How true it is that we prefer the pacifier like so much mama's milk. What a great analogy! How true it is that we prefer the pacifier like so much mama’s milk.

It speaks directly to many of the things I have been struggling with lately when looking at my own faith development, the community of faith that is around me, and how our specific contextual form of the universal community of faith relates to others - those down the street or in another state or another country. Is there anyone brave enough to work on removing the soothies seriously - not just from the mouths of individuals, but from communities of faith as well? What would a community have to look like to really take that seriously? Erika,

I love your "word-picture". I've already shared it with my husband this morning and have a list in my mind of others who would appreciate your story. Not to be melodramatic, but I think I'll remember this analogy as long as I live in this flesh. Thank you for writing it. Erika,

I need to evaluate my list of things keeping me from enjoying the bread of life. Thanks for this powerful image reminding us that to say yes to something also means having to say no to other things.
