In Headline this week :Fast-food chain McDonald's has said that it has ended its lengthy seach for a tans-fat-free cooking oil, but has not decided when it will actually begin using it in its 13,700 American restaurants. A fraction of those restaurants are testing the new oil, but it could be months before all the stores covert . . .

This idea is not something new, America is on a healthy kick . . . and scientists are making some good money, trying to find a way to take out the stuff that is bad for our bodies without loosing what makes those Big Mac's taste mmmmm . . . so good. First you saw it with splenda, now the trans-fat trend is sweeping the nation.
if only we could find a tasty substitute . . .

For some reason this got me thinking about spirituality . . .
when it comes to our spiritual lives, the main ingredient is God. and because the spiritual life is what is ultimately important in life, then God is the main ingredient in life. There is only one God and he is nothing like us. And every day we see a miracle when God has chosen to go through this life with us. This life is our life, fit and worked for our condition . . . it's not his, and there is the miracle . . . that we find him here right in the middle of life.
there is no substitution for God, you take him out of life . . . and the flavor doesn't last as long. Life is not all it was meant to be without Him.
______
we all struggle with substituting things in life into God's place . . .
what are you substituting ?

subsitions, where to begin. when you asked the question so many things numbered the list. im ashamed but its in the time of weakness that God is your strength and never leaves. its in the time of weakness that you become even more on fire for God. yet, its also in the times of weakness that you think there is no ending. how do you get rid of the subsitions, how do you truly admit?? glad to see your return to xanga and blog. thanks for making me think. minus the fact that its 2:30am. it was totally worth it. miss and love ya.
