#ShortSermons : #EatDrinkAndBeMerry
I read a thing* recently about Jesus & his relationship with food, and I've really been thinking about that recently.
Jesus loved food and drink, and to feed other people.
So, when someone asks, "What Would Jesus Do?" He'd eat, drink, and be merry!"
(I suspect he'd also enjoy cannabis & mushrooms, but that's considered non-cannon).

Tsundoku "is the Japanese word for the stack(s) of books youโve purchased but havenโt read."
#TLDR - surrounding yourself with #books is good.
#Sermon - The #unread books in one's personal #library serve as a valuable reminder of how much we #DontKnow
