Bacon was on sale recently at Kroger’s. $.99 a pound! So, we bought a lot of bacon. Yay for us! In fact, for lunch today, I will have bacon and eggs!
On Saturday, I was frying bacon, and Gabrielle asked me why I like bacon so much. It was one of those casual “please dig deeply and consider yourself and your motives” questions that Ben-Ezras tend to pitch around at each other. And, upon some reflection, I figured it out.
Yes, I like the taste of bacon. Always have, as long as I can remember.
However, for most of my life, bacon was a delicacy. We rarely had it in the house, and when we did, we had to divide it between seven people. That really doesn’t go very far. So, in my mind, bacon was an extra special treat that only rich people could actually afford to have on anything resembling a regular basis.
So, when God is good and provides bacon sales, and bacon enters my house, it makes me feel rich. It’s an extra special sign of God’s goodness to me, that He loves me enough to shower me with bacon.
Mmm….bacon shower…..
Now, I must go eat.

All this bacon talk reminds me of my husband.
His next adventure? Country fried bacon. Yes, breaded and deep fried.
