From Gary.... The PJ sandwich and the filters we use...


I have been on weight-watchers for a year and a half now, and so far it has been a success; 103 pounds lost as of last Monday nights weigh-in.  Bananas are now a staple, but peanut butter, bread and jelly are not.  Now, there is a peanut butter substitute for sale on Amazon called PB2 and at only a small fraction of the fat of normal peanut butter, I recommend it highly.  I have not found a good substitute for jelly- so you are on your own with this problem.  As far as the bread goes- well sandwich rounds have far lower points than a hot dog bun.  Overall, I would not eat the one in the picture- but, it does look tasty, though.  Why did I put a peanut butter sandwich on the blog?  Racism.  I actually saw something on the net that said the traditional PJ sandwich was racist. Would someone actually get a life!!!  Not everything in this world is about racism.  Don't like traditional PJ sandwiches (for whatever reason).  Try this one instead!!!  White bread offend you, try a whole wheat bun.  But, its about a sandwich- nothing else!!!  This reminded me of a passage from the book of Titus and it is worth the few seconds it takes to read it!!!

Titus, Chapter 1
15 To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. 

If you think about something long enough, then soon everything relates to it.  It is as if your mind has a filter and the only things that can be considered must go through that filter without exception.  Just pick a topic from this short list....  Race, religion, politics, family, friends, alcohol, drugs, sex and probably a thousand other things.  This particular passage from Titus came to mind because many people are so engrossed in sin that they can think of nothing else.  Don't like the highlighted word sin- well, go back to the list and substitute one of the others.  The point is- everything has a place and sometimes a sandwich is just a sandwich!!!  "Food" for thought on this clear and cold thanksgiving day!!!
