Day 10 – Thyatira, Philadelphia, Aprhrodisias

Alright, here is the only picture you need about today's archeology lesson – RVL having his mind blown by the two-story sculpture panels lining the street in Aphrodisias. All he could say was, “Wow!” :
A brisk morning in Thyatira, learning about Son of God, the bronze feet, the color purple, and iron scepter, dashed pottery, the morning star and Jezebel:



Close quarters on the streets of Turkey – the bus driver is amazing, and everyone is so gracious to one another – a completely different concept of personal space. Personally, (no pun intended), I think we need to work on this if we are going to usher in the Kingdom:


Grapes are everywhere. Here they use the concrete slabs in the middle of the fields to dry raisins:

OK, I resolved to put up more people pix, so God sent more people. We were met by a schoolteacher and village children at the top of the highest point of Philadelphia. Hope you’ve got plenty of bandwidth:











Closed out the day with an amazing lesson on running the race in a Greco-Roman arena. A cloud of witnesses, indeed:


Grace and Peace.
