An addendum to the long voicemail. I have stated that Fritz Erbe was in the tower a few hundred feet from where Martin Luther translated the New Testament into German. It was apparently with Luther’s endorsement. He died in the tower after seven years. We are about at seven years. I’m in excellent health. I found out today that Erbe was in the tower for seven years, but in prison for 16. Perhaps I have a long time to go, but again I have a nicer hole. Erbe read the Scripture Luther translated, proclaimed it, and lived it as best he could. It was illegal for someone without credentials to do so, and what he proclaimed went against the institution. Some followed him and many others died, typically much quicker. Most abandoned him. Ecc 1:9-11.

Dorothy-Jane, I love you!
