By His Wounds We Are Healed

He was pierced for our transgressions
crushed for our sins
the punishment that brought us peace
was upon Him
and by His wounds, by His wounds we are healed

We are healed by Your sacrifice
by the life that You gave
we are healed for You paid the price
by Your grace we are saved
we are saved

By His Wounds from the Glory Revealed project

What Food Do You Refuse to Eat?

There are quite a few, actually.

First off, I am not a fan of the black eyed peas. (The food, not the band...but then again, the band sucks too...) I don't eat them on New Year's Day, even though certain family members try their hardest to harass me into doing it...saying things such as, "You'll have bad luck!" You say that every year. Has it changed my mind yet? Just saying...

The second thing is tartar sauce. It makes me nauseous. Seriously.

Third...mushy, boiled oatmeal. You know, the breakfast kind that lowers your cholesterol, with the Quaker dude on the box. Oatmeal cookies, however...nom nom nom nom!

Next, lima beans. I will by the more expensive frozen mixed veggies just because they don't have them.

I'm not a huge fan of okra either...I can eat it in gumbo, but any other way, and the sliminess of it puts me off.

I'm also not a big fan of fish, with the exception of salmon and tuna.

Other than that, I'll eat most anything. I'll at least try it once.

How 'bout you??

Starbucks Chocolate?

Apparently, Starbucks is coming out with a line of coffee and tea flavored chocolates. According to this AP story, "the chocolates, which will include a blend of cacao, natural ingredients, Starbucks coffee, Tazo tea and other coffeehouse flavors, will be produced by Hershey Co. unit Artisan Confections Co."

If I find some in a store somewhere, I will try it, and see how good it is. I like the sound of it, though. Coffee + chocolate = win.

Women of the Bible - Interesting Read

I was browsing the web yesterday, and ran across this series of articles at US News & World Report called Women of the Bible. I haven't had a chance to read all of them yet, but the ones I've read so far have been interesting, so I thought I'd share. The article on Mary Magdalene was particularly interesting.

E.L.F. is dumb. Seriously.

E.L.F. (or Earth Liberation Front, for those of you who don't know) has struck again. They decided that in defense of nature (or something) they needed to burn down some multi-million dollar eco-friendly model homes in Washington state.

E.L.F. baffles me. They rail against development in areas citing supposed damage to Ma Earth, yet their method of destruction usually involves setting said development ablaze. Doesn't that send toxic fumes into the air? Isn't that bad for the environment? Just saying.
