In the Slammer...

I don't eat Grand Slams like a normal person.

I love Denny's.

Denny's had a bacon-fest about a year ago.

Changed my life.

Have you ever considered bacon with ice cream? I have....in my dreams. When those dreams became a reality, everything in life made sense.

But Baconanza didn't last forever, so I settle for a Grand Slam Slugger.

For those of you who are unaware, a Grand Slam Slugger consists of two glorious pancakes, two glorious eggs, two glorious strips of BACON, two also glorious links of sausage, and a significantly glorious amount of hashbrowns. IT IS GLORIOUS.

But most people eat them, well, normally. Pancakes first, or last, and the rest of the meal, I don't know, like a human.

I've always done things differently. Friends have commented, covered my side of the table with an upright menu, or pretended not to know me while I eat mine.

I squirt ketchup over everything until it looks like something out of a "Saw" movie, and then fold the pancakes like a taco shell, and place every bit of that food into said pancake. Then, I eat it like a burrito, dipping it in maple syrup and refusing silverware.

I never liked silverware. Seems like something I'm sure at one point in the history of civilization some type of communistic government convinced us that we had to use them, but we really don't.

My mother didn't raise me like a caveman, I've just always eaten them that way. Most food, actually. In college I had two separate occasions where guys brought me a bib on the second date because of the way I'd eaten on the first one.

I wasn't offended, I was pleased at how observant and considerate they were.

I don't do a lot of things like a normal person...God didn't want me to be normal. He doesn't want me average, comfortable, or settled. He wants me holy, He wants me willing, and He wants me to follow Him.

My job is not to look good, to make money, or to please others. My job is to live like Him, love like Him, and please only Him. The rest falls into place as it needs to. I love love LOVE how Paul tells us in Ephesians that He's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or even think! Why? Because He is. Already has been, and will continue to be.

I don't do things normally, but God doesn't either.
