[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Thanks, Randy. I made a small poster of your quote and am going to hang it  
by my computer while writing a book about my 99-year-old mother's life.The 
first  six chapters are on my blog, _http://jannsjewels.blogspot.com_ 
(http://jannsjewels.blogspot.com) . 
 
By the way, you can read an excerpt from Illness as  Initiation: An 
Unlikely Heroine's Journey at _http://booklocker.com/books/5100.html_ 
(http://booklocker.com/books/5100.html) .
 
Love all the interesting discussions going on now. 
 
Blessings,
Jann

If you go back to the John  Knox paper "The Event and the Story," he tells 
us that every "true" story,  like the Christ story, has three elements; the 
historical (what  happened), the ontological (what significance it had) and 
the  mythological (how it was "freighted" metaphorically, etc.) and that the 
 story is not complete if any one of these is missing.
