Happy Sunday! I'm writing to you from a state of utter exhaustion, folks! That's right, I've lovingly sacrificed my beloved Sunday nap for a flurry of festive activity at the Methodist of snoozing when you can be hanging wreaths and stringing lights instead? Not me, that's for sure. But, as it turns out, someone's gotta keep the church looking merry and bright, and that someone is me, and of course, the team of merry elves who helped me put up the decorations— a huge thank you to them for their hard work and patient smiles.

Athens, Greece, has alwaysbeenaculturalcenter. But in the early years of the church, and for many years before, Athens, with its magnificent buildings and many gods, was also the center of philosophy and education. Philosophers and educated men were always ready to hear something new. Because of this, the Greeks invited Paul to speak to them at a Council. This was an opportunity for Paul to seek souls for Jesus Christ.
