This little piggy went to the market...

....and I saw all of its internal organs.

Some days I'm so glad I'm a vegetarian. Today was one of them. I went with a group of girls to the open market, where you can get just about any food available in Peru and pretty much anything else. I saw cow tongue, pig livers, intestines, some animal's heart, sheep heads, and blood...everywhere. At one point I realized I was walking around on a slippery floor that had animal blood all over it, I was wearing flip flops with no traction, and good jeans that I didn't want to get blood on. Luckily I didn't slip.

I also am very grateful I am living under the new covenant. That I don't need to make animal sacrifices and be sanctified by their blood...because I have already been cleansed by the blood of Jesus through my baptism. Sometimes you just need some animal blood in your life to appreciate these things.

Psalm 96:1-4

Sing to the LORD a new song;
sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;
he is to be feared above all gods.
