Breakfast: Religion with milk please. . .


I think most people shop religion the way they shop for cereal. Some just pick the cereal they were fed growing up, others pick the one that had that recent clever ad and is all the new rage, others pick the bright happy box with the tasty and easy to swallow sugar sweet cereal on the inside, and a few, a very few - look at the nutrition panel on the side and compare nutrition, price, and value.

Religion like cereal, when a regular part of your diet. will have a lasting impact on your overall spiritual health. So what's on your nutrition panel? Is it what you really want to buy?

Here is what I think is on the back of my huge bag. . .
