I was thinking of the Philippian jailer.

He fell asleep on his watch. - LOL

Here's a train of thought.

John Sigismund Tanner (1705 – 14 March 1775; German: Johann Sigismund Tanner) was an engraver of the Kingdom of Great Britain, making dies for coins and medals.
Tanner designed a sixpence for the Royal Mint during the reign of King George II, the coin became popularly known as the "tanner" and this appellation preserved until decimalisation in 1971.

Act 10:5-6 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one Simon, whose surname is Peter: (6) He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house is by the sea side: he shall tell thee what thou oughtest to do.

In the 1950s if you lodged a tanner with someone you placed a bet for sixpence.

 

[St. SteVen]

Barnabas = son of encouragement

Did you know that was his nickname, his given name was Joseph.

Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas
(which means “son of encouragement”), - Acts 4:36 NIV

Anyway, don't miss the ENCOURAGEMENT bus.
I mean... it stops in front of your house EVERY day! - LOL

1) What can we do to be encouraging to one another?
2) How does this affect forum relationships?
3) What does it look like to be encouraging to our family members?
4) How can we encourage others at work?
5) What can we do to encourage the staff at our church?
6) How can we encourage complete strangers?
7) What can you do to encourage me? - LOL
(sorry, I wanted to have seven questions)
