Several
days ago, I stopped at a nearby Trader Joe’s to buy some cashews and cheese (my
choice, bacon and onion) for my wife, who was teleworking from home. I knew we
were low on bread because I adore sandwiches. As I was picking two loaves of
the Trader Joe’s Multigrain Country Bread, the Ezekial 4:9 Bread caught my eye.
(My wife had already seen it.)
If
you are a regular reader of my blog, you know I love using scripture. I have
done my best to show it useful to one’s everyday life. This is the reason I
quote The Message so much. I believe
it is the everyman’s translation of The
Bible.
Ezekial
4:9 (NIV) says, “Take wheat and barley,
beans and lentils; millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to
make bread for yourself….” The
object of this life story is not to go to Trader Joe’s to purchase the Ezekial
4:9 Bread.
The
creative team advertising this bread thought of an extremely creative name. It formed
a pleasurable religious memory in my brain. (I didn’t buy the bread due to
price, but it created enough of an impression for me to blog about it to you. I
believe others will notice it too.)
Is
there a more creative way you can think of accomplishing a task that needs to
be done instead of the normal method you always choose in accomplishing that
task? It’s a lot more fun, and will make your duty speed by. Give it a try.
What have you got to lose?
