The intended meaning or message of a parable typically is not expressed explicitly. Rather, the story only conveys divine truth to a receiver in proportion to his or her faith in God, personal spiritual preparation, and willingness to learn. Thus, an individual must exercise moral agency and actively "ask, seek, and knock" to discover the truths embedded in a parable.
Early morning prayers are the best. I also had a good blood sugar this morning so I am off to a good start. I had pie for breakfast and then worked on my blog. While I was working at my computer I got a phone call from James. He was on his way to town pulling a trailer and realized that he had no new tags on his truck. He said they expired October 15th. I went online and paid for his registration, 35 days late. Well, at least if he gets stopped when they check they will see that the fees have been paid.
Darrel texted me asking me for my sweet potato recipe. He's the second to ask. Sheri asked last week.
I told Sheri I had made several batches of chicken tacos for people and she said I needed to make some homemade salsa to go with them. I told her it was a good idea but I didn't have a food processor yet.
I left for Show Low to do some errands around 1:20. Before leaving I ordered a thin crust veggie pizza from Dominoes to be picked up at 3:30. My first stop was a Circle K for gas. I finally got my Easy Pay card to work which means gas is 10 cents less than the regular price for each gallon of gas. Across the street to Walmart to do my grocery shopping.
The first thing I did at Walmart was return the $50 digital hearing aid I bought last week for James. To take its place I bought a food processor which cost $70. Now I can make salsa! I also bought another Christmas blanket, a pair of pajama pants for me and a $10 watch for me. After loading up my car I was backing out of my parking space when I saw that my gas tank lid was off. I'm glad I noticed. I would hate to have gone all the way to Vernon with it off. I picked up my pizza right at 3:30. In stead of turning left into traffic I turned right and went up Central Street to see the address on the house I lived in when I was in high school. 560 N. Central. That's the same address Trenda's mom gave me for Trenda's address. Trenda lives in my old house. It's a small world in Vernon and Show Low, Arizona.
James loved the pizza. It's been awhile since we had one and it really did taste good. I finished walking before going to bed. Of course James had to listen to a couple of chapters of our book while he walked.
Two Christmas movies today: "Christmas Lucky Charm" and "My Favorite Christmas Tree."
