Ez 46:16-24

The prince will own the land and wills it to his descendants so it will be their's by inheritance. If the prince wants to give any part of it away to a servant, he can but the land reverts back to the prince at the 50th year so that none of the Lord's people will be separated from his inheritance. From the commentary: The man took Ezekiel out of the inner area. He took him to the priests’ rooms on the north side of the temple. In these rooms, the priests will change their clothes. In them, they will eat the holy sacrifices. At the west end of these rooms will be the kitchens. Here the priests will prepare some types of sacrifices. These sacrifices are particularly holy. That is why the priests must cook them in a separate kitchen. People who are not priests cannot enter this area. Only priests may eat these sacrifices. There will be another four kitchens. They will be in the four corners of the outer area. Each of these kitchens will be 70 feet (21.5 metres) by 52½ feet (16.2 metres). Here the temple servants will cook the sacrifices that the people bring to them. They will cook the peace sacrifices here. The people who bring peace sacrifices may eat part of these sacrifices. Another part of these sacrifices must burn on the altar. And the last part belongs to the priests.

I guess after nearly 5 years of "living on my own" people think I either eat out alot, take out alot or I am a great cook. I can safely say that while besides business dinners, I do not eat out or take out at all but a great cook? I don't think my culinary skills have grown much over the past years so I guess they have become meals of convienence. I do eat better down here - brown rice, wheat pasta, more fish, less meats,etc. I pride myself for having little or no snacks here and now with the Magic Bullet - fruit smoothies are the snack/dessert of choice. Still the weight battle continues as it has over the past 5+ decades - portion control.
Yet life does go on.

Today's my mid-year review so a little apprehension but I do expect a decent to good one, we'll see.

Praise for today: Jesus is my Jubilee!
