Take That!


  George Crum was a chef at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, New York in 1853. On evening, he became upset when a customer kept sending back his fried potatoes because they were too thick. Finally fed up with the patron, he decided to get revenge by slicing the potatoes so thin they could not be eaten with a fork and humble the proper man into using his hands like a commoner. But rather than revile the new dish, the man raved and soon these Saratoga Chips were all the rage. Now these concoctions we call potato chips are a billion dollar industry. His attempt at revenge, as so often happens, did not turn out as he suspected. 
  We all at times want to get back at those that wrong us, but the Bible teaches the revenge business is not our job (Romans 12:19-21) Very rarely does revenge get what we really want. We should  live to the expectations of God and let him sort those that do not.
