You're the only Jesus...

Our Daily Bread
..some will ever see, you're the only words of life, some will ever read..." These lyrics are from yet another old Contemporary Christian song I used to sing when I was in college. "IIf not in you, I wonder where will they ever see the One who really cares?" If not in me? Yikes!

This goes back to my old joke about wearing my church tshirt. I don't like wearing it for long because that means I have to be nice to people! I don't want to embarrass my church!

Like this blog, my life is an open book for all to read. Will my readers see a loving man of God, a scary character that deserves to belong in a Saw movie or a reality TV show, or something else? If not in me. If not in you. How will they see the love of God?

Lord, I want to show your love each and every day, in each and every way.

The recipe theme for this month is Thanksgiving! Yeah! I LOVE Thanksgiving meals! I am trying some different recipes this year with a friend who is cooking Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. This will be exciting. Here is the bacon-jalapeno stuffing recipe we are trying tomorrow:

Other Stuff
I messed up a calendar entry last night. I showed up for an appointment that I had on my calendar incorrectly. Oh well. I picked up supper and spent some time with fly bear. He helped me with the Thanksgiving meal shopping for this Saturday's cooking extravaganza. We had a nice time hanging out.

I had to work for a few hours last night. Lots of things going on the last part of the year. I am trying to keep a handle on them. It will all work out. I need to be steady and not stress eat.

I am looking forward to this weekend. Lots of fun activities planned as well as some rest.

Something is going on with me. I don't know what. The road ahead of me is unclear, however, I will trust God and keep walking.

Hang in there, my friends! I will be upbeat and steady. That is what I do...
