Thanksgiving

Earlier today I was saying that I dread the day when, a few years after I'm married and everyone else is still at home, I am called upon to host Thanksgiving dinner. It'll be me in the kitchen and three hungry brothers, (plus mom, dad, Aubs, and whomever from his family etc) waiting for LOTS of delicious food to be produced by yours truly. I feared that I couldn't do it alone.

This thought has changed after today- three women should NOT share a kitchen together. Particularily those who are younger trying to take over when they know nothing. It would be easier if people could just be humble and at least TRY to be on top of things, those who know more could pass on traditions to willing ears, but no.

I admit, mom had to put up with me when I was younger. I am still no culinary expert, but at least I did't try to shove my elders out of the way like so much left-over rubbish. Mom and I had fun cooking together, but something changed when a third person entered the mix.

One woman in the kitchen is now plenty.

PS: I AM thankful for my family- always will be :-)

Garbage In - Tal and Acacia

Sittin' alone now,
Thinkin' about things,
Goin' on inside of me.
I feel so angry, so sinful,
And I wonder how this could be.
But, now I remember,
what you said to me long ago.
That what goes in you,
Will one day surely show.
It's gonna show.


Garbage in, Garbage out.
What goes in is found out.
All can see what goes in me.
I pay the price.

I fill my mind with bad things.
So horrible, I feel ashamed they show.
I've taken sin so lightly.
That lately, oh, the darkness is all I know.
The time is now,
Oh, to leave the junk behind.
The moment has arrived,
Where I no longer am blind.
It's garbage in.


Garbage in, Garbage out.
What goes in is found out.
All can see what goes in me.
I pay the price.

Jesus.
Forgive me for leaving you to please myself.
Jesus.
I see the mistake in loving this world's wealth.
Oh lord, grab hold of this sin-filled child.
For now, 'cause the darkness is all around.

The globe is filled with images and information, available online, in newspapers, on tv- 24/7- with images and propaganda that fill our minds. We are constantly filtering- but we know that there are things that we don't even have to subject ourselves to.... yet we do anyway.


Whatever you put into your mind will come back out- The fruits of the Spirit will be evident in the lives of those who allow themselves to be filled with the Spirit =)
