On the one han...Balance is so difficult to achieve. On the one hand we want to hold onto the values we know to be true and on the other, there are some changes that need to be made. Thus it has ever been. You have a wonderful way with an analogy. (I myself am not surprised about the value of chicken wings as, apart from the crispy skin of a baked chicken, they are my favorite. That one little chunk of meat is absolutely delicious. =D (Does anyone know about the "oysters" on the chicken's back? Let's not tell or someone will start selling them for a fortune.)<br /><br />If you know how to hold back the flood, do tell more. Since November, I've been biding time and I know that that doesn't fit in well with "the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it."Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-79795998494926096122013-02-04T21:38:33.429-05:002013-02-04T21:38:33.429-05:00Brilliant, Brenda, just brilliant.

As I watched Downton Abbey last night -- I confess I also purchased the third season DVD and have watched the whole thing -- I was thinking along these same lines and watching the worldview coming through of the author. Slipping in a little here, a little there. Making that which is evil look good and that which is good look evil. All of the changing values after the war. Very interesting watching it from the author's perspective of today.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01246853242512857830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-24075776016409364622013-02-04T12:01:09.333-05:002013-02-04T12:01:09.333-05:00Nice ponderings,Brenda.

The Media makes every attempt to make us feel silly, out of touch, stupid, uninformed, and ignorant. They understand if one hears the same thing over and over they may believe it."<br /><br />Yes. Thus we should be vigilant to make certain our minds, and our children's minds, are being renewed daily in the Word. Feeding daily on the Bread of Life strengthens us to know and recognize truth and confront culture instead of conforming to culture.<br /><br />Worthy thoughts, Brenda.<br /><br />In His Grace,<br />MichelleFront Porch Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566622022773726899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-32950087346660207922013-02-03T21:28:57.755-05:002013-02-03T21:28:57.755-05:00Thanks for your comment and prayers for Laura!

Or London broil which used to be thought of as tough and low priced...Silly isn't it... Next neck bones will go up???<br /><br />Oh how relevant your post was today! What was wrong and really was, years ago is now considered normal. Even if one does not believe in the Biblical 10 commandments I do not see why they can't be used as a basis for life. But oh no! They are In The Bible. So a no no. I say Yes Yes!! People take what is said to them over and over in the media as truth. THINK For YOURSELVES! PLEASE!!! Your post was wonderfully written. I know you did it with prayer.

Now give me small homemade chicken nuggets or chicken legs fried crunchy, that is yummy.<br />I am not excited about the game will go with hubby to see it at his sisters house but really it doesn't matter who wins. Give me a good basketball game and I will join the guys... and cheer.<br />Thoughts for the dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07166340365607117445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32960314.post-70655894703081084892013-02-03T15:58:39.178-05:002013-02-03T15:58:39.178-05:00This was wonderful Brenda!
