God can use all sorts of means -- even common sense -- to say what He wants to say!

     I'll bet that "the Word of God" is much much more than all the contents of the Bible!

      Besides, saying that "the Bible is the Word of God," doesn't require anyone to believe that God hasn't spoken (doesn't speak) through other means!  I'll bet that it doesn't require anyone to believe that its words are the exact words God spoke.  Even if it could be said that its words are God's very own words, that doesn't require anyone to believe be a literalist, and it doesn't excuse anyone from misinterpretation of any of it.  It is entirely possible for God to use fiction, poetry, science, math, literature, visual art, philosophy, common sense, intuition, etc to say what he wants to say.

Adam and Eve have provided no proof ... against Homosexuality.

I believe the Adam and Eve story provided in Genesis has provided NO proof that God has ever locked into His created order any prohibitions against homosexuality. I believe that from the moment two of the same gender / sex appeared on earth, homosexuality became a provided and viable option for same-sex couples who fell in love with each other and wanted to become a legally recognized family in the sight of all heaven and earth. Although, I can believe that heterosexuality was made the natural conduit for inheritance from one generation to another through procreation, I certainly do believe that both heterosexuality and homosexuality have always been, and still are, natural and therefore should have been, and were meant to be, accommodated in order to solidify family and properly pass on inheritance not based upon genetics by all laws. I believe that all prohibitions made against homosexuality have been blasphemous distortions of God’s Holy Word and assaults against Holy

I could call this Red Copper Skillet Lasagna!

Image
      When I was having fun making this, I had a few objectives in mind. 1) Use that square red copper skillet; 2) use up leftovers that were in the fridge; and 3), of course, enjoy a good time!       I didn't know we didn't have any store bought lasagna noodles!  Oh darn!  I guess I just have to make some!  Let's put some bread flour and eggs to work!       I had some herbs growing from pots out on the porch, so I got to enjoy using them!  I cleared the fridge of some leftover chicken, ground beef, and pork cutlets.  Chop, chop, chop!  Heat, stir, taste, correct with herbs, spices, and seasoning.  Repeat if necessary!      Did I mention we had some left over sour cream and ricotta cheese too!     We ate about half of it on the first go around!  I love, love, LOVE left over lasagna!

I wanted Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Frosting!

Image
     For me, cooking and eating are recreations I enjoy immensely! Grocery shopping is a recreation I enjoy immensely!  My kitchen will always be a workshop where I enjoy myself!        I don't own the kitchen where I've been cooking lately, so I can't have everything where I want it to be all the time. So, I make do and do the best I can to enjoy myself and I hope the folk with whom I share my cooked goods enjoy them.  If they don't it's okay for them to say so.  Bombing out can be a teachable moment!  Usually, they like it, but they know I'll make it different the next time, so they should expect surprises!      I know how to do simple cake decorations, but it a rare occasion when I decorate a cake.  I make cakes because I want them to eat.  When I want fruitcake, whether in June or November, I make fruitcake.  When I want yellow cake, that's what I make.  On this day, I wanted chocolate cake with chocolate frosting.  I didn't care any
