“Tastes Like Chicken”
By Alan Weihausen

Well…by the time this comes out maybe a few cold fronts will have pushed some ducks down our way!

When someone says something tastes like chicken…they may be talking about alligator or frog legs or pork…but they are not talking about ducks and geese. “Tastes like chicken” refers to the mild/sweet flavor of white meat (chicken breast and wings) not the dark meat of chicken legs and thighs. You see quail, chicken, and turkey have white meat AND dark meat, but dove, ducks, and geese are ALL dark meat. Why?  Well ducks, dove, and geese fly (weight room arm/chest day) and walk and paddle in the water(weight room leg day). Dark meat is a stronger game flavor caused by muscles that have been working to survive life since the hatch and fighting for survival from Canada to the coast. 

Chickens, turkeys, and quail walk from point A to point B…only flying short distances or to roost or for a quick escape. Their breast meat and wings rarely have to work too hard too long. 

What are you fighting in life? What is your chaos?

Matthew 11: 28-30 

 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Flying south for the winter?  That’s a long trip…fighting it the whole way! 

The longest journey you will make in your life is from your head to your heart. What would fighting that the whole way feel like?

Trust in Jesus.
