Pastor’s Column. The following are signs found in kitchens.
"If a messy kitchen is a happy kitchen, this kitchen is delirious."
"A clean house is a sign of a misspent life."
"If we are what we eat, then I'm easy, fast, and cheap."
"Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator."
"My next house will have no kitchen, just vending machines."
"A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand."
The staff at www.eSermons.com point out that these sayings point to some of our society's attitudes about food: “only junk food is enjoyable,” “food is meant to satisfy us,” “if I had to cook it, it doesn't taste good,” and “as long as it's not good for me, I should eat as much as I want.” We stuff ourselves, trying to fill the hole inside of us with food, as if we could eat something that would totally satisfy us. But we could stuff ourselves at every meal and still be hungry for something deeper!
This is what Jesus points out in the Gospel of John when he says, “I am the bread of life.” We can try to ignore our spiritual needs, but all else is insufficient. –DJ
