OOMs ?
{For last week, when there was a birthday ?}

Fur of ignorance flits up from between dry grass blades, fanning out from the roots of a tree, its leaves replaced by clustered armies of black wedge-shaped insect. All their sound together makes a single harmonised whistle swaying into the upper atmosphere, crumbling nimbus clouds to decrepit rags like bunched candle smoke, scudding along the dirt and waterless weeds, skipping fearfully over the fur of ignorance.

Visited the Canadian headquarters for Chosen People Ministries for their end-of-summer party! It's great to meet new people in the extended family!

And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
Acts 9:4

Persecuting Yeshua's people is the same as persecuting Yeshua himself. There's no indication that the Christians in Syria were especially righteous. They were people just like any other--flawed and sinful--yet Yeshua still called them "me".

Be careful whom you persecute.

[Saul asked the high priest] for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
Acts 9:2

By what authority could Saul (aka Paul) kidnap people from one Roman province and bring them to another? Surely, the Romans would have taken a very dim view of his activities, regardless of the high priest's approval unless he was very well connected politically. It seems that he operated like a first century Mossad.
