Okay, you know how I've been experiencing in cooking?
Well, tonight I discovered to NEVER EVER EVER boil okra. Apparently, okra only tastes good fried.
When you boil it, it becomes incredibly SLIMEY..seriously, like, actual slime strings from it as you eat it. I forced myself to eat half a serving and then couldn't make myself eat enough bite with out gagging...NEVER AGAIN! Yuck.
On a brighter note, the grilled chicken I made turned out good. At least one out of 2 things I made for dinner turned out okay!
Did you all have a good easter?
I did..I went to visit my sister Amanda's church cuz she was singing a solo, and let me just say, that her church is unlike ANY church I've EVER been to...and in a good way. The pastor's sermon was titled "tattoo" and a guy on stage was actually getting a real tattoo, on stage, during the sermon while the preacher preached. Something I'd never thought I'd see during a church sermon, but I loved it! The preacher mentioned that verse in the bible(which unfortionately I didn't write down the reference to)that talks about how you shouldn't get tattoos and that alot of christians use that verse to say you shouldn't get tattoos nowadays but that people take that verse out of context because if you look at the whole chapter it also says never to cut your hair or to eat meat that isn't cooked well done...and he pastor said that back then those things were signs of certins religions like one religion you showed your faithfulness to that god by getting tattoos or you only ate meat that wasn't cooked or you cut your hair funky to show you worshiped that god, and that's why it mentioned those things in the bible, it was pertainign to those other religions back then. It didn't actually have to do with cutting your hair or getting a tattoo, it had to do with worshipping false gods. I thought that was pretty interesting...
thoughts, comments?
PS. I'm thinking about dying my hair red again...but I can't decide. What do you think? Should i???

Interesting. Just like drinking verses too I am sure... and women pastors.
Wow, very interesting.....never heard of that before.....
Anyway, thanks for the heads ups on boiling okra. I'll never do that.
Nope, don't do it. You always regret it. Besides summer will be here soon and blonde is much more summery! I agree about the Old Testament. I see a lot of Christians and CHURCHES today cling to it and use the legalism in it to justify treating others in a way that isn't Christlike.Case in point: Westboro Baptist Church. That's an extreme example, but there's plenty of others that do things as well that aren't as extreme but are still incredibly hurtful to others.
AHHH OL my cousin was going there before he died. They did his funeral and were good to the family. They have 3 services, I wonder who the three tattoo ees were.
False Gods... yeah, I've always thought those issues were context. I want to be convinced of everything New Testament before I'm going to feel obligated to comply.
Can never gp wrong with red, the color just washes out FAST!! So buy 3 boxes of dye so you can enjoy it for a while. Seriously, you'll be glad to have the boxes, and we'll all get the redness for a while.
