A Messy Kitchen
John 6:24-25
Illustration

Here are actual signs found in the real kitchens of real people.

A messy kitchen is a happy kitchen and this kitchen is delirious.
A clean house is a sign of a misspent life.
If we are what we eat, then I'm easy, fast, and cheap.
Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
My next house will have no kitchen, just vending machines.
A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.

These sayings point to some of our society's attitudes about food: 'only junk food is enjoyable', 'food is meant to satisfy us', 'if I had to cook it, it doesn't taste good', and 'as long as it's not good for me, I should eat as much as I want'. We stuff ourselves, trying to fill the hole inside of us with food, as if we could eat something that would satisfy us. But we could stuff ourselves at every meal and still be hungry for something deeper!
