And once they had done something extraordinary, their divinity was then retrojected back into stories about their conception and birth, as well as into their genealogies and stories about their coming of age. But they are always writing backwards, after the fact." Bullet, my sister met her in middle school where they initially became friends. Incidentally, she was married to a friend of mine who I went to high school with. I've since lost touch w/ him. Joel, about becoming a god, Crossan says this,

None of the things you mentioned have a direct effect on you, but you are so tuned into other people that you share their pain. And yes, you do know what it has to do with Christmas. We wouldn't need a Christmas if it wasn't for pain. May you and your family be especially blessed this year and always. God rest ye!! Bos, you are very sensitive to grief, and I love you for it.
