Fauntleroy and California
So, I saw this and was naturally reminded of the Supreme Court. Earlier this year there was a case called Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc. Texas sells specialty license plates on which people can put a message of their choice. Anyone who likes that message can pay extra to those plates.… Continue reading Fauntleroy and California

Ephesus
This was the largest theater in Ionia, the part of ancient Greece that was in Turkey. Paul the apostle had a gig here that did not go well.As a change of pace, Paul was chased out of town by an angry mob of pagans rather than of Jews. It seems he violated the precept set… Continue reading Ephesus
