Girl looking bothered while three girls in the background talkTwo recent articles from the newspaper (names and details have been altered):

Sally (an actress whose name you would recognize if I were to tell you) and her artist boyfriend Fred are getting more serious about their relationship. At least that's what people are saying after Sally, 22, was spotted in Fred’s hometown of Burbank, California.  She was there to meet the 29 year old's parents. "Fred's dad runs an art school there," an insider told this reporter.  The insider thought the two had a smashing meeting with his parents.
At least 10 people were arrested and charged with felony conspiracy to commit gaming in connection with the ring that operated between 4th and 6th streets. The shell game is one of the oldest cons in the book. It involves quickly moving a small, round object beneath one of three shells or bottle caps mounted on a table or cardboard box. Operators flash a wad of cash to entice passersby and employ shills to make the game look winnable. By the time the victim chooses a shell, the object has already vanished, thanks to sleight of hand. Those arrested included Jay, 77, the one who manipulated the shells, and Steve, 32, believed to be the group's enforcer, Lt. Vernon said. Police said they seized a butcher knife with a 4-inch blade from Steve.

What is a temple?

Dictionary.com: 1. an edifice or place dedicated to the service or worship of a deity or deities.

read I Cor. 3:16 - 17

That’s the plural form of “you” there. Like “ya’ll” – not “you” as an individual. We, the believers, are the temple of God. Not individually, but as the group – the citizens of the Kingdom of God, the church.

Steve was a single father. His wife abandoned him and their daughter, “Rachel” when she was only 2 years old. When she was 10, Rachel joined little league. Their league had a rule that the parents had to run the snack bar for one game every season in order to help the league have the money it needed. Steve was signed up for the big Friday evening game when it was expected there would be a lot of people in attendance. But Steve was a plumber and got an emergency call, then a water heater that he was working on burst and flooded out the customer’s house. He had to clean it up quickly or he’d be liable for thousands of dollars in damages. He forgot all about the snack bar.

Diana's TempleWritten to “Those who are saints and are faithful.” Early manuscripts do not contain the words “at Ephesus” – this was probably a letter intended to be passed around to churches in that area and the name “Ephesus” was just stuck in later.

Written by Paul, roughly 60 – 63 AD, (30 to 33 years past the crucifixion/resurrection/ascension of Christ) .
