More Food and Fun!

A simple email to some friends about a local Pizza Hut promotion quickly spun out of control and gave us all a chuckle...others have asked me to share so here ya go...ENJOY!

Hey,

Just a head’s up about Pizza Hut…there is one in the Publix center across from the church…in case you guys ever need food delivered for meetings, parties, gatherings or whatever…they are now doing pasta in addition to pizza and wings…mmmmm

Revelation: You know, I hate to admit it, but you can always count on me to know the latest and greatest about food in East Cobb and the greater Atlanta area!! Its an obsession and on the verge of some type of sickness, psychosis. I think I may need a
12 Step program (another one!).

My program will look a lot like this…

Step 1—I am powerless over fast food (any food) and my life has become unmanageable (along with my long hair)
Step 2—I have come to believe a power greater than myself can restore me to sanity (or maybe I should just up the dose of Xanex/Valium)
Step 3—Made a decision to turn my life over to the care of God (I did that 30 years ago—that was before internet food ads and food blogs, food network, Willy Wonka and Biggie Size IT!) Need Him more than ever now...
Step 4—Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself (I weigh each week at the Y, naked, in front of 3 witnesses…not a nice visual but brutal honesty)
Step 5—Admitted to God, to myself and another human being (that would be ya’ll) the exact nature of my wrongs (burp!)
Step 6—Became entirely ready for God to remove these defects of character (as well as my spare tire, man-boobs, and 3 out of 4 chins) Maybe God will send a Plastic Surgeon my way!
Step 7—Humbly asked God to remove my shortcomings (as well as the aforementioned gut, chest and chins)
Step 8—Made a list of all persons I had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all (OR I can just make everyone a cobbler, some enchiladas or Mac and Cheese and call it even!)
Step 9—Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others (Back into the kitchen--cake is quick cure all!) Step 10—Continue to take personal inventory and when I am wrong promptly admit it (uh, can someone define "promptly…")
Step 11—Sought through power and meditation to improve my conscious contact with God, praying only for the knowledge of His will and the power to carry that out (Hey, I got this one down. 11 out of 12, not so bad)
Step 12—Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of these steps, I try to carry this message to others (that would be ya’ll) and to practice these principles in all my affairs (Listen, can we talk about all of this over some lunch, dinner, breakfast, a little snack, leftovers…you choose!!)

Anyway, I really was sending this notice about the Pizza Hut stuff (see below) as a head’s up!!

I need professional help……going go get some now….right after lunch….
