I don't think so!:):) Two weekends ago when our college football team played the Florida gators, yes, we had alligator for dinner. I must confess that I reluctantly bought it at the store and put on a happy face while trying to figure out how in the world to cook it! You see last year when we played this same team, our precious son wanted to try "gator" for the first time. We didn't have the money.. so my answer was "NO, not this year.:)" This year, however, I did have the money....so....I bought it.:)
WHY? You see I have been pondering the word "delight." I was reading an article in a magazine which asked: "Did I delight myself in the Lord?" My truthful answer was no. The next question was something like "Is your home a delight to be in?" Then, "Do you do things to delight your husband? Do you do things to delight your children?" This was a new radical concept for me! What do I delight in? Do I allow myself to delight in anything? Boy did that start some soul-searching and prayer for me!! Sooooo, I have been trying to delight myself in the Lord and to delight my husband, children and those around me!! Wa-lah!! Our son was completely delighted with the alligator and his sisters enjoyed it, too.:):):)
