Was it Lot's wife who was supposedly turned into a pillar of salt? Or am I imagining that?

It was, Ann. When Lot and his wife were fleeing Sodom, his wife looked back on Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt.

Hi Jane, the name Job rhymes with lobe (as in ear lobe).

It is not pronounced job (as in work)

While searching for chilrden of James and Barbra I found a son -

Zorobabel ! Another name from the Bible. As it turns out, NOT one of my rellies.
