It’s 12:05 on Monday, September 20. We just boarded our ferry which will take us to the Island of Aegina. We spent the last two days in Athens and were able to visit Mars Hill and see where Paul reasoned and talk to the philosophers of his day presenting Christ as the unknown God that they were seeking to find. Once again we are amazed at how filthy the city is and full of graffiti and trash. When you look at all the evilness around I wonder what Paul was thinking when he walked into the city of Athens. From my perspective it seems hopeless, and yet Paul took the opportunity to reason in the synagogue and then to go to Mars Hill and talk to the philosophers. Other than that we had a relaxing time and ended of course with ice cream.
Our choices are seldom simple or straightforward; right or wrong; yes or no. They are more often complex and conflictive and intertwined with the decisions made by others. (Quote from the book: If I Had It To Do It Over, I Would Pick More Daisies)
Good Morning Sunshine
There are not many do-overs in life, but there are fresh starts. Some are chosen and filled with great excitement while others are just another step in the path the Lord has laid in front of us. Some have said that doing the Will of God is just doing the next thing.
Although this blog is really for me, I trust as I move through transition into Chapter Four of my life, you will ride this roller-coaster with me as a friend and companion and hopefully, we will all grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
