The author Mark W Griffin enjoys uphill skiing? I had never heard of such a thing. I had to look it up to see if it was real. I can barely downhill ski, let alone ski uphill. Learned something new today. Thanks for what you do.

Some people like a challenge... the nature of the challenge differs, that's all.

(Yeah, I stick to walking on level ground, in pretty public parks... I keep my challenges to Wordle.)

Pretty pics! Love the St. Matthew angle(s). More to say there

Oh, there's definitely more to say with St. Matthew.

The system of tax farming in the Roman Empire, especially under the Herodians... well, there are very good reasons why the tax collectors were lumped with prostitutes in the Gospels.
