The only greek I know is the alphabet... for reasons of mathematical notation. But apparently the word translated by the King James as 'handmaid' really should be more like 'bondmaid' or 'female slave' (according to Strong's Lexicon). So in the Magnificat from Luke's gospel, Mary is essentially calling herself "the Lord's slave".
On a different note, let's go for margaritas sometime soon and reflect upon the faded glory of Europe.
ironic that you should mention greek. i just started class on Monday nights at Fuller extension in Irvine. drinks sound good, although margaritas are a strange choice to toast the decline of Europe's glory. I'd think a good gin and tonic would give us the feel of empire, preferably some from Bombay!
