Acts of the Apostles

I am a Sunday school teacher, and finished up a study in the Book of Acts about the end of 2010. I didn’t realize it at the time, but, not long after beginning this study, I simply fell in love with this book. I do not intend that my study here should be a true commentary on Acts, but I hope to stop at a verse or two in each chapter and write a little concerning what I believe God has taught me. If you care to browse be my guest. I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed studying and writing whatever is read here.
