Today's last word ... from reading in Matthew 14 and 3 Nephi 26:

"And it came to pass that he did teach and minister unto the ^achildren of the multitude of whom hath been spoken, and he did ^bloose their ^ctongues, and they did speak unto their fathers great and marvelous things, even greater than he had revealed unto the people; and he loosed their tongues that they could utter."                                                                         -- 3 Nephi 26:14

Gives added meaning to the concept of "out of the mouths of babes ... "

Cheerio!
