Setting: Being seated at a new Cuban restaurant in Georgetown, IN, I notice Gloria Estefan's concert is playing on several plasma televisions around the dining area:
Michael (to Amy): Sweet. I love Gloria Estefan's music. You know, she used to be Cuban. Her dad was a body guard to Cuba's last democratic President. They left Cuba after the revolution. (Don't ask why I know this. I have no idea.)
The Cuban Hostess: She's actually still Cuban, you know.
Michael (properly humbled and embarrassed): True. Very true.
I'm amazed at how adept I am at placing my size 13 foot in my mouth.

about us
from the Word
By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. --1 John 3:16-18
Quoteworthy
Wilderness is not bad. Though it might be risky and survival oriented, it reminds us that we can live with little. It is not a place to be avoided but a special place where "new" things happen. --http://www.simpleliving.org

"Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing. "--Indian activist and author Arundhati Roy. Quoted from The Irresistible Revolution.
