Cookin'

Having an insatiable appetite for Buffalo Wings, tonight I made this recipe from the Pioneer Woman. If you haven't seen her cooking blog, YOU are MISSING OUT. She takes so many photos as she is cooking that it is really hard to mess up. This is the second time I've made these wings. On a cold cold Wisconsin night (currently 5 degrees) it's good to be warmed by dinner.

And since the prep is a bit putzier than I'm used to, I brought my laptop into the kitchen, set it on the counter, and let Joyce Meyer preach at me. I was listening to "Habits that will change your Life, part 5" (podcast) and it is EXCELLENT. She really gets to the meat of things, telling us how much energy it takes to fight the Holy Spirit's nudging, and that we NEVER win so we might as well just GIVE IN. I especially heard her tell of the habit of forgiving people for small grievances. I've felt the weight of unforgiveness, and I can SEE the weight of it in others. (sometimes it's easier to see it in others...just gotta remember to apply it to me) You can listen to Joyce here. Today's radio show is on forgiveness...haven't listened to it yet. *** Once on her site, you'll have to go onto radio podcasts to figure out how to listen to back episodes. You need not have an ipod... just download an itunes player on your computer, and load the podcasts there. (this is not a complete discussion...sorry)

PS Ha...just did a spell check and spelled it u-n-f-o-r-g-i-v-e-m-e-s-s. Hmmmm. You trying to tell me something, God?

*** Have listened to today's radio show now. WHEW. It is such an applicable message on forgiveness. How easy it is to hold small grievances within us. To be so easily annoyed, and then hold on to it ...LISTEN here. (1/13/09 broadcast: The Benefit of Forgiving Others, Part 2)
