Favorite recent and insightful quote I have read recently:

Favorite quote I have recently read: "The word temple comes from the Latin templum, which signifies an extended open space that has been marked out for the observation of the sky. In what manner is such a space marked out? According to Dr. Hugh Nibley, the word templum, "designates a building specifically designed for interpreting signs in the heavens--a sort of observatory where one gets one's bearings on the universe." The root "tem-" in Greek and Latin denotes a "cutting" or intersection of two lines at right angles, the point where the "cardo" and "decumanus" cross, hence where the four regions come together." Matthew Brown - "The Gate of Heaven"

In search of a white Christmas...

Looking for a location for our four days of vacation over Christmas. It should be in the 80's here.  We located a small community on the beach north of us, up close to the border of Ecuador. It is called Mancora.  It is known for clear water, gentle sandy beaches, good restaurants, low prices, and very good fishing on the Pacific.  I am interested in all of the above and it will be about as close to a white Christmas as we can find -- white sand anyway.
