The very first words of the Christmas story in the Christmas Eve service I just got back from. Je repete:
"In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered." (ESV translation of Luke 2:1.)
How timely.
How very, very timely.
Caesar Augustus was setting Himself up for a little data mining, just like C+ Augustus today. Plus ça change...
Merry Christmas!
