It takes me 15-20 minutes to drive to work in the morning. (It actually takes 15-20 in the afternoon and evening as well...) Anyway, this particular morning I weakened and peeled the banana I packed for an afternoon snack just moments after leaving my subdivision. So I have zero willpower. This we know. Anyway, I'm glad I did. This particular banana on this particular morning tasted particularly wonderful. Which made me think about that God of mine who made the banana.

And that led to thinking about all the vegetables I enjoy. And that led to thinking about whether or not God has ever actually tasted them.

About Me
- Name:ret
- Location:Illinois, United States
Life is about as good as it gets right now. I have an awesome husband who keeps hanging around despite my many practical jokes; a newly married daughter, who is the light of my heart & the most wonderful son-in-law in my world. I have the most wonderful sister in the world and adore her family to bits. I have many good friends and a few really close ones. I've learned enough in the last couple years to know I'm never quite sure where God is taking me, but I know it will be an amazing ride in the end...
