Vanilla,
chocolate, or something else entirely?
Jamoca almond fudge….need I say more? OK, I
will…it has everything necessary in a super dessert: coffee (caffeine), nuts
(healthy fat), and chocolate (which needs no further explanation-it’s
chocolate). It’s been my favorite since
I was a child going to the Baskin Robbins 31 flavors on the corner of Airport
and Whitesburg road in Huntsville, AL to now and whatever state, city, or
country life takes me to. I was never
able to settle on a single flavor.
I caused my mom grief as a teenager (and
many other times since), wore strange outfits in high school with multiple
swatch watches on one wrist (don’t ask me why), and was always part of the in
between crowd…not really popular, a nerd, an outcast, or any other one
category. I was just me, even though I wasn’t sure exactly who that was until
my mid-thirties. I was insecure and
quiet until you got to know me, and I wanted desperately to always make the
right choices, but struggled with the temptations to check all the other
choices out too…just like everyone else. J
“I
do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate
I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it
is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know
that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have
the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the
good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now
if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin
living in me that does it.” Romans 7:15-20 (Paul speaking)
What’s
your flavor? And what does it say about
you?
