hot sauce

SlimySlick thinks he is really hot sauce and thinks he’s really something but his slim is just slim but he doesn’t know it. Our human knowledge is limited; yes it is. There is soooo much that we have no idea about (i.e. even about ourselves); some stuff is way beyond our human mind.

There is an old concept I seem to understand better these days. And that concept is to not throw the baby out with the bath water. I think there is good in everyone (i.e. some seem to have more good than others maybe it seems). The bath water might not be all sooo clean, but I don’t want to throw the baby out with the dirty bath water. CadillacJack says--BUT sometimes it seems easier! I had to take a bath in the same water that my sister used when I was a kid. I would guess some of you did as well. I'm gad my parents didn't throw me out with the bath water!

I think the human mind is unfathomable! We cannot comprehend it with our human mind. Impossible. It’s just amazing! You talk about hot sauce! Dr.J says--“The human brain is arguably the climax of God’s creation, the most incredible invention in His universe. It’s a fabulous, living super-computer with unfathomable circuitry and unimaginable complexity, a collection of billions of neurons, each as complex as a small computer. They’re all inter-connected, and one scientist said that the number of connections within one human brain rivals the number of stars and galaxies in the entire universe.” We really are hot sauce!

I’m looking for some hot sauce! Something that has some real zing to it! I’m not talking about some hot sauce at Taco Bell but some sauce for my life that will be exciting, effective, lasting, fun and worthwhile. I’m looking for an opportunity! Now what will that be? I don’t know 100% for sure yet but….! I don’t want it to be something that just fills my time, but something more than that. Actually, I have a pretty good idea what that hot sauce is going to be! I don’t want it to be like worry-- Worry is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do, but it isn’t good for anyone. I’m sorta kinda excited about this hot sauce thinking I have.  I think it will zing up my life!

Here is some hot sauce for us to use to build relationships. “A Psychology Today article tells the story of a man struggling with alcoholism who resisted attending Alcoholics Anonymous for decades. When he finally went to his first meeting, he said: “I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! People were talking about things I thought and felt, it was as if they knew me, knew my problems, and had answers I couldn’t get anywhere else.” Sharing our testimonies reminds us we’re not alone when life is hardest. There is a particular kind of encouragement given when someone vulnerably shares their story of loss or distress and then tells what (or who) rescued them. I believe that we are not saved by good works, but we are saved for good works.”  I think that is hot sauce!

We as a grandparent can be hot sauce, maybe even when we don't even know it or ever will soooo don't get discouraged. When traveling we were looking at a restaurant for dinner and were talking to the café director, that is what he called himself. He was in his late 20s. We had a nice talk and then I asked him if he was a believer as he had on a cross around his neck—he said—sometimes I am and sometimes I’m not, some of the stuff I believe and some of the stuff I don’t; I’m rather confused. I wear the cross honoring my grandmother who was a believer and helped me a lot in life. That’s hot sauce!

Flip the pancake! We were talking to some friends who were going to drive over and see a grand daughter play in a golf tournament and called her mom (i.e. their daughter) and asked if she would want to walk with them to visit--no, I can't, I'm taking care of my grand daughter--soooo, when will you be done--in a couple of hours--well, maybe you can join us for her back nine soooo we can visit some--well, not really, I'm taking care of another daughter's family dog--you mean now we are behind a dog!

When we were in NY, we stayed in Jersey City and the light rail was close to our motel. We decided to take it to the port for Elis Island and the Statue of Liberty. We were somewhat confused soooo we asked a NY businessman who was dressed very NY business proper carrying a expensive briefcase. He helped us and we thanked him. Later he came back to us in the train and gave us more information. I said to him—You are a good person. He looked at us like he never was told that before and had no idea what to say (i.e. maybe that was hot sauce to him).  After a couple of stops he left the train and as he walked past our train window, he gave us the thumbs up to us.

My Daddy, Chester, taught me—Test it against the worst possible scenario and if it passes, it’s probably a good deal!  My new opportunity passes the worst possible scenario soooo it’s a good deal (i.e. I like the odds in my favor). Or maybe I don’t know what the worst possible scenario is!  Now that could be! Such is life. BUT how do I know if it will work if I don’t try! I'm on it! ItchieBitchie says--erv, throw those chips away and get your butt off the couch and do something!

Have a FUN day my friends unless you have other plans. (-:
