“Work, of whatever nature, is to render living service, in obedience to the law of giving and receiving. For you, it is for the purpose of expressing your God-given faculties and powers, to the end that you may manifest the divine ideas God has implanted, the perfect pattern of His Son.”  Myrtle Fillmore

Pizza at Pudgy’s Revisited

Pudgy’s, a locally owned pizza place in Omaha NE, is one restaurant where we can enjoy a meal without drama. We know we will be treated well there and enjoy a good gf pizza. These are the things Pudgy’s does right.

1. When Pudgy was developing his gf menu items he talked to his gluten free customers.

2. He took pride in his gluten free pizza. If you wanted to see Pudgy smile really big thank him for his gluten free pizza.

3. You can order any size and choice of toppings for the same price as regular pizza. They know what you are talking about when you order a gluten free crust.

4. In addition to pizza there are gf bread sticks, cheese sticks and hot wings and Redbridge beer if you want.

5. Gluten free customers are treated just like any other customer with good food and choices.

On a recent visit to Pudgy’s we were not prepared to learn Pudgy has passed away. We will miss you Pudgy, but thank you for your efforts to serve your gluten free customers and hope the restaurant will continue to welcome gluten free customers.

“In the universe all manifestations are of God and are one with Him.  In Him they live and move and have their being.  This Supreme Intelligence that moves in the earth is manifested in the tiniest molecule as perfectly as in a great planet.  How wonderful to realize that there is only one force, one power, one presence, and that is God the Father.”  —  A Search for God Book 1  [Compiled by the study groups of the Association for Research and Enlightenment]

Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Today is celebrated as Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  Dr. King’s actual birthday was January 15.

Bob and I recently say the movie The Butler.  I don’t usually cry at movies but tears were streaming down my face the entire time.  Since then I have been thinking about the young people today who did not live before or during the Civil Rights Movement.  It is important that we teach them, that we show them how far we have come and stress how important it is to keep moving forward and never go back.  According to the King Center website “the King Library and Archives in Atlanta is the largest repository of primary source materials on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and the American Civil Rights Movement in the world.”  To learn about this important time in our history http://www.thekingcenter.org/ is a good place to start.
