Nutty chocolates make a tempting gift at holiday time. These were a gift from one of my dad's parishioners (he's a Methodist minister). At right you can also see one of the stained glass windows in his Montana church. If you'd been in church today, you would have heard a somewhat spirited sermon about how the Iraq war is not righteous or Christian. Of course, you would have had to listen fairly carefully to pick that out; discretion is sometimes the better part of spiritual guidance.
