Medjool dates...

I absolutely LOVE dates. The fruit, I mean. And not just any kind, but plump, chewy, Medjool dates. You can't get them everywhere and they're only available during certain times of the summer. Suffice to say that there are no Trader Joe's or World Markets here in suburban SC, but Food Lion down the street did have their own brand of chopped (and covered with powdery dextrose, a type of sugar) dates... not as delish, but they get the job done. I decided I wanted to share the joy of dates with someone, so after dropping Joy off at work this morning, I went downtown to the Riverwalk and shared my dates with God, and we had a little chat down by the river.

We talked about Governor Samford, my hardened heart, and by golly we gushed over the exquisiteness of Medjool dates. I'm convinced there's no better snack out there, and after sharing them with God today, there's none holier, either.
