alpha and omega

the most important part; the basic substance
—Good customer service is the alpha and omega of our restaurant’s plan for success.

The prophetic Book of Revelation was written by the Apostle John. In the first chapter, John records God’s description of himself:

“I am the Alpha and the Omega [I am Alpha and Omega],” says the Lord God—the one who is, and who was, and who is still to come—the All-Powerful! (Revelation 1:8)

Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and omega is the last. Therefore, alpha and omega is like A and Z.

I got several responses to my post last month, “Photographers, Can You Do Us Cross-Cultural Bloggers a Favor?” One of my favorites is “We are debating whether your plea for more photos is an actual plea for more photos or if it was written with sarcasm in mind.” […]

    Photographers, Can You Do Us Cross-Cultural Bloggers a Favor? [—at A Life Overseas]

    From a recent edition of the weekly web journal Brigada Today, I found out that there’s a photography conference, “Depth of Field,” coming up, February 7 and 8.
