Nature...

... has invaded our house.

And my once picture-perfect shelf arrangement is now decorated with my kid's recent nature collection, dirty feathers, rocks, and dead snail shell from the bottom of a stream and all. And I don't even mind.

"Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is."

Deuteronomy 10:14

Your Answer Defines You
"What can we do with thirty seconds? What can we not do with thirty seconds!... [Suppose] your little child looks out the window and sees a collie. 'What's that?' he asks you. You have five options, which will each take about thirty seconds to make stick:

1. We can tell him, "Look, baby, Mommy has to get dinner."
2. We can tell him, "That's a bow-wow."
3. We can tell him, "That's a dog."
4. We can tell him, "That's a dog called a collie."

The fifth option is to tell him that it is a dog called a collie and then go on to tell him thirty second's worth of information about that animal...

How sad it is that we put information into a computer with great skill and great precision and put information into our children's brains in a hit-or-miss, slip-shod, and often untruthful way."
