Old People Activity
Old people activity was the name of a worksheet I used in Bible class recently with a lesson on Rehoboam. It had a list of people in the Old Testament with scripture references to find their age. I couldn’t imagine living to be 950 years old like Noah (Genesis 9:29) or even 127 years like…
