[Rhodes22-list] Morning Doves

[Roger Pihlaja]

>From the book of Genesis chapters 10 & 11: Nimrod was the son of Cush,
supposedly the 1st potentate in the world, said to be a mighty hunter by the
grace of God, the driving force behind the Tower of Babel, an arrogant king
that wanted to challenge God, despite God's blessings upon him.  Nimrod's
arrogance resulted in God punishing the world by scrambling their languages
at the Tower of Bable building site.

The term wind driven can be used imply something that is helpless or
scattered in the wind or jumbled up by the wind.  Or, it can be taken to
mean powered by the wind.

The combination of the two expressions makes for an interesting metaphor!
I'm not quite certain of the author's intent.  Were you simply refering to
us as "mighty sailing hunters" or are we helpless, arrogant sons of Cush
unappreciative of God's blessings?
