Buceo Xtabay Quotes & Sayings

Holiness is made of dailiness, of living life as it comes to me, not as I insist it be. — Joan D. Chittister

The eminent cleric was poking fun at original sin. 'That sin is your meal ticket. Without it, you'd die of hunger, for your ministry would then no longer have any meaning.

Another little-known favorite of mine takes some forethought in the early summer. We've all seen ox-eye daisy (Chrysanthemum leucanthemum) in fields and on roadsides; maybe you even grow it in your garden. As long as you can properly identify it, and as long as you can pick some from a safe, pesticide-free area (without secreting it from your neighbor's garden, even if she does grow a ton), snag handfuls of blooms and dry them well before storing them in a clean, dry jar with a tight-fitting lid. When a stuffy nose comes along, make a mug of tea with a heaping teaspoon of dried blooms. In about 30 minutes or less, a stuffed nose will be clear, and it should stay that way effectively for 4 to 6 hours, same as any cold capsule -- without the side effects. This works best with swollen nasal passages or a drippy nose. Drink a cup of the tea up to 4 times a day. — Diane Kidman

Religion has become the blind spot of American journalism. — D. Patrick Miller
