Default Frank Lloyd Wright house in Alabama

Have you ever been to a Frank Lloyd Wright house? We went off for a weekend a few weeks ago and while visiting Helen Keller's birthplace in Tuscumbia, I found a pamphlet for this place:

It was totally cool, and built in 1939. Wright designed the furniture as well, making it out of plywood (which he loved, apparently).

They say Wright concerned himself only with the aesthetics of his creations. When one homeowner complained that the flat roofs leaked (as did this one), Wright replied that the homeowner should get pots and pans to catch the water.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
