The Most Unlikely Resource God Used with Man

When I was young, we lived for a short period in Louisiana. We loved it because there  were several kids in the neighborhood to play with and lots of beautiful orange clay to throw around, roll and dig in. This clay would always wind up embedded in our clothes and my mother had a time
