Philemon (New Testament person)
Philemon (/fɪˈliːmən, faɪ-/; Greek: Φιλήμων) was an early Christian in Asia Minor who was the recipient of a private letter from Paul of Tarsus. This letter is known as Epistle to Philemon in the New Testament. He is known as a saint by several Christian churches along with his wife Apphia.
Philemon was a wealthy Christian and a minister (possibly a bishop) of the house church that met in his home.
The Menaia of 22 November speak of Philemon as a holy apostle who, in company with Apphia, Archippus, and Onesimus had been martyred at Colossae during the first general persecution in the reign of Nero.
In the list of the Seventy Apostles, attributed to Dorotheus of Tyre, Philemon is described as bishop of Gaza.

The Things That I Forgot
by: WillamenaWell I don’t like taking pictures
‘cause I don’t like to admit
That someday I’ll be older
And there’ll be times that I forget
So I don’t keep a scrapbook
‘cause I don’t need that weight
Well the memories are like ghosts
And they haunt me when it’s late
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
But I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot
But I got a couple pictures
Because sometimes I like to see
How I looked when I was younger
‘cause I didn’t look that way to me
And my daddy he kept a scrapbook
And I’d leaf through once in a while
Those old black and white pictures
Of wedding cakes and sisters
Yeah, they make me smile
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
And I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot, yeah
Give me back those simple days
Back when we used to dream
And I dream for more than I have
I want more than I got
And I believe in the simple things
Yeah the things that I forgot
Well the things that I forgot
