It's not something that appeals to me in the slightest. Additionally, it mimics pagan religions' need for a "pilgrimage" of sorts. <BR/><BR/>I grew up in the church and I just do not understand why someone would feel compelled to travel thousands (or even hundreds) of miles to go through what sounds like absolute torture!<BR/><BR/>If we really want to have plays based on the scriptures then let's revive the old "road shows" and encourage our youth to act out the more action-packed parts of the scriptures. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-25225394149214565972008-12-15T07:34:00.000-06:002008-12-15T07:34:00.000-06:00Remember to budget enough money to ip your waiter ...Remember to budget enough money to ip your waiter or waitress when you dine. Too many times the Mormon family of 8 takes a significant amount of the server's time and then leaves no tip at all.

I have two inexpensive Olympus 4-megapixel cameras, a C-725 with 10X optical zoom and an even older C-4000 camera with just 3X optical zoom but better responsiveness in low light. Not very expensive, but I'm happy with the Olympus optics. I still often tweak the results a bit with Serif PhotoPlus 10 (which I prefer over version 11). <BR/><BR/>I did try a Canon Digital Rebel 8MP DSLR camera for a couple of weeks but didn't like the results - the standard optics didn't capture things as well as the Olympus optics. Fast and versatile, but the results were slightly disappointing. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to get an Olympus digital SLR camera (E-3 or E-30) when I have money to burn someday (with hyperinflation inevitably coming down the road, it could be sooner than we think - though burning is all it will be good for then). Can't justify it yet.Jeff Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776493593387402607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139169.post-10480475816158648052008-12-14T18:28:00.000-06:002008-12-14T18:28:00.000-06:00Jeff, what kind of camera do you use?
