i'm melting!!!

so we went to see wicked in chicago last night. for those of you that dont know it is based on Gregory Magwire's "Wicked: The life and times of the Wicked Witch of the West." It is a very awesome book about evil, it's perception and politics. The play was sooo good. It ended very differently than the book but was good. It was like a musical mixture of the book by frank baum, the movie and the book by gregory with a happier ending for the witch.

we also went to eat at the melting pot, a fondue restaraunt. they bring the sauces out and cook them at your table then you get to dip and the main course you actually cook all the meat yourself. we had filet mignon, lamb, shrimp, lobster, salmon, chicken and tuna (of course it was like 2 or 3 bites of each). there was also this awesome cheese for the cheese course and the best chocolate for dessert. which brings me to my next subject....


i have come up with this theory that grace (as in God dying on the cross for our sins) was inspired by chocolate. now my husband and others have laughed at me but hear me out. there are two reasons that i believe this. first, God is a genius he invented chocolate so that we would have another reason to praise him. and we did, no one who tastes really good chocolate can think that it was all an accident. then he thought "i must come up with grace so that my people can praise me for all eternity and we can all eat more chocolate (in heaven there is no such thing as calories or carbs)". the second reason is that God actually sits around and eats chocolate all day in heaven. and he thought "i can not send all of those wonderful chocolate makers to hell for eternity. where will i get my chocolate?" so he invented grace as a way to save the few, the rest of us are just along for the ride.

coming soon for your reading pleasure...life? is it all just cookies and non cookies? or is there more to it?
