You probably know bacon as the star of the BLT and the bacon cheeseburger. But there are so many other ways we can incorporate it into our diets and our lives! Here are a few of the 50 ways to use bacon. And if you don’t like bacon, well, I will pray for you.
- Make a good old BLT sandwich, of course.
- Bacon cheeseburgers will make anyone’s mouth water. Meat topped with more meat? Perfection!
- Bacon-wrapped tater tots would go perfectly with that bacon cheeseburger!
- Roast a bacon-wrapped turkey for Sunday dinner.
- Make delicious bacon pastry slices.
Can You Love Your Enemies?

I just saw these over at The Plow.
My first reaction was “Wow, that is pretty extreme”. But then I thought about it. Jesus, who knew he was about to be crucified for his revolutionary beliefs, was telling this to a group of people who had lived under a great deal of persecution. What a revolutionary message back then, but perhaps even more so now. This means that we are to love Hitler, Osama, and everyone else who thrives on hatred. That is a tough pill to swallow, but if you are a Christian, it is something you are called to do.
Just imagine for a second if everyone actually did this. The world would be changed forever in an amazing way!

9 Inexpensive Valentine’s Day Ideas
Feb 11, 2008 Found Online, Grab Bag
For anyone out there looking to have a great Valentine’s Day, but maybe trying to watch the ol’ finances, here are some ideas for you. For example:
Do something low-stress. My wife and I used to celebrate Valentine’s Day with a trip to the bookstore together. We’d find some quiet chairs in the back and read through books together and talk quietly. We’d also go to a very low-key coffee shop and sip coffee together. These were very inexpensive things to do (provided we didn’t buy things at the bookstore), yet they were both enjoyable and fulfilling to us.
And if there are any ladies out there that want to see if these are good ideas by, you know, testing them, let me know. I live in Atlanta.
