And so arrived in.” Rome.
The believers came as
far as the Forum of Appius
and Three Taverns to meet us. On seeing them,
Paul thanked God and took courage. (Acts 28:14-15)
Dear Anna,
Thank you for sending me your Spring semester syllabi. I see you have two courses from your favorite teacher: The Roman World and Latin II. From his syllabus, I can see he is a very special kind of teacher. I would like to learn from him. But, then again, I would have to know my Latin.
Which reminds me, thank you again for that very special Christmas gift you gave to Grammy and me—that jump drive with you reading our favorite Bible passages first in English and then in Latin, from your very own translation.
When you come home, I hope to hear a play-by-play around the fire pit. Tell me all about that great city where the Apostle himself made his way: “And so we arrived in Rome.” Maybe you can tell of “the Forum of Appius and the Three Taverns.”
Love, Papa
