We've been celebrating four decades worth of life in our home this week (which explains the lack of posts on this blog). As I labored over what to buy a man who really doesn't want anything, I ended up blasting back to the past, heh: a fairly inexpenseive plug-and-play console with the video games of our youth (which are a heck of lot less expensive and oh-so-much easier to play than the GameBoy my daughter excells at) and an even less expensive lava lamp. I'm not sure whether to be pleased with low cost of these items or wonder if their low cost is somehow a comment on the icons of my youth. Urm.
So Paul took his stand in the open space at the Areopagus and laid it out for them: "I'm here to introduce you to this God.... He doesn't play hide-and-seek with us. He's not remote; he's near. We live and move in him, can't get away from him!" ~Acts 17
