The topic we have been discussing on this tributary is, I imagine, of more interest to the corporal's descendants than it is the captain's [see post #114]. I realize I have posted a lion’s share of these posts, so I am sorry if I have belabored some of the points about Adam and Eve. The truth is that some of what I have been learning from the Bible about God's word to women over the last year has made me feel like a lifetime slave who discovered papers that said he and his relatives had never been slaves at all. It's hard to explain what this has been like.

I have more to say on the topic, having barely scratched the surface in this dialogue, but I think this topic is probably mostly of interest to those in Martha and Mary's house, so I will be more than happy to move further dialogue there. I don't think, apart from SC's calling out a few statements I made (many posts ago), I would have brought up this topic or said as much as I have.

So, to any who have had to exercise undue patience or been bothered or bored by all this, please accept my apology.

Thankful Jane
