Our Daily Bread
Love! Valor! Compassion is an LGBT movie that I learned about several years ago. It is about a group of gay guys who are very close friends. The movie takes place at a weekend home that they all enjoy together. One of the couples has been together a very long time (by gay or straight standards). At one point, one of them states "Being a role model can be so stressful..." LOL
In today's society where heroes are raised up only to be shamed down, it can be very stressful to be a role model. We see it almost every day now -- respected conservative Christian political leader having an affair with an intern, a restaurant spokesperson who inspired thousands to eat better and lose weight accused of having child pornography, and ministers and priests sexually abusing children. Where have our heroes gone? He lived, died on the cross, and then rose again to be our ultimate hero. His name is Jesus Christ. May we look to him always. May he be with us each day.
Foodie Friday
Another post with random thoughts. That is how my mind has been working this week with my dental issues and ensuing pain. Whew...
A dear friend gave me one of my favorite things: salt potatoes! These salty, buttery potato chunks remind me so very much of my grandmother's dinner table. My grandfather (and I) loved potatoes cooked this way. Nice memories.
Soft food to eat when you have dental issues: ripe bananas, chicken noodle soup, Ensure, protein drinks, chocolate pudding and Greek yogurt are what I have been living on the end of this week. The pain is finally starting to subside a little bit. I hope it goes away completely this weekend. Whew.
Because of the dental issues, I haven't been cooking much. I hope to change that when it heals up.
