Leeks and Onions, seriously

In the Bible, the children of Israel spent some time in the wilderness.  When they got tired of going around in circles, they began to complain.  In their complaining, they talked of Egypt and all of the leeks and onions that they had there.  I was amazed at how they forgot the bricks with no straw or the whipped until dead that they experienced.  I am amazed how they forgot the frogs, the locust and the blood.  They forgot a Pharoe who did not know Joseph and I am amazed how they forgot the mass killing of their babies.  Seriously, how could you forget that and simply remember leeks and onions.  There is nothing glamorous about the life of sin and degradation.  I wouldn't go back if you paid me GOOD money.  I remember the poverty, the hopelessness, the suicidal notions and the lack of safety.  Even if things get a bit rough, and even if I had to go all alone, I won't leave God.  Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me.
