With my father’s incoming return, an egg-tastic week, and another incoming protest in the school, next week is promised to be a smorgasbord of crazy! Now, there has only been one remedy for my sanity and only one at all: Jesus Christ.
I will devote myself to writing about the last days of moving to Puerto Rico and the incoming adventure to the “land of the free and the home of the brave”. Now, let’s start with the smorgasbords!
Let’s talk about the smorgasbord, that Swedish buffet that’s an all-you-can-eat wonder while talking with blondes and dancing to ABBA. (Well, sorry! That’s the stereotype!) However, that smorgasbord is just a small style of buffets. Go to Sizzler, Golden Corral, Ponderosa or Bonanza (in my land), and you’ll see salad bars, meats, and others in your land. Yes, you have to pay for that all-you-can-eat blessing that God gave us, but you don’t have to order it a-la-carte (unless you want to), or any other thing. You have a wide range of combinations incalculable to the human brain. On. The. Palm. Of. Your. Stomach.
(I’m getting hungry. I guess that’s the idea!)
Moses told that if one repented and decided to return to God on its ways, God will bless them for their obedience and return them to their land. Amongst other things, Moses was clear: there’s no reason to obey the Word if it’s not on the north, south, east or west: it’s near your face, your heart, your soul, your mind, and your spirit.
And Paul goes near to explaining: “That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” (Romans 10:12-13) THAT is the smorgasbord of crazy that one can’t understand. Crazy for us, but so sane and perfect for God, for the one who created it so we can enjoy.
Buen provecho!

It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, "Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, "Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it. (Deuteronomy 30: 12-14)
