Some good friends brought over a wonderful fruit basket today, only the basket was actually a scalloped-out watermelon with handle. And the fruit was ready-to-eat -- grapes, pineapple, blueberries, watermelon, strawberries. And atop it all, this star-shaped fruit.
Now, i have never seen a star-shaped fruit before. Never heard of one. So, i assumed they had just cut up some normal fruit into the shapes. The forms were so good that it looked like they had used a cookie cutter. When i asked what type of fruit it was, my friends answered, "star fruit".
OK, you guys are pulling my leg, and they even have their 9-year-old daughter in on the joke, as she is calling it star fruit, too. Julie assures me that she's heard of it.
Are you kidding me? There's a fruit that is naturally shaped like a 5-pointed star? And people think all this world came about by some purely mechanistic, random-chance process? God made star-shaped fruit for the pleasure of us people, his grandest creation.
God made this fruit so i could get a kick out of it. That's very cool.

This is indicative of my failure to introduce you to all the various wonders available even in the fruit world. I have known about star fruit for years and have even bought one or two but probably since you left home. It's just as well.....you are enjoying the delight of it all so much more now than you would have as a child.
