I interpreted it less as "not alive yet" as "not on the clock yet". But I can see your point. >>"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." > > Completely agree.

This implied, to me, that the weaving wasn't anything to do with the physical, so much as the creation of the soul. Alternately, the "unformed body" could be a reference to the blob of cells that will later have a recognizably human(oid) shape. --Ben ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Purchase Flash MX Pro from House of Fusion, a Macromedia Authorized Affiliate and support the CF community. http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=57 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:177265 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
