I’m an Organizing Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday
I’ll be using my “spare meal” from last week for my Monday & Tuesday meals. I might try to get to the grocery store tomorrow, but since it’s MLK Day and my son is home, grocery shopping is a lot more difficult. Also, I have learned that Monday is Target’s restocking day, so if I want fresh stuff, Tuesday is going to be my best day to shop anyway.
Weekday Dinners
Monday – Special K Loaf, Mukimame, Biscuits w/butter
Tuesday – Leftover Special K
Wednesday – Pork loin, Mashed potatoes & gravy, Corn
Thursday – Leftover pork
Friday – Onion baked chicken, squash, biscuits
Weekend Breakfasts
Saturday – French toast & bacon
Sunday – Leftovers
Sola Scriptura – Lundie Style
1I am pretty sure I have written about Sola Scriptura (“by scripture alone”) before. I believe it was in the context of the Seventh Day (Sabbath) being the true Sabbath. I’m still not 100% sure where I stand on the whole “day of worship” and “Sabbath” issue – but that’s not what this post is about.
After hearing it from a couple different places, I have decided that my morning time with my Bible will be just with a journal and my Bible. I have had a lot of white noise when it comes to what it means to be a Christian. While there are a lot of really good books out there by people expounding on what Christian life should look like, I have come to a place where I need to weed out the interpretations of others and take some time to read for myself*.
I’ve decided to start with the book of John. I read a chapter (or a portion of a chapter if it’s long) and just let it sink in. I read it a few times, then I journal about my impressions.
Interestingly enough, I hear this same message today from what I read.
John 4:39-42
Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!” When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay at their village. So he stayed for two days, long enough for many of them to hear his message and believe. Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe because we have heard him ourselves, not just because of what you told us. He is indeed the Savior of the world.”
So, that’s where I am today, and for this season — spending long enough to hear His message for myself, not just because of what someone else tells me.
*PS: Technically, I probably believe more in Prima Scriptura rather than Sola Scriptura, but I am SOOOO far from having a debate on these issues that this is where I will end my commentary on the topic.
