Doug and John, 

First of all thank you Doug for passing that post along.

It is well worth a second read. 

That was considerate of you for all of us.

And John, you explain things so clearly. Your input is greatly appreciated, then and *now*.

I liked the part about the two crossings...

of the Red Sea, and of the Jordan River and their interpretations.

Thank you both.
