I was able to attend a fireside tonight with Jon Bytheway. It was phenomenal. He talked about the first day he went on with his wife. They had decided to do a BBQ up in the mountains here in utah. He also thought it would be cool to start off by purchasing the food for the BBQ together. Off to the grocery store they went. They picked up some chicken to be the main course and headed up to the spot. He proceeded to tell us that the chicken he cooked up was some of the best stuff he had ever made! His date, and future wife, pointed out to him that he had purchased marinated chicken. Bishop Bytheway had no idea what that meant. She proceeded to point out to him that the chicken had been soaked in a mixture to enhance its flavor and that is what marinating is.
He likened it back to us by saying, "We are all marinating, whatever you are surrounding yourself with you are becoming." He shared a quote that states,"Regardless of your original intentions, you become what you surround yourself with."
I loved this metaphor and plan to spend a little bit of time pondering and seeking revelation on what am I marinating in?
