04/02/2014 PUTTING AWAY CHILDISH THINGS NOW
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 lots 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." Soda/pop really was "the stuff" of most of our childhood. Back then, no one gave much thought to the nutritional value of drinking soda. We just drank it.
