The egg that binds

So, a cooking show is enthralling Jill right now.  Actually I’m enjoying it myself.  Burger day —  hamburger and vegie burger.  Presentation is important on this show.  For me, I just put the mustard container on the table and help myself — this cook has a beautiful white scalloped container for the mustard (I wonder if she washes her own dishes).

Of course, in the middle of the preparation, out comes an egg.  Now, mixing chickens with cows doesn’t always work well.  Working on my uncle’s farm one year, the cows tended to find chickens under foot could create various injuries — and not to the cows.

But here we have it.  To keep this whole recipe together, you need to find a binding.  Something that keeps the various ingredients together. 

For those of us who live around others all the time, we are constantly looking for that which holds us together. For family, its often the parents.  For retail store staff, it’s often the manager.  And for the church, is it the pastor?  Or is there a stronger binding power?   How long will a church stay together when a church is more well known for it’s pastor than for it’s master?
