Point of information: this weekend was chosen as the equivalent point of the year to the Coronation in 1953. That was 59 years ago, because it was not celebrated till 16 months after she became Queen in 1952. Like a large majority of Brits, I cannot remember a time when she was not the Queen. And yet … and I really don't get this Passage of Time thing at all … I can remember as a 3-year-old watching her Coronation on next door's tiny black and white TV, along with 19 others crammed into a small living room. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Kings%2010:1&version=NIV 2009-09-11T13:30:15-05:00 Solomon's wisdom and wealth--gifts to him from God--were so magnificent that they attracted the notice of other rulers in the ancient world. In this passage, the Queen of Sheba comes to hear Solomon's famous wisdom for herself.
