Lent

So what are you really doing. Sacrifice and discipline.
What I see is really not relative, explain it to me.

Giving up something you love, but really don't need is that a sacrifice?

Doing something for others, now that I can understand, but still a sacrifice?

Fat Tuesdays

So what is this all about. Fat Tuesday use to be the day to use up product in the cupboard that we wouldn't use for the next 6 weeks as we celebrated Lent.
A lot of times it would be some kind of treat, because treats were small pieces of sweets and you were just using up the products in the larder, not purchasing other things to finish the product.

Today we purchase items to consume, so no activity to use up all that fat or sugar.
More on Lent tomorrow.

Additives

I know the FDA allows for many substances in your food that doesn't have to be counted.
Like so many bugs, and of course, rodent turds. Can't get rid of all that if you are in a large manufacturing building. That's a fact that has been known for years and we have placed in the backs of our little minds when eating Jif. But now all the rage is about your protein that is added.
L-cysteine is a protein additive, as well as a dough conditioner. It is made
from dissolved human hair or duck feathers.
Human hair and duck feathers??? Not so sure about that, sure it is probably sterilized which of course the bugs and turds are not, but still the bugs and turds are not purposely add, the hair and feathers are.

So when do you get fed up and stop eating their food, and make your own.

Flu, drama, break ups, oversdoses, enablers, questions, answers, just plain overwelming.

I am so glad God gives us the tools to overcome all of this, all we have to do is follow his lead and he delivers. He even allows us to make our mistakes and still forgives us, he teaches us, and guides us and most of all gives us peace all just for asking.

If you are still struggling, struggling with not understanding or being hurt, feeling unsettled, just ask Jesus for the answers and then listen carefully and follow his instructions. (even if it makes no sense) He only has our best interests and will give you peace and all of his love.

What reason do you consume products? Is it to fuel your body? What do you use the energy for?
How many hours are you moving per day. What is your goal.
What have you accomplished.

How do you feel.

Frankenfood

Ate at a popular restaurant on Friday evening. Ordered a sirloin steak.
What I received was anything but a steak. Good flavor, but texture was just off. Started researching to find out that yes they do form their meats from scrap meat and meat glue.
Not sure about the poultry still trying to figure it out, we know chicken nuggets are also formed this way, but I certainly didn't expect to get a 7oz steak that I paid 11. for.
Know I won't be ordering that again.

What do you show people. Do you live the same life in public as you do at home behind closed doors.
Do you respect your loved ones even tho you don't believe they deserve it?
Respecting them doesn't need to mean you always agree, or even give into their inadequency, it just means you don't treatment as less than anyone else, even when they make you angry.
Is your anger about them or more about you.

From Joyce today
What you do in front of people is nothing if you are not living the same life at home behind closed doors. (Matthew 6:5-7
