The Roman Colosseum is a marvelous structure, I visited it several times in the 70's-80's.
Along with other Roman architecture, I was saddened to see so much graffiti on the monuments.

The Babel Project September 2, 2015
Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.
Psalm 127:1
Two workmen were asked what they were building together. One said he was building a garage. The other replied that he was building a cathedral. A day later there was only one man laying bricks. When asked where the second was, the first replied, Oh, he got fired. He insisted on building a cathedral instead of a garage.
Something similar happened on the ancient worksite of Babel. A group of people decided they would build a city and a tower that would reach to the heavens and unite their world (Gen. 11:4). But God didnt want them working on a grand, self-centered plan based on the idea that they could rise to the heights of God and solve all of their own problems. So He came down, stopped the project, scattered the people over all the earth, and gave them different languages (vv. 8-9).
God wanted people to see Him as the solution to their problems, and He revealed His plan for them to Abraham (12:1-3). Through the faith of Abraham and his descendants, He would show the world how to look for a city whose architect and builder is God (Heb. 11:8-10).
Our faith does not rise out of our own dreams and solutions. The foundation of faith is in God alone and what He can do in and through us.
Dear heavenly Father, forgive me for focusing on my own schemes and dreams. Help me to look to You for guidance in all that I do.
God wants to do what only He can do in and for us.
Genesis 11 holds a pivotal place in the early Old Testament story, as it forms something of a bridge from the days of the early patriarchs (Adam, Seth, Noah) to the days of Abraham. In Genesis 110 we find not only the creation narrative but also the record of humanitys early failures, which are proof we need the Rescuer that God promised in Genesis 3:15. This promise will find its ultimate fulfillment through the line of Abrahamin Jesus the Messiahthrough whom all the people of the world will be blessed (22:18). Bill Crowder

Hey, I hear it's cheap now!
You Should Go See Acropolis |
You can be quite academic in your approach to things. You are scholarly and bookish. You are high achieving. You perform well no matter what situation you're in.
You are resourceful and capable. You have an ingenious way of getting things done. You are very opinionated. And you never keep your opinions to yourself! |

Marcella Flavia puts out?Well, she might, but it was mainly communist/anarchist rantings.

There was a time, fifty years ago, that I could have written that line in Latin. Now I’d have to look it up.
