Hold the Pickles! Hold the Lettuce! Yeah....It's That Good

What’s that?”

“My blog.”

“My blog?”

“Yeah…. I like it.”

“Really? My blog…. Well, I’ve heard of it. It’s a nice presentation, but…. You don’t seem to be enjoying it much.”

“Nah. You know, it’s funny but, lately, it’s actually been rather stale.”

“Stale?!”

(Coughing) “Sometimes it can be a little dry, and I like it that way, but….”

“Toasted?”

“Um… No, just dry. But it usually has a lot of fresh meat and tons of flavor. If anything, it goes overboard on the condiments. Some folks get lost in the condiments.”

“Like too much spicy mustard?”

“Spicy? No, my blog is rarely spicy.”

“Pickles?”

“Um…Sometimes my blog releases some well-preserved, vacuum-packed zinginess, but….”

“Mayo? Ketchup? Salsa??”

(Sigh) “It’s stale, like someone took it out of the fridge and left it on the hot sand for a week or more. The meat still lingers of smokiness, which I don’t like. It’s got this strange essence to it, like someone added too much sea salt. Yeah, it looks good. Nice brown color. But, it’s totally lacking vibrancy (i.e., cowbell). Too many cooks, perhaps…like the head chef went on vacation and let kids run the kitchen.”

“Gee…Maybe I should get something else.”

“What are you, crazy!??!”

“Huh?”

“You don’t dump my blog off your personal menu board because it’s stale.”

“You don’t?”

“No!”

“Why not?”

“Because…. I still like it.”

(Long puzzled glance. Shrugs shoulders.) “OK…. Can I have some?”

“Maybe tomorrow. I think I hear the meat truck coming.”

Am I one of the kids in the kitchen?

Is it because you do it all for us? (like Burger King or McDonalds).

I am a little confused.

BUT I am excited to have new meat - even if it is mystery meat. :)

On this Merry Christmas Night....

Merry Christmas, blog friends! I know you're wondering, "Did she finish painting her family room (finally....)??" (Nope!) * * * D oesn't this look like how our days are sometimes? Myriad things scattered about, unfinished. Trying to take a cozy, restful seat by the fire, but still that seat stays empty. We try to make things brighter, but the light strings don't quite have the power to make things clear for us. And we wonder how many coats it will take to cover up what had been there before, without splotches and unevenness. (Three may just be right--sigh....!) * * * We may have things unfinished. We may have "miscalculated" the use of our time. Or perhaps we were called away to other things for which we were needed, even if they weren't part of our plans. Even in our peaceful approach to Christmas, that seat of rest may be vacant. But the opportunity to "Be still...." doesn't always lie in a cozy sea...

When I was 45....

Awesome day on tap.... sunshine, take-out barbecue for dinner, cake.... Thanks for celebrating with me! Enjoy.... ( Let it rise....One of my all-time favorite praise songs! )

Post #100

L ong before we bloggers celebrated our first 100 posts, the psalmists provided us with theirs. In recognition of my 100th, let's celebrate by looking at the Bible's "Post #100" (a.k.a., Psalm 100, A Psalm for Thanksgiving or Thank Offering): Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Surprisingly, there is no direct Hebrew translation for the English word 'joyful' as used in this verse in the King James Version. That leaves things a bit open to interpretation. My study Bible (NASB) says 'joyful' is "a shout of loyalty and homage." The dictionary defines 'joy' with the word rejoicing, meaning "to be made glad again." 'Noise,' however, does come with a Hebrew equivalent, meaning "to split the ears with sound," as in to shout, shout for joy. Lands implies all the earth, the nations, the world. We, those of all nations, are to present to the Lord, out of our loyalty and homage to Him, joyful shouts that...
