On a road well-traveled



 
 “God enters by a private door into every individual.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

I’ve always liked this quote by Emerson and while my photo of the Road to Damascus doesn’t necessarily “fit” the quote, it WAS on this road that the Apostle Paul is said to have had his encounter with the risen Christ.  It was the beginning of a ministry that did more to spread Christianity than perhaps any other individual effort, aided immensely by Paul's ability to write.

Fourteen of the New Testament's 27 books have traditionally been attributed to Paul.   Because his writings were so treasured, they are among the most studied today.   

Thoughtfulness, gentleness and steadfastness infuse his written works and 2000 years later all readers are still the beneficiaries.
