Say thanks to who, Monsanto?

That was a very good story. You don't have to be believe in God to do grace before every meal. I think that most people should say thank you, not just to God. But, to other people who make our meals.The cooks, the chefs, the dinner ladies in our schools and hospitals.

The waitresses and waiters how give us our food.The farmers, fishermen and buchers who produce our food.

i say thank you to everyone: friends, family, farmers, fishermen, butchers, chefs and God. God bless you Mark!

I believe that this has been my favorite video by far...

You may not believe in religion or a higher power, but you have such a gracious heart and that is proven when you saw what you saw, and for you to have felt the way you felt.

Being human is not about religion it is about that inner you that makes you stop, think, and realize what you have in front of you even if it is not much.

Thanks Mark, great story...

Around 15 years ago I met up with a former member of the IRA here in Western Canada.

He had just wrapped up a 14 year bit in a British jail.

A very interesting fellow indeed.

A lot like you.

Dear Mark,

I have been watching you for months and months now and I want to personally thank you for the truly brilliant laughs, intelligence, and rage.

Please know that even if you do not believe in God, he will always and forever believe in you. The tale that you have just told makes my heart swell with joy, as well as putting a tear in my eye, at your words, and the understanding that you have shown of what humility truly is.

God bless you, brother, keep up the amazing works.

Did Stephen Fry recommend ChunkyMark?  Where?

[downfader2]

I dont know if its about saying thankyou (obviously I'd say this to the girl in the cafe, or whoever had given me the meal)... more about *being* thankful. Thankful that we can afford to eat, that bombs & bullets aint going off over our heads, that we have somewhere warm to sit & rest.

Having the ability to reflect on the circumstances of others makes us human, and makes us good.Turning that into gestures (even so much as holding a door open) gives us peace.

Praise be the one & only Stephen Fry! :))
