5.24

There was a good discussion today about the meaning of "right hand".  In the Bible it means strength and power and authority, but each of the groups (6 of them) in TTC2 each told what right hand meant in their language.  One means the person standing next to you, another means someone who is true and good, another is just literal, so when they read about the right hand of God, they imagine someone sitting on him or something.  Theres lots of words and phrases that have a double meaning, that if we just translate word for word, it wouldn't give the right meaning.  Then the groups looked for metaphors in their own languages that mean power and authority. 

(isnt that the coolest looking caterpillar ever?  I didn't take the picture, but its cool ^_^)
