Today's top quote comes from none other than the author of the Gospel of Matthew (Matt 13:45-46):
“The kingdom of the heavens is like a merchant who went for good margaritas; when he found a margarita of great value, he went and sold everything he had and bought it.”*
*Margarita (μαργαρίτα) is the Greek word for pearl!
Behold the true value of Greek!
Well, it's Friday... and that means it's time to do some “kingdom work”!

i hope you're kidding... but margarita in greek means pearl, not pear.
Why, Jim, thanks for stopping by! Yes, yes, margarita means pearl, not pear... an unfortunate typo!
"The pear of great price" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it, does it?
I did have a pearl with dinner, but that was the extent of my "kingdom work." ; )
