let's waste no time with frivolities

just now - -

Me: [on the phone for several minutes] blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, good talking with you! Bye bye.

Zoralee: What did you say, Mama?

Me: I was talking to the midwife. I asked her if she could help me get the baby out of my tummy when we go to Montana.

Zoralee: OKAY! I'M READY! I SHOULD PUT MY BOOKS AWAY!

When you are in doubt, be still, and wait;
when doubt no longer exists for you,
then go forward with courage.
So long as mists envelop you, be still.
Be still until the sunlight pours through
and dispels the mists --
as it surely will.
Then act with courage.

Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
