HASHBROWN THEOLOGY

Greetings Hashbrown lovers everywhere. I wrote a little blurb on my Facebook page about HASHBROWN THEOLOGY...and wanted it to get onto the blogsite...in an extended form. For those who have read the snippet...read on for a little more...for those first time readers...enjoy.

I love to eat at the WAFFLE HOUSE...especially sins there is no smoking there any longer. Eggs...waffles...bacon...coffee...and of course...especially...the HASHBROWNS. There are at least...according to the menu...1,572,864 ways to order them including:

1. Smothered--onions
2. Covered--cheese
3. Chunked--hickory smoked ham
4. Topped--chili
5. Diced--tomatoes
6. Peppered--jalapeno peppers
7. Capped--mushrooms
8. Scattered All The Way


What was it that got me thinking about...ruminating about Waffle House Hashbrown? I'm glad you asked. I was reading PSALM 32 one morning...and saw how King David...the man after God's own heart...was asking God to deal with his (1) transgressions: going beyond known limits (2) sin: missing the mark (3) iniquity: rebellion (4) deceit.

King David...had killed threats to his sheep...stood up to giant and was still standing when the giant was on the ground via a surgical strike stone from his slingshot...anointed as King... Psalmist/musician...was now...needing forgiveness for his sins. He had abused his authority as king...had sex with another man's wife (Bathsheba)...plotted to cover it up by having her husband come in from the war front so he could lay with his wife...and make him think it was his baby (a little kink in the plan when her husband would not enjoy the pleasure of sex while his men were in the field)...then the King arranged for his murder. Thinking he got away with it...a prophet exposed him for his sin. PSALM 32 and PSALM 51 are a contrite sinners prayer for pardon and expression of blessedness of forgiveness and trust in God.


King David's life became SCATTERED. In Genesis 11...there were a group of people in the plain of Shinar...that settled there. They were in communication with one another...since they all SPOKE THE SAME LANGUAGE. The only problem was...the were speaking and elevating themselves. They wanted to build themselves a city...with a tower that reaches to the heavens...SO that we may MAKE A NAME FOR OURSELVES...and not be SCATTERED over the face of the whole earth. Being SCATTERED was not considered to be a good thing.

The Lord came down...saw what was shaking...and said..."If as ONE PEOPLE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE they have begun to do this...then NOTHING THEY PLAN TO DO WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM."
(Genesis 11:6) The solution was that God SCATTERED THEM...exactly what they did not want to happened. They stopped building the city...and from there the Lord SCATTERED THEM OVER THE FACE OF THE WHOLE EARTH.



King David wanted his SCATTERED LIFE (because of his transgression, sin, iniquity, and deceit to be dealt with by God. Well...just like the Waffle House has the solution for their HASHBROWNS...so does God...if we open up to Him. King David wanted to be:

1. Transgression/Going beyond known limits--forgiven
2. Sin/Missing the Mark--covered
3. Iniquity/Lawlessness/Rebellion--Not imputed/accounted for
4. In his spirit (little s...human spirit)--No deceit

Trying to keep silent about his sin did not work...his body wasted away through groaning all day long. For day and night...Thy (God's hand) was heavy upon him. His vitality was drained away.

How did King David deal with this situation.

1. I acknowledged my sin to Thee
2. My iniquity I did not hide
3. I will confess (say the same thing God says about it) my transgression to the Lord

Cause and effect of King David's request...THOU DIDST FORGIVE THE GUILT OF MY SIN.

For us...it all comes back to the DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION...NOTHING MORE...NOTHING LESS. (D.B.R.)

FINAL THOUGHTS...FINALLY

Lord...I give you my HASHBROWNED LIFE...my SCATTERED LIFE. There may be 1,572,864 ways to order the HASHBROWNS at the WAFFLE HOUSE...but there is only ONE WAY to get your sins forgiven...by the D.B.R...nothing more...nothing less.

Love and Hashbrowned Kisses
