Today I read the first half of Acts 18 from the ruins of Corinth, in Greece. If you zoom in between the columns you’ll see how, despite Corinth being in abject ruin, the legacy of Paul continues, as pictured by the Orthodox church in the distance. Tomorrow is Athens, and I’ll flip back to Acts 17.

Matt. 28:11-15 While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.

Here's a baffling fact:
Africa's area: 30.37 million km²
Europe's area: 10.53 million km²
Right so Africa is thrice the size yet...
Africa's coastline: 30,000km long
Europe's coastline: 68,000km long
Europe has 6x the coastline for it's size. Africa has an unlucky shape.
