Really OT: In the kitchen at home, there is a good-sized rock that serves as a doorstop. It is round and rust-colored on top and flat and gray on the bottom; the bottom is not iron-colored because it is a small boulder split in half and has not oxidized--a process that takes possibly hundreds of years in the open air and rain. It is composed of basalt or gabbro, dark volcanic lavas that cooled fairly slowly and that poured out when the Atlantic Ocean began to open up in the Triassic Era, something like 200 million years ago. The Palisades of the Hudson are a good example, but one also finds these in the central Carolinas. That's when the dinosaurs lived. Anyway, some years ago I wrote "GOD" on the underside of this rock with a Magic Marker; nobody sees this unless you pick it up, which is not often. I guarantee you that if you drop this rock on your foot, you will believe in GOD. I used to have some steel-toed boots, but they got left behind when I was evicted from a cabin in the mountains, so with my regular shoes, I am a GOD-fearing person. That's not the full extent of my theology, but it is my rock and my foundation.
