Like a fat kid loves cake

This post is part PSA, part bookmark.

Doesn’t this look great?

happy-cakeIt’s a rainbow cake. Perfect for a celebration of fabulousness or really just any get-together. The drab color of the frosting really makes the interior colors pop.

I’m fascinated by this concept, even though it’s as simple as food coloring in white cake. I love color like Bob Ross loved happy little trees.

You can’t hide yourself

leave a comment »

“My father was a pastor. He was very gentle, very human. From him I got the caring to treat patients. When we would go and visit sick people together, he would pray. I would ask, ‘Why can’t you give them tablets or prescriptions?’ He said, ‘I am not a doctor.’ I decided then that prayer is not enough. People must take things into their own hands. Asking God does not change anything. He gives us the ability to say yes or no. You must use your hands, your mind. When I receive women here who are hungry, I can’t say, ‘God bless you.’ I have to give them something to eat. When someone is suffering, I can’t tell her about God, I have to treat her pain. You can’t hide yourself in religion. Not a solution.”

- Dr. Denis Mukwege
