I have decided to start a thread somewhat based upon Ivanhoe's wuote of the day, but limit to what I hope will be timely and thought provoking ideas around the theme of religious thought. Its purpose is not to evangelize, shame or the like. Simply to explore and inspire.
In honor of Memorial Day

Uhm, that's like Garrison Keillor saying ''all children are above average''. If they have 'extraordinary' potential, they are extraordinary, or their potential is ordinary.

Oh well, I thought it was a good idea.
here's my contribution:
A dear old Quaker lady was asked to explain her obviously youthful appearance, her appealing vivacity and her winning charm. She replied sweetly, "I used for the lips - truth; for the voice - prayer; for the eyes - pity; for the hands - charity; for the figure - uprightness; for the heart - love."
How's that for a makeup kit?

Gen.1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
