Slaughter Jam

I would like to warn friends and family that this blog post is not for those who do not believe in killing and eating animals.  This post is about the process involved in killing and eating one of the most common meats we find in the grocery store, chicken.  So if you don't want to see chickens die or if you think chickens have voices and souls like in the Disney movies, this video is probably not for you.  But if you follow with gusto when God told Peter in the bible in Acts 10, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat", this is for you.  We had a blast learning about what was involved in getting that meat into the grocery store.  Also if you are curious to see if chickens really do run around with their heads off this is a good blog post for you.  It really is wacky. After the Chicken Fest we all got out instruments and praised God for chicken and for Jesus Christ!  Also very enjoyable.

Also this month we were praising God that our friends Ernie and Lisa Blanco gave birth to a healthy baby boy!  Our friendship with them began when they gave birth to their first son Haddon. However God took Haddon home and the Blancos were struggling with the loss of their first born when we met.  It was amazing to see their trust in God through this very difficult event and to see God giving them joy and peace even in such a trial. Specifically at the funeral of their son they reminded us that we have a joy that shines even in death.  We have joy of eternal relationship with Jesus Christ.  It was precious to be able to share in the joy of the birth of Ernie Jr, Jr, Jr and praise God with them.  The Blancos are a reminder to us that God is in control and working his love and goodness out even in difficult circumstances.  I encourage you to read their processing of this tragedy on their own blog.  Blanco Blog >
