A VERSE TO SHARE

This weekend I spent a great deal of time at the zoo with my family. A lot of families of many different colors and backgrounds were there.

I saw and heard some unkindnesses. We can do better, people.

We share this planet and it is our home together. Let’s just call each other “brother” or “sister” or “friend”, whatever the case may be.

Ephesians 4:29

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

I'm eating this as I type...delicious and so easy to make! I made it exactly as written, using a rotisserie chicken and low fat cream cheese. I was afraid it would be spicy (I'm a wimp) with the Rotel and green chilis, but it was perfect! Thanks for an awesome recipe. I'm so glad I stumbled upon your website!

Hi Cheryl! Thanks so much for coming back and leaving me a comment! I hope you'll find TONS of other recipes that you are looking for! You are RIGHT - it really isn't that spicy considering how spicy you might think it is! If you enjoyed this, you might also like the Buffalo Chicken dip. Its good and easy and not spicy, but when you look at the ingredients, you'll be worried that it might be. The last time I made it, my family gobbled it down and then didn't have an appetite for dinner (and they are GROWN!). lol. Have a good one!

Chicken, cream cheese and bacon! Girl! You out did yourself now!

It’s a delicious recipe but even with the explanation, I am troubled by the name. Since the description is offensive and something one should NEVER call someone, it seems quite inappropriate and even wrong to use it for the title and description of the recipe, especially in light of the scripture that was referenced. This really troubled me.

Hi Barb. I appreciate that you care enough to leave me a comment. That means a lot to me. I was hoping that everyone would see that I meant the title and description in jest (in that the recipe ingredients are common and plain but when put together they pack a bang and are quite delicious).
