It all depends on whether the chips are English or American.

And biscuits are things right thinking people put butter on, not chocolate chips (Or whatever the heck you people call chocolate  chips)

No, muffins are the ones that need butter instead of chocolate chips.

Dessert muffins may have blueberries in them, but corn? You people are weird. :P

I hate to admit it, but my go to breakfast bread is either English muffins or if I can find them, crumpets.  So delicious.

1. That I would never forget and no longer take for granted all that He has done by His mercy and grace.
2. That I would have the faith to pour out my entire being at His feet.
3. That I would no longer feel lonely.

In respect of Lent, I won't comment in detail. I'll only say that you are under a mistaken impression, ma'am.

I have a hard time with loneliness, too :(

Lord have mercy.


I pray about this often. I kinda have trouble making friends (top that with being an only child).

 On one hand I know (At least mentally) that I need no one else besides my Lord. On another hand, i see that Adam had God from the beginning and God still created Eve because He saw that it was "not good for man to be alone." Sometimes it's a bit frustrating trying to seek balance between the goodness of companionship while simultaneously relying only on Christ for the completeness of my soul.

Lord have mercy indeed. ❤

Well, I don't think God wants us to sacrifice trying to make friends, if that's what you're saying. He comes to us in companionship as much as He comes to us in all the other beautiful things in life.

Concerning corn muffins, that's a possibility. Concerning American weirdness, culinary and otherwise, I very much doubt it. :P

Funzies that might very well put some people off certain foods, which is good for Lenten temptations.
