"Oh Lord God, deliver us in Thy due time from the little narrow prison, almost as it were, total darkness of paper, pen and ink and a crooked, broken, scattered and imperfect language."
-Joseph Smith
"Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"
- Martin Luther King Jr.
The Gods we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a person will worship something, have no doubt of that either. One may think that tribute is paid in secret, in the dark recesses of his or her heart, but it is not. That which dominates imagination and thoughts will determine life and character. Therefore it behooves us to be careful what we are worshiping. For what we are worshiping, we are becoming.

Liza Does it Again
I just had to add this one that Eliza said last night. Over the years James and I have acquired the friendship of many international folks and consequently seem to be eating lots of cultural foods. Costa Rican, Mexican, Greek, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Malian, Haitian and so on and so forth. Well, the other night we were having a Korean meal for dinner. Since we are never quite sure what the kids will like as far as international food goes, we made them a tamer version of the dish. James and I were eating Kimchi Chigae with seaweed and tofu, and the kids had rice with chicken sauce. They all gobbled their food up and pretty soon were asking for seconds. Eliza announced very matter-of-factly, "I just want plain rice...and seaweed!" Now all you parents out there, how often do you hear that from a child? Sure enough Liza ate every last bite of her plain rice and seaweed. Kids say the darndest things and I think that my blog might be just the place to record such sayings. Look forward to more friends. Ta ta!

I love it! We just give our kids whatever we are eating. They have tried lots of different kinds of food but still can't figure out where basic things like chicken, pork or beef come from. Someday they will get it I am sure.
So funny! I'm not even brave enough to eat seaweed yet!
