I missed the Thanksgiving blogging yesterday while at the Magic Kingdom, so I have to impart in a time-lapse way my Thanksgiving story. My 4 year-old asked me a few months ago "what is Thanksgiving again?" So, I told him the "Father Guido Sarducci" version of a people who lived in a place where they weren't free so they went across the ocean to a place where they could be free. Life was hard, but after a year they had a great harvest and celebrated with a big feast to give thanks to God to bringing them to this place. Luke's response: "Is this the story with the Pharoah?"
Of course, this put my mind into a cynical spiral where I wondered if all these stories were just recurring mythologies of persecution and destiny. A friend stopped my spiral by telling me that the similarities in the stories were not evidence of mythological underpinnings but merely evidence of the recurrence of bad Pharoahs.
