Surrender in a Blender

Ever notice how many influential theologians go by their initials? How 'bout C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton, and A.W. Towser.  Well here's a big piece of the Gospel message according to that great thinker P.F. Chang: Sometimes we treat God like dessert.

Last week I headed to P.F. Chang’s Chinese Bistro with friends for dinner and dessert to celebrate a birthday. The conversation was flowing, and we glanced at the dinner menu and decided what we wanted. Almond Chicken sounded great to me. We also ordered appetizers. We downed a few bites of calamari, and lettuce wraps (a personal favorite). After salads and soup, the main course arrived. There was Kung Pao Chicken, Orange Peel Shrimp, Sweet and Sour Pork -- even some healthy dinner salads.
