I went salmon fishing on the Columbia River a couple of days ago and decided to smoke the fish I brought home, as we have a lot of fish in the freezer from my Alaska fishing trip. I tried a different recipe for the brine and smoked it in my Treagor, and it turned out so good. I also made some salmon dip out of some of it. I am going to take it down to Monday Night Football, and I expect both the smoked salmon and the dip to be a hit with everyone who comes. I hope no one asks me for the recipe for the dip. I looked in the fridge and added a few spoons of various ingredients, including the smoked salmon, and stirred them all together. Then, I checked the spice cabinet and added several different spices. It tastes delicious. When I looked into the spice cupboard, I couldn’t believe the number of spices there were. There were millions, well, maybe not millions, but a substantial number. There are several spices mentioned in the Bible, and their use was often an indication of a person’s wealth. That means we should be millionaires with all that we have. Spices are added to make food tasty and flavorful. I have spices that I add to my life to make it more exciting and less boring. Fishing and hunting are great ways to spice up life. Bicycle trips and other dangerous activities, such as skydiving, are like hot sauces and cayenne pepper. I have a long list of activities that I enjoy, which add excitement to my life. Still, the single most powerful spice is attending worship services on Sundays or Wednesdays with other like-minded believers. I am sure the reason that it is such an enjoyable experience is that God is there. He promises to be in the midst of those who gather together to seek Him, worship Him, pray to Him, and learn from Him. Not everyone experiences Him; only those who expect to and genuinely want to. I do.
