(No Title)

I've been thinking a lot about how our "religion of origin" stays with us for a lifetime. When I was a child, I was taught that one is to receive the communion wafer into one's mouth, let it partially dissolve, and swallow it without chewing. To defile the body of Christ by allowing it to come into contact with teeth or lips or jaws was considered sacriligious. I must admit I've done my share of gossiping, back-biting and believing the worst (aloud) about my fellow members of the body of Christ from my earliest memory. I can chew them up and spit them out, and sometimes feel pious in the process. Funny, though. I still handle communion as carefully as the first time I received it. I'm praying the day comes when everything I do with my mouth will be done in remembrance of Him.

Patty--I would do well to close parenthesis at some point--almost any point would be fine!

Hi, Patty! I'm so glad you check in from time to time (like when you responded to my facetious question about the meaning of life--what was the answer? 47 or something? I know, I know, I'm old. But you reminded me to go catch up at c'est la vie--I enjoyed it! Thanks.
