I thought I was hot stuff last night when I called my Father and began discussing some of my devotions from the book of Acts. I was rattling on about Phillip and how he ran to witness to the Ethiopian eunuch, and then after baptizing him, the Lord made him disappear and show up in a different place to continue his work (Look it up, Acts 8).
So here I am pretending to be a scholar to the Old Man when all of a sudden, without my knowing it, he completely hijacked the conversation. He went on about what a eunuch is/was, and how one gets the job of a eunuch. How they were servants of the queen. He went on to ask why this African man would have been a believer in the Lord and why he would have the book of Isaiah. What disappointment the eunuch must have felt having traveled to Jerusalem but not been able to worship at the temple since the Jews did not allow outsiders to mingle with them, let alone worship with them. You get the picture, but there were about 5 other things that he mentioned that I can't even recall. Let's just say this....He was on his game and I was completely out of my league
....All I really wanted to say was that I thought it was cool that God made Philip disappear and reappear somewhere else.....My small little mind.

Jonathan,
He is very knowledgable. But you are a total suck up for writing this one.
haha
love ya
The "Old Man's" got crazy Christian skills - everyone knows this! ;o)
That's why he is the Sal Army King of Education - consider yourself skooled.
However, being a Star Trek fan (original/NextGen yes, Voyager/DS9 BIG no - I'm not a complete DORK), I too would have been distracted by the teleportation stuff.
