OREOS
In Greek, the word for 'beautiful' is 'oraio'...which sounds close enough to... it's a long running joke that it must have been a Greek who invented them, since they're tasty, called that, and lenten!

FRUITLESS DISCUSSIONS
The Power and Influence of Good Deeds
"For it is the will of God, that with well-doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men (1 Peter 2:15).
Bishop Nikolai Velimirovic tells us in The Prologue from Ochrid that we are better off if we do not engage others in lengthy debates and fruitless discussions, but that we can better change their hearts by our love and good deeds. Arguing with others, even over matters of faith, is usually a fruitless venture, rarely leading the other to ponder the truth of your words. Better to demonstrate truth by holiness of life, patience, and kindness in our response. Entering into heated words most often leads to a standoff, where only the demons win in the end.
