Yeah, I do eat White Bread!


This is not a political message. I simply needed to get this off my chest. A lot of people give me a hard time because I still eat and serve white bread to my family. I know that we all have our vices, I probably have more than my share, but what harm does a little white bread really do. I do eat other types of bread, I really love rye, I like wheat and oat. I am not against other breads.

I do serve "enriched" white bread. It is so soft and it almost melts in your mouth. We are studying the Exodus from Egypt and I have to believe that the manna was much like white bread. Mmmm.... Slightly sweet and so satisfying.

We don't eat white bread at every meal. It is mostly for toast or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. We don't always get through a loaf of bread before it goes stale. I think it goes back to moderation. My grandparents always had Wonder bread on hand, as well as fresh homemade yeast rolls. But, even back then, they also had Roman Meal wheat bread too. They lived to be 95 and 96 years old. When I have guests, I make an effort to have wheat bread on hand. Often times though when my guests see the white bread the wheat bread goes uneaten. Oh well.

Maybe you don't agree with my opinion of white bread, and that is okay. Maybe we can agree to disagree. I think we all have to do that sometime or another. Have a comment, please share. I pray that no matter what type of bread you eat, that you are feeding on the "bread of life" which is God's Word. This bread satisfies for eternity those who believe in Christ as their Savior.
