Life Without Bread
October 9, 2013

In cultures with an abundance of food choices, bread is no longer a necessary part of the diet so some choose to live without it for various reasons. In the first century, however, bread was viewed as an essential staple. A diet without bread was a foreign concept.

One day a crowd of people sought out Jesus because He had performed the miracle of multiplying loaves of bread (John 6:11,26). They asked Him to perform a sign like the manna from heaven that God had provided for His people in the desert (6:30-31; Ex. 16:4). When Jesus said He was “the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32), the people didn’t understand. They wanted literal daily bread. But Jesus was saying that He had been sent to be their spiritual bread; He would supply their daily spiritual needs. If they, by faith, applied and took His words and life into their very souls, they would experience everlasting satisfaction (v.35).

Jesus doesn’t want to be an optional commodity in our diets; He desires to be the essential staple in our lives, our “necessary” food. As first-century Jews could never imagine life without physical bread, may we never attempt to live without Jesus, our spiritual bread!

For Further Thought
What are some ways you can let Jesus, the
Bread of Life, and His words satisfy the
hunger pangs of your soul today?

Only spiritual bread satisfies the hunger of the soul.

Read: John 6:25-35

I am the bread of life. —John 6:48

Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 32-33; Colossians 1

Our place in the winter...and we love it.

[Kathy in Alaska]

It’s White and it’s Cold.

LOL! And you don't even have a snow shovel.

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...did you and Maddi have a good day?

The sky is getting darker and darker...looks like more rain.

[SandRat]

Good evening, Kathy...((HUGS))

Didn’t have Madedi today. Spent the day in Tucson at Med Appts.

Home tomorrow so know I’ll get her.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...hope your commutes were good and you are feeling a bit better. Injection tomorrow...GOOD LUCK!!

My day went straight downhill about 1pm....the payroll will not compute. Error message sent to Wash DC, the Deltek fixit folks. Now it’s after 5p and no solution. We are not having fun trying to check some folks just with online entries.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Kathy!

Sgt. Alvin C. York
United States Army
Company G, 328th Infantry, 82d Division
8 October 1918

Citation:

"After his platoon had suffered heavy casualties and 3 other noncommissioned officers had become casualties, Cpl. York assumed command. Fearlessly leading 7 men, he charged with great daring a machinegun nest which was pouring deadly and incessant fire upon his platoon. In this heroic feat the machinegun nest was taken, together with 4 officers and 128 men and several guns."

I am part Inuit.

As a child, my Dad (who had been stationed in the Aleutians during the Korean War) Taught me igloo construction and Arctic survival Skills.

I grew up eating Creamed Finnan haddie, S.O.S, Home made Baked beans and Alaskan Crab before it was fashionable.

I shoveled snow for half a century and survived the Blizzard of 78.

When I finally came to my senses, I moved to Florida.

My people have words for 27 types of snow and i hate every dam one of them.

Your Snow Test Says
You're Agreeable

You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few weeks.

You love to work (HA!!!), especially when work is creative. You have the makings of a successful artist. Not even close! LOL!

You are a cooperative, agreeable person. You enjoy the company of others, and you enjoy compromising for the good of the group.

Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them.

When it comes time to relax, you have no problem letting go. You are already pretty relaxed as is!

What a buncha...crock! LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

[LUV W]

That is a scary picture, Kathy....:-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

G’day, Janey...((HUGS))...agreeable is nice. LOL!

Good luck with the new laptop.

Been flying lately?

[KittenClaws]

Howdy!

I've missed lurking and occasionally posting in the Canteen.

The Troops never left my prayers. I don't know how these wonderful men and women do it! Sure, I can get depressed and bail, yet they keep going.

May God continue to Bless our men and women in service to this great country!

[Publius]

Opus 53 and 54 this weekend. It’s time for the middle period sonatas.

[left that other site]

I am looking forward to it. :-)

[KittenClaws]

Now that’s weird LUV W. Why are you agreeable, but I’m stuck with independent ?.

They are both the same, I want to be agreeable. (Stomping feet, revealing why I am not considered agreeable)

I’m beginning to think its all a crock myself. ROFLOL !

[Lady Jag]

Your Snow Test Says You're Independent

You feel like something good will happen to you in the next few months.

You don't really like to work, unless work feels like play. You only are successful when you are doing what you love.

You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.

Your biggest worry in life is your family. You stay up at night thinking about them.

When it comes time to relax, you really indulge. You are all about your favorite comforts.

[LUV W]

Heehee! Maybe we should switch! I’m not REALLY that agreeable...just ask my hubby! :)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mayor...thank you for today's sustenance for body and soul.

"Life Without Bread...."

Great message.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Do I know you???

Good evening, gorush...that pic is from my upstairs window.

Nothing but rain so far this year....45 degrees and rain right now. Is your winter waiting?

[2111USMC]

You have an amazingly strong work ethic. You are likely to be very successful in life.

You are an independent, individualistic person. You thrive when you're doing your own thing.

Hi Kathy. Hate to say that snow is no real friend. I had once slipped on the ice & broken my ankle. An Eskimo I’ll never be (or an Alaskan).

[KittenClaws]

We should set an example by agreeing to compromise.

I could be independently agreeable and you could be agreeably independent.

No one will know what the heck it means, but we’d all be getting along.

[Kathy in Alaska]

From my bedroom window a couple years ago. But the same each year.

It’s beautiful if you can sit and look at it. Driving isn’t usually too bad if most folks are paying attention, and it lightens up the dark winters.

[KittenClaws]

For some reason, I find that fascinating.

27 types of snow? Can you give me a few of those words along with the type?

I'm in West Texas and there really are no types of snow. Well, it snows alright. You have children out with scarves and mittens, carrots and charcoal to make a snowman face, and about one inch of snow to roll as it melts. It makes them happy none the less, little 12 inch snowmen.

[LUV W]

...or it could turn out to be pretty weird. :)

Worth a try, though! (see? me trying to be agreeable!)

Thank you Kathy for this evenings fun...Hey, I recognize that mailbox! :) *Hugs*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mooch...I HATE ice!!! So sorry about the broken ankle. YIKES!! Right now it is raining and 45 degrees.

I use spikies on my shoes if I think there is any. And i walk like a little old lady, cuz I am. LOL!

The snow is beautiful and last winter I gave up using the snow blower. Too hard on back and knees and I turned 65...the plow people come now for anything over 2 inches.

I use my trusty pusher shovel to clear just enough of the driveway to get my car out.

[SkyDancer]

Hi - yep. We got a new plane that I’m getting certified on. One of the one’s we had was just run out - tired.

RE: laptop - just putting things in order, can’t believe how much trash is loaded on (Google Chrome, Cloud, whatever, Macafee, just garbage) - then sorting things out where I want them.
