A tower-building exercise...

One day...long ago...on primordial earth--when pangaea still ruled the continents and the waters of the flood were still receding...a tower was built to bridge heaven and earth...the scornful ruler was ancient Nimrod and he blasphemed that holy name with his pride...thinking that he could bring heaven to himself by building the tallest tower that has ever been created. But God in his justice judged Nimrod and brought him to shame...he threw confusion into the workers of that kingdom scattering man across the earth and giving him a myriad of languages with which to confound the unity of the nations...

Now in the 21st century this tower is revealed again built entirely of Jenga blocks! this tower is taller than me and is narrower than my hand...a proverbial needle built entirely with a triangle framework which I discovered was actually stronger than the classic square...and the balance was uncanny...surprising what is possible when you put your mind to it...

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
