My two favorite subjects

Food and God, God and food.

I would like to say I'm the kind of person who always thinks of God first. I don't think that I am that kind of person actually, yet the position I am in requires that God comes first, and that's how it is 99.9% of the time.

I get up in the morning and rush right to the computer. My desire is to Godwrite ™, to take care of God business, if I may call hearing from God and receiving His Love business. Usually, in the morning, it doesn't occur to me to think of food or drink. First of all, I'm not hungry in the mornings.

I tend to wake up in the morning, and I'm thinking, what wonderful manner of things will God talk about in Godwriting this morning. What wonderful manner of things will He declare? What will He whisper to me that will seize my heart and never let it go? What new angle of thought and perception will He reveal? What will I learn and be embossed by, and what will I forget? And I know that it doesn't matter what we remember, or what we forget, because when God has made a thumbprint on on our hearts, some impression is left. It may be faint, yet it is still there. There are all these thumbprints all over my heart or wherever it is that God leaves them.

This morning, however, when I woke up, staying under the warm covers for a little while, I thought of food. I was thinking of what I might make for breakfast which I may well have at 2 o'clock in the afternoon because when I am at God's work, I like to get done all I can before I stop for a break.  It could be said that I don't eat breakfast.

Anyway, you could never guess what I was thinking of for a breakfast this morning. I bet you a million dollars you would never think of it.

I have some Brazil nuts that I have soaked. My friend Marie says that Brazil nuts are a rich source of selenium. I have no idea what selenium is, but I like the name and I want selenium. My friend Marie also recommends a tablespoon a day of blackstrap molasses,  a good source of iron and other minerals.

A tablespoon of straight blackstrap molasses is hard to take after a while, so when I could no longer swallow blackstrap molasses straight, Marie suggested I could put soaked Brazil nuts, distilled water, and blackstrap molasses in the blender and make a nut milk from them. I have done that a few times and enjoyed it. This morning I had the idea of adding a raw egg as well. So, that's what I was thinking of this morning before God took over.

I also thought of the continuing ed Godwriting workshop yesterday (Saturday.) We love talking about God, and we love Godwriting together. Actually, George's and my Godwriting had some of the same theme, how we don't begin to know all the good we are doing in our lives and in our Godwriting. Laura had some beautiful words from God that held us in a spell, and Jacqueline had some very grounded and insightful Godwriting about her work.

And when the workshop was done, we knuckled down to eating. We had a wonderful sour dough bread toasted with fresh goat cheese with fired red peppers and olive oil on top. We had a hot and sweet onion and pepper dip with cream cheese on blazing hot tortilla chips. We had some Brazil nuts to dip in honey. We had slices of a delicious poppyseed sweet bread that the librarian who also knows Heaven Admin had brought over, and we had some delicious and healthy granola bars that Laura had brought. After everyone left, I ate up the granola bars that were left.

God and food -- it's a great combination. I recommend both highly. :)
