I love your analogy. Sadly, I know too many people that think like this:

While there may be a certain lattitude with the way the egg is cooked, it is clear from the context of the surrounding menu items that the meat must be sausage and the bread must be toast. The menu doesn’t offer substitutions. If you ask for them, the chef will spit in your food. And I won’t eat with you because he might spit in my food as well.

re: steve holt jr.’s above comment on “My burden is easy and my yoke is light…”

actually had a long bible study w/ a friend in Vegas over this passage. She made a number of peculiar comments that were difficult to tie in. When I closed the bible study by talking about how a yoke worked, she chimed in, “oh, I thought Jesus was talking about egg yolks.” we were stunned.

Are Towne Crier’s tables still sticky? I remember good breakfasts, but having to peel the bill of the wood tables.

Great post Mike.

I wouldn’t be being redundant to say “great post”, would I?! And now I’m hungry for breakfast burritos…which I have yet to locate up here in Nashville.

Forgive me for spinning off of your blog to my own, but the statment, “In small worlds, minuscule differences can look VERY LARGE,” is one of the most profound I’ve come cross in a long time. Small worlds can be warm and intimate to the insiders, but cold and hostile to outsiders. Pray that we can have the community of small worlds, while seeing the commonality that a large world perspective brings.

Thanks for some stimulating writing.

Oh, like Randy, I was also a Towne Crier breakfast burrito man in my grad school days.

Mike, Brings back memories of my days in Abilene. I always had the breakfast burrito (potato and cripsy bacon - hold the egg) with ice tea! Iced tea for breakfast must be a University Church thing. Do they still serve the burrito?

Wow! I was working at Towne Crier when they started serving breakfast! Was that really 14 years ago?!?
I always look forward to reading your posts Mike and enjoyed meeting you at Stream in the Desert. (I was the video girl) Still praying for your family!

Eggcellent and thought pro-yoking piece. You really cracked open some good stuff.

As always, you cause me to think.

Great post… and I am ashamed to say that I loved all the egg puns. I am so tempted to add some at this point, but I consider it a spiritual discipline to refrain.

Today I had my weekly lunch with my preaching friend from 20 miles down the road. We have been doing this for a few years (at his suggestion), and it has become a highlight of my week. We usually spend 2.5 hours together, and it seems like 5 minutes.

Blessings to you.

Great post, Mike. $2.19 for a gallon of gas? Where? Why are they giving it away for free?

Signed,

Yeah, but which came first…the chicken or the egg? Are you implying the egg is more important than the chicken?!?!?! What kind of warped theology is that?

Thanks for the wonderful and TIMELY post today. The fellowship I belong to is pretty much the whipping boy in this community…so you have encouraged me today, brother! Truth is all of us eggs came from the same Rooster, huh? Like I heard Don Mclaughlin say once: “The question is NOT who is my brother, but it’s who is my Father”!!

I look forward to having a one egg special with ALL of you in the Heavenly Diner on the other side some day! I hear the cook is the real deal. Who knows, maybe the waitress will even be Juanita!
Love you Mike!

Wonderful post Mike, love the metophorical story. It is so true, sadly, many do not see it that way. Most are branches off the same tree, wish more would see it the way you put it, can you imagine the unity? can you imagine the love? can you imagine how much could be accomplished in His name?
