eating His words...with butter?

DISCLAIMER: I was not put up to this by ANY company.

I was in the bread aisle looking for such. So long as it isn't sawdust dry, I consider it game to eat.

Like any typical bread aisle of the Eastern seaboard and its neighboring states, I came across some Sunbeam bread. Yet the logo wasn't the usual Little Miss Sunbeam munching on a slice.

She was praying.

In words right beside her praying hands were: "Not By Bread Alone".

I know this isn't an unusual sight for the avid Sunbeam aficionados, but it caught me off guard.

Such a bold statement for the Israelites coming into the Promised Land. For the devil when Christ answered him after fasting for 40 days in the wilderness. For the land of plenty when millions still suffer from having not enough to eat.

In Greek, (λόγος) "logos" is used to describe Christ in the Gospel of John. In Spanish, "pan" means bread. In Greek, it means all.

Pan for pan? Logos for pan is the much better deal.

John 1:1 and Deuteronomy 8:3.
