09/10/2014 GIVING UP CHILDISH THINGS
1 Corinthians 13:11 - It's like this: when I was a child I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I became a man [a woman] my thoughts grew far beyond those of my childhood, and now I have put away the childish things. [Living Bible translation]
SODA/POP "back then"
If you are like me, you probably recall drinking a lot of soda as a kid. In fact, soda, especially in the summer time, was a common household beverage. Every member of the household had their favorite soda. You may have memories of going to the neighborhood store to buy a soda (or of taking the empties back for their deposit, if you are a bit older), or stopping by the store after school to get a soda, or loading down the grocery cart with the weekly "six pack" or 'case" or "carton."
Perhaps you can still remember what kind of soda you drank or your parents drank or your siblings drank when you were kids. Back then, no one gave much thought to the nutritional value of drinking soda. We just drank it.
