TUNA CASSEROLE

3 c. noodles

1 (6 oz.) can tuna fish, drained

1 can peas

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1/2 c. milk

1 c. potato chips

1/2 tsp. salt

Dash of pepper

Cook and drain noodles. Separate tuna into flakes; mix with soup, milk, and seasonings. Combine noodles and tuna mixture in a baking dish, gently mixing in peas. Crumble chips and spread on top. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes. Makes 6 servings.

no, seriously, i really don't like casseroles of any sort. sodium squishmash. a heap of cheese atop a dish of no creativity. cornflake crusted fat. a dish that doesn't care if you use a spoon, fork or a piece of Wonderbread.

but truly it must be compared with all other things we see written

we do have 'promises' do we not

maybe you are using the wrong kind of soup – try cream of mushroom

"Who in the world do you think you are to second-guess God? Do you for one moment suppose any of us knows enough to call God into question? Clay doesn't talk back to the fingers that mold it, saying, "Why did you shape me like this?" Isn't it obvious that a potter has a perfect right to shape one lump of clay into a vase for holding flowers and another into a pot for cooking beans? If God needs one style of pottery especially designed to show his angry displeasure and another style carefully crafted to show his glorious goodness, isn't that all right?" -Romans 8:20-24

I'm not a 'tuna-casserole' kind of girl (peas or no peas).

where is the strong hand?

where is my tuna-casserole?

I like this part: right now i am trying to be content with: He replied, “I know nothing about that one way or the other. But I know one thing for sure: I was blind . . . I now see.”

There's no way that you're going to get lost in this struggle. Nothing and no one can snatch you out of His hand. (John10:29)

You're fine. You're just growing. If we could hear the thoughts of a flower while it was growing, I bet it would sound the same.

more wait and see, more eliminating expectation, less me – more him, more less

this is actually not what i read in scripture straight out

it is a bit of the 'romanticism' i read when what we have believed about scripture … does not transpire

and we can always be more submitted – that too is on the list

so is a form of false-martyrdom

what we have here is for the most part non-demonstrable (except internally and through personal interpretation)

we seem to have excuses for everything rather than good answers

right now i am trying to be content with: He replied, "I know nothing about that one way or the other. But I know one thing for sure: I was blind . . . I now see."

but i have walked around wide-eyed for so long now, looking for a small indication of a big strong hand

do let me know if i am messing up your blog with my thoughts
