Scarlet Quinoa (wood) – We Love God!

There is a sense in which the human soul has caved in on itself and is now held captive by a fixation with its own states and conditions and concerns. The soul has become parasitic on itself, feeding on its needs and cravings by excessive introspection and elaborate attempts to elevate its sense of self-worth. Your soul was never meant for this. You were designed for something better. You were built for the contemplation of something infinitely more complex, something incomparably more fascinating than your own “self.” You were created for the joyful contemplation of God.

information on  QUINOA, wild rice, corn, mesquite and amaranth. Quinoa
is a mellow,  nutty, subtly sweet grain that has the highest nutrition
profile of  any grain. It was first cultivated 8,000 years ago in the
Andes  Mountains. Wash quinoa before you cook it. It is coated with a
natural substance that tends to make it bitter.--RW  Notes: "The
