The GGG Digest -- Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)

Hey unspun, is the Judson College you refer to the one in Elgin, IL???? I was just in Elgin today, visiting Elgin Community College on some personal business...
How 'bout it -- that's the one! A fine little liberal arts college supported by mostly Baptist churches and folk. Very pretty campus (for Illinois, especially). I live in the western Chicago 'burbs now.
Enjoy your visit to the town famous for clocks, street sweepers, and caskets?
I always have a pleasent visit to the "Bluff City!" I live up in McHenry County, and often have to drive in or through Elgin on my way to other places. It's amazing how the city has changed since the gambling boat has been there. The downtown area is really quite pleasent, and even trendy. Lot's of neat old churches and turn-of-the-century architecture. It's the city that time forgot. (Much like it's southern neighbor, Aurora...)
Every once in a while I even stop by the 'International Teams' HQ just a block or two from the Judson campus for a teaching or seminar. Otherwise, much of my travels in and through Elgin are on it's western border, as I go up & down Randall Road visiting my freinds & family in the far western burbs!
I myself went to NIU and DePaul, and have also made some pitstops at Northwestern, Purdue Calumet (Hammond), the Illinois Institute of Art (Schaumburg) and the Moody Bible Institute.
Since you are into speculation, here is a site. The Aten - The Sun Disc
Akhenaten is said to have written the very beautiful Great Hymn to the Aten, which has been compared to Psalm 104. It was found inscribed in the tomb of an important court figure, Aye. The beauty of the art and writing devoted to the Aten, and Akhenaten's own charisma, stirs the hearts of many. Since Akhenaten tried to move his kingdom toward apparent monotheism, much speculation has led some to believe Moses met Akhenaten or even that Moses is Akhenaten. Also, the Rosicrucian Order and many other cults and religions trace their roots to the cult of the Aten. Even more wild speculation has taken place: for instance, that Tutankhamun is Jesus!
Revelation 3:14
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Amen seems to be more than just the closing for a prayer. Who is the Amen? I've even seen speculation that Ra, Amen and Aten were the trinity and that Osiris, Isis and Horus the 'holy family'. (Mary, Joseph and Jesus)
