Make Your Day Count with Lindsay Roberts

LR: Welcome to Make Your Day Count.  I’m Lindsay Roberts, joined with Brenda Kunneman and Christy Hair.  And today we’re going to tell you about life lessons that have to do with salmon and dill and mayonnaise and sour crème. 

And what in the wide world does that have to do with The Supernatural You, the brand-new book by Brenda Kunneman?  We’re not going to tell you.  We’re going to show you.  It’s going to be something.  It started out a disaster, but we’re going to talk about divine interventions in the middle of a disaster.  So stay tuned.  We’re going to be right back.

PRAYER CLOTH AD

LR: Okay, we are back.  And you know me—I love illustrated sermons.  And we have an illustrated sermon about divine disruptions.  Now what in the world does a divine disruption have to do with Brenda Kunneman and The Supernatural You and your sister Christy and a disaster in the kitchen?

BK: Well, it’s one of the funniest stories.  We were traveling out of town, and I was getting ready to do this dinner event for a friend of ours.

LR: It was like a big-shot dinner.  It was, it was a big-shot dinner.  And so they wanted salmon.  And so we were clear out of state, and I called Christy on the phone and I said, “I need a salmon recipe real quick.”  She said, “That’s fine.”  And she flipped to a book, and she really quickly said—I said, “I’m at the store.”

CH: Picked up the first one I found.

BK: She said, “Buy all these ingredients, and I’ll call you back.”

LR: And that’s when the disaster began.

BK: She said, “Buy these ingredients.  I’ll call you back.”  I said, “That’s fine.”  Bought them all, called her later in this day when it was time to start preparing the event.

LR: But without enough time to do something else.

BK: Correct.  And I said, “So what do I do?”  And she starts to read the recipe, and she realizes it’s not a salmon dinner—it’s a dip.  You don’t cook anything.

CH: Yeah, no cooking involved whatsoever.

BK: Right, there was no cooking involved.  And so it’s a dip.  Tell them what you told me to do.

CH: Well, I didn’t tell her right away it was just a dip.  So I went ahead and—

LR: And she’s the worship leader, and she and her husband pastor the church in Omaha.  So, needless to say, can we just say they’re both out of their element, okay?

CH: So I went ahead and said, “Here’s what you’re going to do.  You’re going to cook the salmon, and then all those other ingredients are going to make a fabulous sauce.”  So she puts it all together, and I said, “Just call me and let me know how that goes for you.”

LR: So I won’t say you were lying through your teeth.  You were improvising, right?

CH: I was improvising.  I like that word.
