"Soli Deo Gloria"
"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
Romans 7:14-25

Maki, you are full of topic today...good ones, BTW
I'm Lithuanian, Finn, Slovak, and Russian...a veritable United Nations.
I could give all to Time except - except
What I myself have held. But why declare
The things forbidden that while the Customs slept
I have crossed to Safety with? For I am There,
And what I would not part with I have kept.

Oh...I looove curry. The Japanese are hooked on curry (thank God!) and it's the only food I've found here that I like. Okay...that and the bento trays. I was raised among east indians. My parent's used to run hotels and they were always owned by indians (yep...they were all last named Patel..no curry jokes
)

Chris...neither/nor.... I was actually baptized in the Church of India (episcopalian), communed a roman catholic, and confirmed a lutheran......as of right now? hmm......polytheist/pagan naturist, perhaps, is the best description? My family held to no strict dogma, and we were actually raised to choose our own way.....
Keith....that's it...your slurpee and porn supply is cut off...now get out of my store! tuttut
xray girl.....*lol* i forgot about the hotels....and my last name is not Patel! although i know about 4 or 5 different ones.....A little learning is a dangerous thing...

Maki, what an interesting topic.
I always hated getting asked this as I probably epitomize the American melting pot. I am a veritable Heinz 57. From what I can remember, I have some Irish, English, German, Swedish, Cherokee, Apache, and many more that I have forgotten- except no Polish.. No, definitely not any Polish*.
*The above comment about not being Polish was in no way meant in a derogatory manner. It was purely a statement of relief that none of those Polish jokes were ever about me.**
**To any people out there of Polish descent(Chris) that might have been offended by that rude statement - it was made in jest, looking only for cheap laughs, and I apologize. The author could just as easily have picked on the French...***
***By the way, I am a Blonde, so I have bourne my own share of shame and ridicule...
