After several appointments for my Thursday, I wanted to surprise my Tahiti-sweetie (Shannon) with one of her favorite meals -Gumbo! It takes a while to prepare and even longer to simmer for full flavor.
An intricate part of anything Cajun is what we call the "Holy Trinity!" For person's of faith, the Holy Trinity is mentioned in scripture, and referenced as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! If you visit the "Big Easy," it doesn't take very long before you realize that religion is a strong staple of the New Orleans's culture, and the "Holy Trinity" applies to more than religion!
Emeril Lagasse, was the first to coin the phrase...Bamm! And, in doing so, he was the first that I heard use the term "Holy Trinity" to describe Onions, Bell Peppers, and Celery -a base for most anything Cajun! Now that you understand my favorite food group is a bit spicy, today's doxology take's a back seat.
If I had to specify a doxology out of all that I've previously mentioned, it would be the thought and attitude that God is always among us. It doesn't matter if it is in the understanding as God "The Father"...maybe as a saving "Jesus the Son"... or the motivative power of God as the "Holy Spirit!"
Regardless, how you feel God and God's expressions through this life...you cannot deny that it is full of flavor -like Onions, Bell Peppers, and Celery.
