Ok, I realize that this chapter touches on two very very important things, but I have to write the conversation that just took place after reading this chapter.
First of all, regarding marriage. I'm not quite in a position to comment about marriage today, as the past couple of weeks have provided some discussion and frustration both in my house and with some friends. There are some points that I need to ponder before I write about it.
Then, Paul addresses communion, and I don't feel I'm quite qualified to discuss that, either. Paul makes it very clear to not make a mockery of the act, and I suppose I could go through a diatribe of all of the acts we take all together too lightly ... but would you really be patient enough to read all of that? Face it, that's one huge long list.
So, instead of all that, I'm going to go here instead. As I've said before, I'm truly enjoying reading the message version of the Bible, and today was no exception.
vs 34 ... If you're so hungry that you can't wait to be served, go home and get a sandwich. ...
Wait.
Did Paul just tell the Corinthians to go home and eat a sammich? Because that is THE Awesome! Here's the conversation that followed:
Me: Wait, did Paul just tell the Corinthians to go home and eat a sammich????
Hubby: (laughing Um ... yeah, I think he just did!
Me: A sammich! That's awesome!!
Hubby: But what kind of sammich would he have eaten?
Me: Not a ham sammich, that's for sure!
Hubby: Turkey? Did they have turkeys?
Me: I think they had "foul". What about deer? A deer sammich.
Hubby: Or something with just vegetables?
Me: Ohhh, hummus! He was telling them to go home and have a hummus pita!
Red: A hummus pita! With tzatziki! Now THAT is what I'm talking about!!! Wait ... weren't we talking about communion? Because, now I'm hungry...
Amen.
