God and Jerky

The pastor talked in his sermon about how the word of God is like jerky....you need to chew on it alot and suck all the juice and nourishment out. I love the picture of that. It made me start thinking about metaphores that you would not necessarily go together.
Life is like a nose. You would get bad things out of it but would not get rid of the nose but medicate it - work on it.....sometimes you pick and pick at it until it's sore---sometimes you get something out of the aggravation and sometimes you don't. Most itmes you just take it for granted when it's working well....it's only when it''s not working correctly that you pay attention to getting it back to normal working order. And----without it you would be ugly and miserable.
I'll work on it
