Easy Chicken Burritos
1 can of chicken breast
1 can of corn mostly drained
1 can of black beans drained
1 cup of salsa
Heat the above items in a skillet, serve in warmed tortilla, top with grated cheddar cheese and a dollup of sour cream.
That's it. Of course the purpose of this recipe is to be simple and quick, and cheap. By all means if you have left over chicken from the night before, chop that up and throw it in. If you have pintos in the pantry and not black beans, use that! If you have Ro-tel in the can and no salsa, use that! I think you get the picture. It is fabulous. So yummy. So filling. Such a big skillet full. It really does make quite a bit.
That will be the handy tip/recipe for today. I have quite a few. Don't miss them in upcoming posts.
To change the subject entirely...
I start my anatomy & physiology class tomorrow at Jacksonville College. I'm trying not to be too nervous. It is a small campus, so I'm assuming that will translate into small classes, which will, in turn, translate into more personal attention and a good grade. An "A" would be perfection! (FRIENDS reference) I'll be A&P'ing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from now until December 9 or something close to that.
After class tomorrow I'm going to drive to TJC to watch my wonderful niece Hali play some Panola Volleyball. I'm kind of excited. She's an upperclassman, in the junior college world, and will hopefully get some good hits. So I'll go to class at Jacksonville in the morning with my Panola Volleyball shirt on. Hopefully I don't get off on the wrong paw with my professor.
My second little tidbit I'd like to share is borrowed from my husband, who borrowed it from 1Kings.
God's Ways: Ordinary and Miraculous
1 Kings 17:2-7
God declared, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways," (Isa. 55:8). And in fact, one of the biggest frustrations of the Christian life has to do with a lack of understanding about God's ways. There are times when we could really use a miracle, and yet He does not come through for us. Unmet expectations lead to confusion, disappointment, and even anger. Why did God let me down?
There are two schools of thought regarding the miraculous. Some people don't believe God works miracles at all, while others are convinced that if He's not doing the miraculous every day, then something is wrong with their faith. We need a balanced perspective, which we find in the Bible.
God works in both supernatural and ordinary ways, and He determines the method. Elijah ate food miraculously delivered by ravens, but his water supply from a brook was completely natural. When the water dried up, the Lord could have made more spring from the ground, but He didn't.
Sometimes God uses ordinary means to move us in a new direction. The curtailment of his water supply opened the door for Elijah's next "assignment." When the Lord withholds miraculous intervention and lets your brook dry up, He has something else planned for you.
Seeing the work of God in the miraculous is easy, but He's just as involved in the commonplace aspects of life as He is in any supernatural event. Look for His "fingerprint" in the day's mundane activities. He is there, opening and closing doors, drying up one opportunity but initiating another.

I have to brag on my husband for a minute. He sent me this in an email yesterday with the subject line: You are "His" fingerprint to me.
How awesome is he?! It was so timely, as all of God's messages are. So I hope that it touches you now as it did me yesterday, and again today as I reread it.
It would appear something profound came up after all. :-)
God's blessings on you and thank you for stopping by.
