During the summer months, school is no longer in session, nor is CCD. People spend time reading best sellers and light novels if they read at all, and many believe that some people’s minds get lazy. This might be especially true about out faith and religion. Just to keep everyone sharp, therefore, I am pulling a quickie quiz on the bible to keep you on your toes! Just because I am away in Rome doesn't mean I am not keeping an eye on you!

1. Who was the greatest financier in the Bible?
2. Who was the greatest female financier in the Bible?
3. What kind of person was Boaz before he got married?
4. What kind of motor vehicles are in the Bible?
5. Who was the greatest comedian in the Bible?
6. How did Adam and Eve feel when they were expelled from the Garden of Eden?
7. What is one of the first things Adam and Eve did after they were kicked out of the Garden?
8. What excuse did Adam give his children as to why they no longer lived in Eden?
9. Who is the greatest baby-sitter mentioned in the Bible?
10. Who was the most precocious baby in the Bible?

Bonus Question:
11. What is the best way to get to Paradise?

Answers: 1. Noah, he was floating his stock while everyone else was liquidating.
2. Pharaoh’s daughter, who went down to the bank of the Nile and drew out a little prophet.
3. Ruth-less.
4. Honda, the apostles were all in one Accord (Acts 2:1).
5. Samson, he brought down the house.
6. They were really put out.
7. They raised Cain.
8. He said “Your mother ate us out of house and home.”
9. David, he rocked Goliath to sleep.
10. Jeremiah, he cursed the day he was born.

And the bonus:
11. Turn right and Go straight.

If you got 70% or better, you passed. If you did not, say five Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, read 5 chapters of Scripture, and go to Church in the morning.

PS - I do miss you all. I will be present as Archbishop Wuerl receives his pallium here in Rome on Thursday, and will be headed home in time for Independence Day.
