I spent more than a few minutes trying to find the healthiest food choices in a gas station convenience store. It took some time and the eventual choices were the best I could do—pistachios, pretzels, Chex mix and two packs of chicken salad tins with crackers.

The cashier was very nice. He told me that I should dance, then told me that yesterday was “National Brown Liquor Day,” and that I should buy some liquor from the store and then buy a soda to “really be happy.”

I demurred.

Today I looked it up—

National Brown Liquor Day?

I don’t think so. But I should dance

Because God has given us the New Wine of the Holy Spirit.

On the good days, the bad days, and the days when the world feels food-deserty.

Jesus is here

Let’s dance!
