1 Thessalonians It is a short page and a half book, letter from Paul to the city telling them what a good job they are doing in following the direction of Jesus. Here is Luther's description of this book:
Paul founded the church at Thessalonica during his second missionary journey. He had taught there just three weeks when he had to leave suddenly because of the opposition of the Jews. Recent converts from paganism were thus left with little external support in the midst of persecution. Paul wrote to give encouragement to them.
Our faith came at great cost to early Christians but their loss is Christ's gain.

Jillian on the other hand is trying to kill me for no good reason. I do better some days than others, but I do. How is your promise of good health to yourself coming?
On this day
1974 My friends Nan and Chris and I were going to a Slim, Trim and Swim class together. We were always sporadically finding exercise here and there. I don't remember Nan actually needing any of this, she was always, thin and beautiful - but none of us are ever happy are we? I can't remember if it was an indoor or outdoor pool, or even where it was. hmmmm

Thessaloniki Greece
Archaeological sites[edit]
Thessaloniki is home to a number of prominent archaeological sites. Apart from its recognized UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Thessaloniki features a large two-terraced Roman forum[220] featuring two-storey stoas,[221] dug up by accident in the 1960s.[220] The forum complex also boasts two Roman baths,[222] one of which has been excavated while the other is buried underneath the city.[222] The forum also features a small theater,[220][222] which was also used for gladiatorial games.[221] Although the initial complex was not built in Roman times, it was largely refurbished in the 2nd century.[222] It is believed that the forum and the theater continued to be used until at least the 6th century.[223] This looks like a great place to explore today!! Maybe when Paul was there!
Enjoy the day! Make it memorable! Happy birthday to Dale, Elaine, Heide,
