So here we are at the last chapter of Acts and there is a lot of stuff going on.... still.

2013 Dodge Viper |
There is a shipwreck, and Paul and the others are getting to shore. When they arrive a fire is going to keep them warm. Paul begins to assist in the gathering of wood and a poisonous snake shoots out and bites Paul. Most translations call it a viper... not like a Dodge Viper... just a snale that is known to be poisonous. At first they seem to think that Paul is just getting what he is due as some kind of murderer, and then when he doesn't die, they think he is some kind of god. Paul was able to give the glory to the true God, and healed many people there in that region.
Paul finally gets to Rome, and finds some other Christians that he is able to encourage, and then he is given his own private lodging... remember, he is still a prisoner. He was under guard of course, but while he was there, (and he stayed for two years) he preached and had no further opposition.
Thanks for going on this little trip with me to get into the habit of spending time... Keep at it!
