Piping Hot
I love the piping hot sound of chicken fajitas fresh off the grill. Like high-pitched musical pipes, steam sizzles and rises from the skillet, music to my ears. I want to eat immediately, if not sooner.
Anything piping hot is very hot.
Other piping hot favorites include:
- Taco soup
- Chicken casserole
- Roast beef with potatoes, onions, and carrots
- Grilled fish
Yum! As a friend used to say, “Those are good groceries.” They stick to the ribs.
I put any leftover food in the refrigerator, so it will not spoil. Too long at room temperature could cause food poisoning.
Spiritual appetites also need to remain piping hot.
Pass It On, a favorite song from my youth, declares that one small spark gets a fire going. It encourages singers and listeners to share God’s love with the people around them.
Each day, I choose whether to spread the fire of God’s love. So do you, dear friend. Warm is not good enough. God offers and expects the best. May that message spread like wildfire.
“I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:15-16 NIV).

Thank you, Diana. I enjoyed your post about food (partly because I like food, maybe too much!) I can’t keep track of what suggestions I’ve made to you for future posts so if I’ve already submitted these, please forgive me: “Don’t beat around the bush”; “He wears his feelings out on his sleeves”; He made it through by the skin of his teeth”. Blessings today and every day, my friend.
I hear you about liking food, Brad. Writing this post made me so hungry for my favorite Mexican restaurant.
Thank you for the great suggestions. I have written on “By the Skin of My Teeth.” https://dianaderringer.com/by-the-skin-of-my-teeth/. I will add the other two for future work.
Blessings.
Piping hot tomato soup with a few crackers tossed in the bowl is one of my favorites. 🙂
Yum. That sounds good on this rainy day, Melissa. I have a great taco soup recipe we like too.
Thank you. Have a wonderful day.
