    (From my point of view many good things have happened in the last two days. I feel exceptionally happy, but I guess I'll return into the normal Finnish melancholy soon.

    I have known 3 Finnish guys, born in Finland, but living in Canada.

    2 were melancholy.  If you do the enneagram, both were 5s.

    And then there are people like myself who can't understand why anyone would use verse except as a location marker similar to the line numbers on legal forms.

    Count me among your tribe.

    And here I am....in my 7th dimension world....  studying the context of a verse in the context of the verses around it and in the context of the chapter and in context of the book...

    Which shows to go you.... just how messed up I really am![8-|]

    xn = Christan man=man -- Acts 11:26 "....and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch".

    Not messed up IF it is an informed, conscious choice. If only by habit . . .
