Larry, You sound like a very wise man. If you are married (or have a concubine!), your mate is a lucky woman! Linda (Lambert)Hamid P.S. I agree, nice to see this list so lively! -----Original Message----- From: Larry/Jo Pace [mailto:pacefondawcolorado@juno.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 03, 2001 3:44 PM To: LAMBERT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [LAMBERT] F W Lamberts concubine?? Concubine? Solomon had many, my Mormon ancestors were called polygamists if they had concubines, the Bibles of many religions talk about concubines. No wonder Solomon was so wise, he learned a lot from all his concubines. Put a lot of intelligent women together and one man capable of listening and learning, thus Solomon became the Father of Wisdom. Dr. Laura of non-political-correctness calls concubines of this modern day, "Shack-up-honey's" and that definition does not seem to embarass a large portion of today's population. Never seen the Lambert's so lively, but it is fun to read about the realites of life and wonder if my Ruth Lambert could be discovered with a fresh approach.
