My brother goes for Danish blue
My boss is nuts for Port du Salut

To each his own, but as for me,
I cast my vote for creamy Brie

You may even wonder if you've ended up in the Potter's field after all. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish? My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, but I find no rest." (Psalm 22:1-2) As lonely as you may feel, God hasn't forgotten about you. Just wait...

David Johnson
