why bother with food?

mom always said she hated eating; it would be wonderful if they could package everything you NEED into a pill, and just take a pill everyday. eating is such a bother, it takes up so much time, you have to cook, blah blah blah...

i used to think she was kinda weird on that one - maybe it is weird, but not to me anymore! it's one of the ways i'm becoming more like my mother (gasp! help! *kidding*).... and after yesterdays kafuffle with the stove, it's getting a little more stuck on me everyday (blase pun intended, lol)!

it's morning, my stomach is all oceanic on me, waves of nausea from being empty all night... i s'pose i should 'break this fast', but..... gee. i'm not in the mood for food.

when the waves start reaching up my throat i'll know it's time to eat.

sometimes i get a craving for something - like a double quarter-pounder when i'm lacking protein, or soup when i'm lacking nutrients (or so i suppose) - other than that i don't crave a whole lot, and not a whole lot even APPEALS to my palate.

except maybe warm cheese croissants from tim hortons.

but i can't live on cheese croissants, as much fun as that would be! lol!

.... but gee.... i already almost kind of live off of 'organic wheat squares' from presidents choice (looks like shreddies, but organic, high in fibre, and tastes better!) and whole milk.

whole grains and dairy.

mom used to live off of multigrain bread and cheese - toast and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, you name it. ......she said it was the closest to 'the food pill' - has a bit of everything in one package ... calories, carbs, proteins, fats, and at least some nutrients.

for us, an empty tummy almost feels better than a full tummy... maybe because the digestive system is not bogged down with multiple food bolus's? (bolii? lol).....

well, it's a family trait that kinda comes in handy - saves time, saves money, saves energy.

save the planet, don't eat! who knew, it's the new green thing to do...!?

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "
Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
