I want to raise a large question with you today, which is this:  Is knowing more better?  Is knowing more facts about yourself, your history, your biology, your family history, better?  In our reading this morning, the High Priest, the Kohein Gadol, keeps in a pouch above his heart an ancient device intended to discern God\\u2019s will on hard questions.  It was called the Urim v\\u2019Tumim.  Let\\u2019s say there were a vexing question the Israelites could not answer on their own.  The Urim v\\u2019Tumim was an instrument of decision that only the High Priest could use that would enable him to ascertain God\\u2019s answer to this hard question.  He kept this instrument in a pouch above his heart.
