&lt;p&gt;On this 16th anniversary of my father&amp;rsquo;s death, one might think that the day could pass with just a slight remembering and a moving on - a kind of forgetting as the tasks of the day took over.  Alas, that was not to be!  From the beginning of this month, I started to think of this day approaching.  Luckily for me, my Art class was this morning and I worked diligently at my clay creations.  Vaguely, I remembered the Bible saying something about clay and decided to look it up.  The above verse was one of the ones I found.  My father was a &amp;ldquo;religious&amp;rdquo; man.  He would approve of me looking things like this up.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
