We have Randy’s new series on our podcast. Lesson one (from last Wednesday) is already there. You can go through iTunes or follow the link from here. Last week he spoke about St. John of the Cross and “the dark night of the soul.” My guess is that it will speak powerful words to those who are at mid-life and above.

We had the dove fajitas this weekend to celebrate my dad’s birthday. They were wonderful, if I do say so myself. Here’s the key: good, fresh guacamole and salsa with a kick. If you have those, then you could have giraffe fajitas or elephant fajitas, and they’d taste great.
I think I’d rather have elephant or giraffe fajitas. Pigeon and snot? No thanks….
I like the new look of the Highlands’ web site. We thoroughly enjoyed Randy’s visit this summer to our church and will pass along this link to our folks here.
Peace.
Gotta make some time to listen to Randy.
Yeah, that’s what my mom always said before she served us liver—”smother it with grilled onions & you’ll just love it.” I love grilled onions, & I love fresh guacamole & salsa with a kick, but there would STILL be liver & dove fajitas left on my plate.
Quiara, you made me laugh, but I think Mike’s going to ban you for that remark!
Heh. By now, I think Mike is aware of my lack of love for his congealed green love. I think, though, that he’s come to terms with the fact that there are just some things on which we’ll never see eye-to-eye. Guacamole and albino pigeons seem to top the list at the moment. (And I think God is on my side here. Avocados aren’t, I think, native to Galilee and the Spirit did not descend in the form of a fajita.)
Your last sentence reminds me of an experience I had in a village near Brno, Czech Republic this past March. I ate fried bull, um, “parts” — a.k.a., “mountain oysters” — for the very first time. When people asked me how they tasted, I told them, “You know, you can take pretty much ANYTHING, bread it, deep fry it, dip it in tartar sauce — and how bad can it be?!?”
(For the record, they were much better than fried oysters.)
I love watching ‘Iron Chef’ until I find out that they are serving up something like Sea Urchin “Uni” - yeah look it up & see what they’re really eating! That show equally disgusts me, yet it also enthralls me!
I downloaded Randy’s lesson…he doesn’t know me and yet he spoke to exactly what I have been struggling with! Podcasts are the bomb!
I visited our local Methodist church last night and watched an amazing swedish movie…”As It is In Heaven” Wonderful discussion afterwords…a little nudity
I meant the movie had a flash of nudity…not the discussion:)
