A Russian comedian, newly arrived in the US, noted that we complain about the weather, the government, the roads, our jobs, our families, our food, then we call it HAPPY HOUR! God’s opinion on food-fussing may be found in his response to the Israelites in the wilderness, “manna manna manna” they complained. God was providing around 2 […]
