Isaiah 43:7
Years ago, I heard a story about a lawyer. He was on an airplane ride from New York City to Los Angeles, and seated next to him was a blonde lady. And, ah, he knew it was going to be a long flight, and he was just kind of bored, and so he engaged the blonde lady in a, in a conversation.

She pulls out her purse, grabs $5.00, and gives him $5.00. He laughs. He said, ''All right, now it's your turn.'' She said, ''Okay.''
