Makes all the difference in the world. The Maya used to plant 3 different seeds in one hole, bean, corn and squash. The corn provided the support for the bean to grow up. The beans are nitrogen fixers which means they absorb nitrogen from the air and put it off as nodules on their roots fertilizing the corn and squash. The squash's leaves covered the ground helping to keep it moist and from drying out in the hot Yucatan sun. Together, corn, beans and squash form a complete protein. It's how the Maya could build such a massive civilization. When I was on mission in Guatemala more years ago that I care to admit, the priest used that example to explain the trinity with the corn as God the father (the foundation), the beans as God the son (the nourisher), and the squash as the Holy Spirit (the protector).[/quote] Wow, that is so profound (the part about the trinity). You are just a fountain of interesting information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a line from the movie "Groundhog's Day," where he was debating about whether he was a god or not, and he says, "maybe God's just someone who's been around a long time." I am of course not saying that about God, but it was an interesting way to look at it. Besides, I guess God has been around for a really long time.

He sounds like our priest from Kenya who is big into nutrition. He says that eating fruit first thing in the morning and all your meats last in the evening is good for your diet. The little old man I rent a room out from tried that but I don't think it was too successful being that he's a German so he's gotta have his meat and potatoes.
