As most of you know, I’m a “trivia nut.” I’m also a Bible reader. AND I also like to play cards. How do these all fit together for my post this morning?
Most of you know that Johannes Gutenberg was the inventor of the printing press and was famous for printing Bibles. However, before he started printing Bibles, he was printing playing cards for gamblers.
Who knew?

Yes who knew. Perhaps this country singer who sang a song about church, playing cards and what they meant to him. I think you'll really love this song. Let me know what you think of it.
This is a great song by the late Tex Ritter. (January 12, 1905 January 2, 1974) In 1948, "Rye Whiskey" and his cover of "The Deck of Cards" both made the top...
