Parallelograms

I was reading in Acts the other day about Stephen, and one verse stood out to me in particular:

"And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel."
Acts 6:15

So turns out Stephen was an authentic angel-face.

Then, on my Taylor Swift Pandora radio station today because there's no shame in that, "Hey Stephen" came on, and, of course, I started singing to it because there's also no shame in that.

'Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel!

And I was like - haha- Stephen's an angel face.
And then I was like - omg. Stephen WAS an angel face!

And then it got even spookier:

Hey Stephen, I know looks can be deceivin' but I know I saw a light in you
Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, performed amazing miracles and signs among the people. (Acts 6:8)

Hey Stephen, boy, you might have me believin' I don't always have to be alone
(during Stephen's speech) You stubborn people! You are heathen at heart and deaf to the truth. Must you forever resist the Holy Spirit? That's what your ancestors did, and so do you! (Acts 7:51)

And then the real kicker:

Of all the girls tossin' rocks at your window! 
They rushed him at him and dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. (Acts 7:57-58)

Coincidence? 
Probably.
But still eerie.

It's even spelled with a Ph and not a V,
TWS

  1. Or, perhaps Taylor Swift has read Acts and intended for the song to have a deeper meaning...ha, ha, ha that was a good one.
