JoMo was at his godmother’s birthday dinner. At the end, he gave her a cuddle and patted her cheek and said, ‘God made you special!’ His godmother and I were both amazed that at 2 and a bit years old he could come up with such a lovely thing to say to someone on their birthday, affirming the goodness of God’s creation, etc. etc. Then she put him down on the ground and he scampered off, saying, ‘That’s what the tomato says!’
(He had only seen part of the DVD once or twice…. Sponges, I say. Absolute sponges!)

Aber mit der Heimat
geht man immer herum,
durch die Welt,
dort und dort
Peter Handke
No one could describe
the Word of the Father;
but when He took flesh from you, O Theotokos,
He consented to be described, and restored the fallen image to its former beauty.
We confess and proclaim our salvation in word and image.
Kontakion of the Triumph of Orthodoxy
Almighty God,
you have created the heavens and the earth
and made us in your own image:
teach us to discern your hand in all your works
and your likeness in all your children;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who with you and the Holy Spirit reigns supreme over all things,
now and for ever.
But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O LORD; you cover him with favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12, ESV)

Good intentions – start as you mean to go on !
There is, however, no escape from Veggietales.
