died. That forced the party woman, in absolute panic, to call the dead man's wife and to tell her where and how her husband had died. But it was no surprise to the wife.
