Hi Procla. Oh yes, that one was the quote of all quotes and still gives me goosebumps when I hear it.

Care to share the significance/story behind your user name?

Hi Tommy,

Re my user name, I am always fascinated by people in the Bible (or anywhere else) who are mentioned once, and very significantly, but then we hear nothing more about them. One such is the wife of Pontius Pilate, who is mentioned the one time in the Gospel of Saint Matthew, as advising her husband about the troubling dream she had concerning Jesus. Though she is unnamed in the gospel account, I had read somewhere (not sure where exactly) that she was known as Procla. Later, I learned that she was also known as Procula or Procula Claudia, but I had already signed up with my user name as ‘Procla’. I have also since read that this lady is venerated as a saint in the Oriental Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church.
 
My username is my real name with random numbers added.

My avatar is pretty much self explanatory. I absolutely love sharks. In particular, the Great White. 🦈 There’s something about that creature that I find extraordinary and fascinating. An awesome creature!

Thanks for sharing and explaining, Mark. It’s appropriate that you weigh in the week before ‘Shark Week’ commences in the U.S.

Call me crazy, but I’d rather admire them from afar. The guy in the kayak in that photo is a little too close for comfort for me.
 
We’re glad you haven’t been deported from CAF, (name removed by moderator). 👍

Sorry that happened to your ancestors. Where I live, many can trace a part of their heritage back to the ‘Trail of Tears’, which also was a deportation scenario.

And “I like to be on land.”
