regarding choices:  Oftentimes, we come across an option to leave things as they were/how God made or a modified version.  Technology, science & medicine has come a long way through the years.  Does that mean it is taking the mystique out of God or what he has created?  Does it weaken Him at all?  Does it mean that choosing to use something genetically modified or that doesn't naturally occur mean that we're not trusting God for it?  Does not making the most of the opportunities presented to us mean that we're not trusting God, even when those opportunities have something 'unnatural' going on?  I'm thinking mostly of egg donations and other ways that people try to get pregnant, as well as heart- & other organ-transplants.  Pregnancy I won't share much on, as it seems like something highly personal and I can't speak for how I'd feel or act in that situation.  As for transplants, I'm a donor & think it's great that we're able to give life or at least a better life to others!  My grandma recently underwent some tests, and currently refuses to put her name on a heart-transplant list.  This has divided our family a bit, at least in the sense that we have differing opinions & all care about Grandma and want the best for her (and for us- we love spending time with her!)...  In the meantime, she'd taking medication and will get a pacemaker in a few months.

about cravings:  this can go in any number of directions!  the main thing I was thinking about was how sometimes I wonder if I didn't experience something enjoyable in the first place, would I want it?  or crave it?  I wouldn't technically *miss* it...  That doesn't stop me from enjoying life most of the time- at least not consciously.  For icecream, it has a bit- or at least I know what good icecream & frozen custard tastes like, and the harsher (icier) faker stuff is not appealing- and that makes me wonder if we grow accostomed (sp?) to new, *better* things and have a hard time going back?  I really could go on about this, but won't.
