asian invasion

I live in a community outside Little Rock called East End. The community has several convenience stores ,2 hardware stores , a sonic, Harvest Food Grocery Store and now a Chinese food restaurant. We ate and this establishment and like most it was a buffet and like most it just wasn't the Chinese food I remember eating as a kid.

I remember it was a treat to go eat Chinese food. The restaurants were always ran by REAL Chinese people not,Thais,Vietnamese nor other Asians. Never a buffet but fresh dishes that we all shared. Sharing Chinese food was an integral part of the experience along with hot oolong tea. Now you go to a so called Chinese food restaurant all you get is all you can eat semi par food.

Now, many of the new Chinese food establishments are not being managed by Chinese at all but other Asian people. The authenticity of food from China has been watered down. The question is where do all these Asians come from and how do they do it. I feel like Estelle Costanza who received advice based on Confucius from What she perceived to be a Chinese woman named Donna Chang only to find out it was just some girl from Long Island.I feel duped ! Earl Haffel had a deal with Kramer to have Cubans hand wrap cigars for them in their new business venture only to realize he was getting Dominicans. I don't want a Chinese egg-roll with a Vietnamese wrapper.

We are being invaded by phony so called Chinese food restaurants with phony Chinese people and you've been warned.

Great Birthday!

I celebrated my 41st birthday yesterday and what a birthday it was. I spent the whole day at the church with my natural family and my church family. We had two wonderful services ,worshiping the Lord ,Feasting on his word and drinking from the fountain. That's real communion.
I reflected on my life and counted my blessings,the things he has given me to fulfill my life. I have two great parents who love me and always led a great example of a life in service to the kingdom. A wonderful spouse who loves and takes care of me and is truly a help meet. Three great kids who have never got into any trouble and are filled with Holy Ghost and are in the Lord's service.

A friend of mine who made about 10 times the money I was making at the time told me "Mike your the richest guy I know" . I was making about $25,000 a year and lived in a double wide mobile home with two wore out cars yet I was rich beyond measure. When it came to the natural we barely got by but I was and still am in abundance when it comes to priceless treasures. Jesus told us to lay up treasure in heaven where moth and dust do not corrupt.

Father, I thank you for a wonderful birthday it was wonderful. Your family sure does know how to celebrate. Oh it was a nice touch with the Cowboys win too. I didn't even ask for that but you knew.
