A Soulful Journey

Three statisticians go deer hunting with bows and arrows.  They spot a big buck and take aim.  One shoots, and his arrow flies off ten feet to the right.  The second shoots, and his arrow goes ten feet to the left.  The third statistician jumps up and down yelling, "We got him!  We got him!"  -Bill Butz With words and actions there is no "averaging out," there is only  the reality of what has been done.

The tale of Cain and Abel is about the most disconcerting story in the entire Bible. It contains the worst kernels of what humanity is all about. In a powerful interpretation of the text in Genesis, Joseph Campbell wrote, "...the herder [Abel] against the planter [Cain] and the planter is the one who is abominated. This is the myth of hunting people or herding people who have come into a planting culture world and denigrate the people whom they have conquered." The Power of Myth If there is a purpose to history it must not be to create opportunities of display greater skill with memory. The purpose of history is to learn, grow and earn the right to be the children of a proud Father.
