What: " Why are these liberal Catholics so anxious to display their liberalism and so careful to hide their Catholicism? Why, because Catholicism is like the uniform of a soldier. A uniform stands for something. It stands for a cause to which he who ears the uniform has pledged himself. By wearing the uniform, the soldier publicly declares that he has dedicated himself to the cause of his country, and that he is ready to fight, to suffer and to die for it. Even so does the ordinary Catholic who practices his religion."

What: "Salt Lake City is like a mirror image of Denver. It sits on a flat plain (next to a Salt Lake would you believe) with the Rocky Mountains rising dramatically like a wall to the east behind the city (Denver sits on the edge of the great central plains of the USA and has the eastern edge of the Rockies rising majestically in the west behind it)."

What: "A way I found to explain things to a 3yo is to play a family game and teach by analogy. Get the family together and tell the child that gravity is like love. That the more of the family that is together the more love you feel. You stand next to her and give her a light hug. Bring in a another family member to illustrate a larger mass and give a bigger hug. Continue until you have exhausted the entire family, literally or figuratively."
