Good evening,
The world has changed since last Sunday.
I retired. Thank you to Poole Mennonite Church
I left for a European tour for two weeks, the very next day.
We were once again shown great hospitality by our friends in Utrecht.
I saw another 20 original Van Gogh paintings in the Kroller-Muller in Otterloo.
Mr. Trump raised tariffs on everyone including Antarctica , but not Russia.
The Israelis have killed more Palestinian children.
We met 14 new people today, who are going on our 500 year anniversary Anabaptist tour.
For the tour, I am going to be reflecting on the book of Acts, the first ‘ Lonely Planet ‘ tour guide. I hope to see and hear new things from others and myself. Seeing through the lens of today and the 1500’s. I will again hold the bible lightly, so I may be in the mood of changing my mind rather than re-enforcing already held beliefs.
The author of the book of Acts is the same as Luke. He is writing to Theophilus:
” Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.” Luke 1
