Stop wearing your faith





I was driving down the road this evening, headed to target, when something interesting happened to me that made me laugh and also really pissed me off.   It all started with my bad driving.  :)   I was trying to change lanes and I didn't see the other car.  As I was trying to merge over the car laid on their horn for a few seconds and I jerk my car back into the lane I was in.  No big deal.  Well this is where it gets interesting.  The car I cut off sped up and came up next to my car and both people in the car looked at me and starting talking as if I could hear them. (I am about 99% sure what they were saying was not nice)  I could tell they were not happy and after their rant they both gave me death stares.  After they were done they thought it would be fun to pass me and cut me off.   I was so pissed at them.  If I could, I would have rammed my car right in the back of the theirs... Anyway as they cut me off I noticed a decal they had on the back of the car.   It was a nice little Christian fish you see up top.  I couldn't help but laugh, ARE YOU KIDDING ME... look how childish you are acting and on top of that you are telling everyone in the world you are Christians... great... good work morons.  My laughter turned into disgust and anger because of those exact same reasons.   I am not perfect but for me it was a good reminder that if we are going to put our faith on our shirts, cars, facebook, etc, then we better make sure we are backing up what we are telling the rest of the world.  Especially for me, I need to be watchful and on guard at all times that my speech and actions do not contradict God's commandments or character! 


New food creation



I recently made some black bean burgers and homemade french fries.  The burgers were pretty good.  They were a bit too spicy but, I think Ketchup is spicy.  :)  The fries were super good.  I really kind of winged it and they turned out to be amazing.  I cooked them in olive oil with some herbs mixed in.  REALLY GOOD.  If you want the recipe let me know.  I would love to share it.
