Sometimes when I make mac and cheese I use blocks of nice cheddar, instead of the pre-shredded stuff.  But sometimes I am too lazy to shred it, or even let the food processor shred it.

So I cut cubes. They melt eventually, just taking a little longer than grating.

God, whose almighty word

Chaos and darkness heard,

And took their flight:

Hear us, we humbly pray,

And where the gospel day

Sheds not its glorious ray,

Let there be light!

Savior, you came to give

Those who in darkness live

Healing and sight,

Health to the sick in mind,

Sight to the inward blind:

Now to all humankind

Let there be light!

Debra and her husband stopped in their walk around the neighborhood. As we spoke, another couple strolled by - they waved and we said a loud "hi!". I don't know who they were. Two weeks ago, one or the other of us may have been too preoccupied or less aware of the other to offer a greeting. Now, things are different. May it continue, on all sides.
