The icon I bought depicting Paul, the Apostle who was the first in Europe to preach the gospel..
This week is dedicated to Greece the cradle of our civilization. And thanks to the Apostle Paul who started preaching here, we learned to know the gospel and the Bible which inspired so many people in art and music. Sorry to say, but the Bible was, and still is, also used by people with bad intentions, who didn't want to live like Christ and his apostles.
Anyway for me the Bible is part of My World and consequently the apostle who brought Christianity to Europe is also part of My World. So Greece, where I came in April 2007 for the first time, is part of My World. My World doesn't stop at the borders of my country. That's what I learned through blogging. I have met people among you, who could have been my soulmates. We have sometimes so much in common that I am surprised.

What a nice and thoughtful post! No, our borders are not our own countries, and that is a very good thing!
I do like your words, Wil, and agree with most all of what you said. I am thankful for all of my blogging friends and count you among them.
Your blog is something of a fresh breeze. I shall come again.
I do so agree, reader wil - blogging has opened up a whole new world to me. I can put a photo of our farm on my blog and get a reply from friends in New Zealand in an instant. If I hadn't blogged I would never have met you and my life would have been poorer for it. Thank you for being a blogger. Love the Greek header by the way.
Wil.......you and I, we are good friends who enjoy each others company via this worldwide blog !
Who knows someday we may meet up on vacation somewhere !
Hugs,
Carol
A beautiful post, and beautiful thoughts! I am so grateful for all my blogging friends, too. You always have lovely and thought provoking things on your blog and this was another lovely look at your world. Thanks for sharing!
Louise, thank you for your visit always and kind comment.
Patty and Abe, you two are the blogging friends, whom I have known now for at least 4 years, I think. First on EFx2, now here because Patty advised me to do so. I don't regret it.
Dave King, nice to meet you!Thanks for your visit.
Weaver, I agree with you, blogging brings the world in our houses. I am glad I met you too.
Carol, that would be nice to meet blogging friends.
This is a beautiful post Reader Wil, and I love what you've said here, very true. You have very great wisdom. Bedankt for alles! Groetjes!
Real great post Wil, also just love the photo you have as your header.
Very interesting post. Informative too.
Greece - I love Greedce -we went there for 9 days - only stayed in Athens though- wanted to go to Corinth, but no time. The distances there are much bigger than we anticipated. Paul has had much influence through his travels on Greece. I love his writings!
Agree with you and all regarding bloggers. I am a newby but have all ready met such interesting people.
Saul of Tarsus was an amazing missionary responsible for bringing the word to the gentile world. He put Christianity on the world map.
Also agree with Imac. The header is wonderful.
I do agree blogging is a borderless world that bridges so mnay cutural and religious devides. If only this philosophy could be applied in the real world. Very thuought provoking post.
The Bible is a part of myworld as well, great posting.
Have a great week!

Wow what a lovely post Wil. I too agree blogging has added a new dimension to our lives with wonderful people we'd otherwise never have known.
Very thoughtful post. And I agree, the apostle Paul was so important in spreading the gospel.
Great title photo. That's a new one, isn't it?
Een leuke en speciale post, onze wereld eindigt inderdaad niet bij onze voordeur of zelfs onze landsgrens.
So well written, Reader Wil!
We can meet if you visit my part of the world too!:)
Lovely post. Your header photo is great.
Aha Griekenland deze week, zon , zee maar vooral de rijke geschiedenis van dit land is hetgeen me boeit.
Groetjes
Wil, this is a lovely post and I so like the old Greek church. Such lovely stonework!
Dear blogging friends, thank you all for your great comments. I am glad I met you here and read your great posts, see your wonderful photos and learn so much from all of you! Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment! What an interesting life you lead! I'm looking forward to learning more. I'm so sorry your husband didn't get to experience his youngest grandchild, but thankfully, there's another reunion later on!
I loved your idea of My World!
Wil: What a nice sharing of your belief and the story of Greece.
I'm doing fair and if this weather breaks I can get some more exersize outside.
Great my world post. I hope you are having a great week.
Wonderful my world posting!
Very nice post and love all the ones for Greece this week and your new header piccie. Those mosaics are just wonderful!
That is quite a post. Thanks.
Greece is a beautiful and interesting country, I'm always amazed by what the ancient greek already knew (and what was forgotten). While no Christian, consider the Bible to be an extremely important book - it's vital to the understanding of Western culture.
By the way, if you ever come to Hamburg and feel like gaming, let me know ;)
Wil, I think you speak for many of us with your words. I look forward to the day when lines on a paper map are no longer barriers.
Lovely post Wil. The last image is interesting. Have you made it yourself or is it from a poster of sorts.
I've been to Greece several times and I have always enjoyed myself enourmosly. Such friendly people, lovely climate and grand landscapes. The plite of the animals is the only thing that saddens me in that country.
Yes, we are now bloggers without borders.
Thanks for taking me to Greece in these posts. So good for this year of St. Paul.
I am late in visiting, but as always I am learning so much when I come here.
Many are on the same soul growth and path, Wil.
