Thanks for dropping by. xo<br /><br />Suldog, I genuinely appreciate your comment. It's interesting, and I am actually more aligned with that verse of the New Testament than all the dietary laws in the Old. Shhh. Bad Jewish girl here. Well, I'm a good Jew, but the dietary laws are crazy making (if taken literally). I don't follow them. I do generally avoid pork and don't like it, so that works for me.

However, may I go all pedantic...Funny stuff, Robyn. However, may I go all pedantic for a moment?<br /><br />The reason Christians see no problem with eating ham on Christmas or Easter (or violating almost any of the dietary laws) is because of what transpired in chapter 10 of The Book Of Acts, from the New Testament. The apostle Peter had a vision. Wikipedia, in their article on the book, sums it up neatly:<br /><br /><i>Saint Peter "became hungry ... fell into a trance" and saw "an object like a great sheet" from Heaven that contained "all kinds of four-footed animals ... crawling creatures ... and birds ... A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!"" Peter replied that he'd never eaten anything impure, presumably nothing not kosher, as he was a Jewish Christian. The voice said "What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy." This repeated three times and then the sheet was gone.</i><br /><br />And then Peter didn't trouble himself with much of the dietary restrictions after that, since he had presumably received word from God that it was all good.<br /><br />So, since a devout Jew, and follower of Christ, such as Peter, found no reason to continue observing dietary law, neither do we. Carried further, we have to assume Jesus wouldn't mind a pork chop now and again, either :-)<br /><br />OK, resume what you were doing.
