“Firmly Planted” up and running
My blog, much to the suprise of my colleagues at Master’s Church, is up and running. Thanks, Andrew, Marc, Tom, and (maybe) Jordan. “Why the banana smoothie theme?”, you may ask. Quite simply, it’s an awesome way to start the day. Small meals several times a day, right Lori Dawn? Take one banana, six packets of Splenda (come on, you gotta have some sweet factor), one cap full of vanilla extract, and 3/4 cup of 1%milk. Once you’ve got that blended, add one cup of ice (ice that has been sitting out a few minutes actually can make a “smoother” smoothie), blend, pour, and enjoy!
Well, that answers the “pressing” smoothie question; now, what about this “firmly planted’ business? Simply, the title comes from Psalm 1, where a wise Christian is compared to a tree “planted along the riverbank, bearing fruit in its season. Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do.” (Psalm 1:3, NASB) The Bible speaks of the wisdom that can be found in following God, specifically through a relationship with Jesus Christ. This kind of wisdom comes from being “firmly planted” in the knowledge and application of Scripture in everyday life. While my faults and humanity often come through more than I care to mention in my attempts at living according to God’s Word, my desire is to uphold His truth in all I do.
Enough blogging for today–Marc, I know you’re suprised I’ve kept it this short. It’s time for low fat, microwave popcorn. Not as complicated as smoothies, but just as good. If you need a recipe for microwave popcorn, follow this link and eat happy: imadorkandshouldnotbeallowedinakitchen.com.
