Gods' Cake
God's Cake
This is about the best thing I've ever read as an explanation. We all wonder many many many times over WHY?
Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.
Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."
"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.
"Yuck" says her daughter.
"How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Mom, those are all yucky!"
To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! "
God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!
God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

Food Festivals In GeorgiaCarolina
Taking family trips to festivals was my all time favorite thing to do after a saturday morning of doing chores and helping my mother pack a picnic basket. As an adult I still follow festivals close to me like Allendale County Cooter Fest in Allendale, SC and The Watermelon Festival in Hampton, SC. Mainly to partake of the food and to compare dishes with family and friends. Hope you Twitter us when you get there!
Happy Summer & Enjoy!

History of "Soul Food"
Soul food is a term that became popular in the 1960's, popularized by the African American youth culture. However, the history of this cuisine goes all the way back to the African continent. Popular menu items such as rice, black eye peas, okra sorghum, watermelon and more. These are examples of the history of soul food and its extensive cultural background.
In America this comfort food evolved from items the slave owners didn't want to eat. The goal of the slave owner? Feed their slaves as cheaply as possible, but feed them foods that provided enough energy to supply hard work. These foods often represented the tops of turnips, greens and other wild and tasteless vegetables. For example, slaves also had to eat berries, pokeweed and the parts and organs of livestock the slave owners didn't want as a steady diet.
Out of necessity, slaves turned the tasteless foods into edible delicacies through creative seasonings and cooking techniques. Because strict laws didn't allow slaves to read or write, the slaves quietly handed the valuable recipes down from generation to generation by word-of-mouth. Today soul food has grown into a muti-million billion dollar industry with restaurants, food manufacturing, cookbooks and even cooking shows flourishing by representing this famous southern cuisine.
It's grown into one of the most famous comfort foods in America, especially among African Americans and populations in southern states. Free soul food recipe websites have flourished by offering these traditional southern recipes conveniently to the public. The recipes have blossomed into dozens of dishes popularized through by time and tradition. This historically popular, American originated food continues to grow in scope and influence. Soul food recipes have the distinction as one of the foods that literally helped build America.
