[at-l] Allegory/metaphor on the cross

[revmrf at kingcon.com (Martin Fors)]

Shane,

No problem.  Your translation makes a good 'connect.'  For those who might
care:  Jesus took all our 'loads' and carried it for us.  So now we can
slack pack!

How: Bad luck, good luck, Colin Fletcher, and insanity.

Oh, and a bad Bible translation.  Felix asked me to read the translation of
St. Luke that he was working on, and somehow the words 'backpack' and
'cross' got confused in that scripture that says, "Pick up your cross and
follow me..."  Could have happened to anyone.

(If that's too sacrilegious and someone is offended, then I'm sorry.  I'm
not sorry that you're offended, I'm just sorry.)

Where: Anywhere I could.
