It is also the most tasteless thing ever made... And it's impossible to get in the states!

I think you were responding ot Kung Fuzed. My wife was born in Baltimore. She's a haole (white in Hawaiian slang). Are you saying that your wife is from the Philippines like Kung Fuzed tall white Filipino? People from the Philipines tend to be Roman Catholic. Hey did you guys convert your wives to Mormonism? I am Filipino, therefore all of our kids may look alike.

If you are talking about poi, you need to saturate it with sugar, othewise you are eating paste.

Seeing that in my post i had quoted Kung, i was clearly talkign to him.

You're a filipino, then why aren't you Roman Catholic?

My wife was Roman Catholic and she convered to the LDS faith by herself after we got married.

I do think about my past quite a bit, and the sovereign hand of God in my life. I do believe in generational Christianity. God seemed to have skipped a generation in my family. My parents were born in Hawaii. Three of my four Grandparents are from the Philipines and one of them converted to Protestantism from Roman Catholicism before migrating to Hawaii as young adults. My Grandmother on my mom's side was born in Hawaii and brought up Seventh Day Adventist. My Mom was brought up in a strict Protestant (Congregational) environment, and my Dad was a nominal Catholic but didn't go to church. My family stop going to a protestant church (Filipino Methodist Church) when I was in 3rd grade because we moved. My brother was a pro surfer, and we lived a wild pagan surfing partying life all through my youth, and young adult life in southern CA. I really wonder how I personally came back full circle to my Christian roots from my Mom's side, especially considering my personal life. I attribute everything to the grace of God, because I was spirituality blind as could be.

doesn't look like much has changed considering you walk aroudn with spiritual blinders to everything that contradicts what you think to be.
