Jesus is weird.
Jesus is weird. Daily Audio Bible (www.dailyaudiobible.com) today somewhere around the end of Mark... just picture this in your head...
Jesus tells a couple disciples to go into town, where they'll find a donkey, and untie it and bring it to him. If anyone asks whhhyyy they are taking this donkey that's not theres, he tells them to say, "The Lord needs it. He'll bring it back." They do it, and people ask, and they tell them that. And they are bewildered, or something, and let them go.
Then Jesus rides it into Jerusalem, and people welcome him like he's a parade. He does some sightseeing at the temple, then turns in for the night. The next day when he gets up he's hungry and sees a fig tree. But when he gets to it, it has no figs and he says "Let no one eat from you again." Later, the disciples come back and the tree had shriveled up and died. Then Jesus goes back to the temple and sees money exchangers and merchants set up in there like they usually are, selling animals for people to sacrifice, making some money off the congregation and whatnot. And Jesus proceeds to flip over everybody's table and not let any more merchants in, saying "this is a house of prayer not a den for robbers!" And as you can imagine, "the whole crowd was amazed at his teaching." (from Mark 11)
I also find it amusing, in the paragraph right before that, a blind man is calling and yelling for Jesus through a crowd. Jesus calls him over and asks-- this is the good part-- "What do you want?" duh... the guy answers "Rabbi, I want to see!!" and Jesus heals him. Why did Jesus ask him that? Don't you think he already knew, that everyone in the crowd already knew? And why, for this guy, did Jesus just say "Your faith has healed you," and he was healed, but for other blind people, Jesus put spit or mud or his hands on their eyes and then they were healed? Its bizarre.

Kimchi Lettuce Wraps
Trying a Korean spin on Paleo tonight:
Stir-frying some beef strips with mushrooms, yellow pepper, green onions, and kimchi in sesame oil. I may add some bacon crumbles to the mix for texture... and wrapping in lettuce leaves. A side of roast laver (Korean "kim").

Avacado Bacon Blue Cheese Salad
Lunch: Red leaf lettuce and spinach topped with red pepper, shredded (or, more pulverized) carrots, cucumber, a chopped bacon strip, half and avocado, a tablespoon or two of blue cheese, and some marinated mushrooms that I rinsed some of the oil off of because I think they made my stomach feel funny yesterday. Also a splash of balsamic vinegar.
Koree looked on longingly. And I gave him a little piece of blue cheese for posing for the camera.
