They ARE Paying Attention

Last summer, a portion of our vacation took place in Yellowstone National Park. The geysers, mud pots, steam vents, and other hydrothermal sites were a big hit with the kids. I especially enjoyed seeing the place on the circle drive where a bubbling stream tumbles into a waterfall right at the caldera, or edge of the volcanic crater, that forms a large part of the park.

Now months later, David, Kola, and I were having a seemingly unrelated conversation about U.S. burial practices. The topic of burial vs. cremation came up, and I was doing my best to explain the differences. One of the boys, trying to understand cremation, asked me if it was like putting the body into a volcano!
