He appreciated the Lord so much. And he was quite a historian - he knew his politarchs from his asiarchs.David C Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891468618584742601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7930553747640588156.post-51157140223437563732011-05-27T09:54:18.831-07:002011-05-27T09:54:18.831-07:00This is probably my favorite of your biographical ...This is probably my favorite of your biographical posts, yet, probably because I'm partial to Luke, but anyway.

I love how the first line introduces us to his voice, which reminds me of a grandfatherly type. Thanks for giving me some details about his life.
