Split it into fourths and you have half of the halves, or, a good basic starting point for splitting up a pie? We cut the pizza into eighth's and because it is so rich by the time we doctor it up; that those are plenty for our family. We always have enough to eat, we never want for water, and we have wonderful electric appliances; we have it good. We don't truly know how blessed we are because most of the time in the U.S., we think in U.S. terms and don't consider the rest of the world. This has gotten us into some weird situations a time or two, but for the most part, America is loved or hated, there is no middle ground where we are concerned. So it is that we find that type of thinking permeates our culture, and it's actually the type of thinking that Jesus often proclaimed. It is interesting that when it came to different ways of working for God, however, Jesus made clear that if they aren't against us, they are, for us? How big an image of God Jesus is professing at that point? Does it have bearing in your life today?
