I am out of my depth trying to figure out how this works.

I did read Jeff's entry of 1-17 and wanted to comment on it since it relates to at least two interests of mine. 1-Historic Biblical settings, i.e. the way the Bible was written by people who were immersed in story telling techniques.
2-How that art still exsists in Middle Eastern culture today.

Before I take off on this I want to make sure I am actually posting something or if this will vanish in thin air.
