Homework for Week 2

Last week, I asked everyone to think of an occupation or profession that is found in all four gardens. Some have given the following answers: gardener, sculptor, judge, etc. While these have some merit to them, they are not exactly what I'm looking for. So I will give you a hint.

There are certain stories that transcend time and culture. For example, the story of Romeo and Juliet. This story has been told a thousand different ways throughout history and in various cultural settings. At the core of the story is the idea of love.

Now think about other generic stories that transcend time and culture. Think about the stories you were drawn to as a child. And then ask yourself what profession or occupation do some of the characters in those stories hold. This may get you closer to the answer I'm looking for.

  1. I think it's interesting that God made light before He made the sun and moon...because God is light! That's the beginning; the end is in Rev. 22:5, "And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever."
    Connecting the dots: John 1:4-5 "In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." Cool.
