Got this in an email:

Burned Biscuits

When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now
and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made
breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my
Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front
of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed!

Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my Mom and ask me how
my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do
remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that ugly burned biscuit.
He ate every bite of that thing...never made a face nor uttered a word about
it!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom
apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he
said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits every now and then."

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he
really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your
Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a
little burned biscuit never hurt anyone!"

As I've grown older, I've thought about that many times. Life is full of
imperfect things and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything
and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. But what
I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each other's faults
and choosing to celebrate each other's differences is one of the most
important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

And that's my prayer for you today...that you will learn to take the good,
the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God.
Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a
relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the
base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or
friendship!

Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in
your own.

But let a guy get a mcdouble that someone forgot to put pickles on one time, just once, and it's the end of the world.  You wouldn't believe how upset people can get over a sandwich they paid a WHOLE DOLLAR for.  You'd think they had special ordered it for the Pope and paid $7,000 for it.

Yes it gets that bad.  I've seen people about to come over the counter because of a 99 cent drink. 

We should have had the burnt biscuit story posted on the front counter and at the drive thru intercom.

You've never met my wife.  :laughhard: She's polite, but will bring a sandwich back repeatedly if that's what it takes to get it right.... she would not have taken the time to read the story. :lol:

"Disciples of Christ should not let concerns about what they do or do not have to do blind them to the truth about what they ought to do.  Something can be right without being required.  A person who understands that will not be myopically focused on what you can prove he must do."

I've been talking about you a lot with the Lord,
There was so much I wanted to say,
I told Him how thankful and helpful you are,
how I treasure you more every day.

I tried to describe how just having you there
can make things more special and fun.
I said how loyal you are to your friends,
and I thanked him for making me one.

And I told him how much I keep learning from you,
how your faith is inspiring to see.
Then I asked Him if He'd let you know how I feel,
and He said you should hear it from me.

History does not relate.

But in other news, flight 404 is about to cross the Bermuda Triangle. 

"Error 404:  File not found"

Yeah, I'm guessing that flight's a goner.   :roll:

That's another bone of contention.  Creationists say the chicken came first because God created animals.  Evolutionists say the egg came first because the creature that eventually evolved into a chicken would not be a true chicken, but the egg the chicken-prototype laid would hatch and grow up to be the first true chicken.

In other news, I ate five scrambled eggs for breakfast.  So for breakfast, the egg came first.  :D

In other, other news, I do believe we have successfully hijacked this thread.  Go us!  :thumbsup2:
