Petty Socker Continued

“…Wait a minute.” He thought to himself, “Forcing the ingredients of the recipes to be subjected to heat or cold seems ethically wrong.”
Taking out his calculator he, began to run some equations dealing with the chemistry of one of the recipes. Pouring over the Zucchini Bread recipe he noticed 4 large eggs were needed. The Professor started busily calculating the contents of the recipe and the inter-reaction that the eggs would have ESPECIALLY when heat was forced upon the mixture! And that with only 100 calories of heat an irreversible chemical reaction would begin to alter the chemistry of the eggs, salt and baking powder! This is a horrendous atrocity of epic proportions!
The Professor sat there at his desk with his hands in his head as he mourned the loss of the individual ingredients. The salt crystals had been in total unity until miners had separated them from the salt bed, they were moved from the salt bed and take far from home where all the other salt crystals were gathered. The Professor started to weep has he thought about the eggs, each one individually were a perfect unit, in need of nothing but…the Professors thoughts were interrupted as the word “Heat” past across his lips in a whisper.
The professors thoughts started reeling, thinking of all the places in which heat was actually beneficial like if the egg was warmed slowly by a hen a chick would emerge, if warm water was added to the naturally cold water when he took a shower how good it felt, or when the air was heated on a cold day that the shivers simply went away…just then the professor looked back down at his Petty Crocker Cookbook and realized how completely impossible it was for him to ever understand it. He now realized that it was necessary for him to leave cooking to the experts. So the Professor simply started watching the cooking channel to enjoy the professionals making everything work. He could never eat any of their cooking so he would go to the local Hardees and McDonalds and marvel a the skills and agility daily on display. Professor D. slowly walked out of McDonalds with a Big Mac, Fries and a Coke satisfied that he no longer needed to be puzzled by his Petty Socker Cookbook.
Prolog
Even though Professor D. has made himself happy, day by day he is headed for disaster with his health.
If the Professor had only read a recipe all the way through, kept it in context and followed directions instead of picking out little portions of the recipes and making of them something they were not, he could have enjoyed his Petty Socker Cookbook and enjoyed eating what he made.

When we read our Bible like Professor D. read his cookbook we will always end up confused. Read your Bible a book at a time instead of a verse or a chapter here and there it will surprise you how much sense the Bible makes. All the ingredients come together when the common denominator is included:
JESUS

Yep, this is pretty on the mark, I think. I like how he is mourning over the fate of the individual ingredients. Pretty funny stuff. Now that is a really true statement though. I mean, reading a book at a time that is. It is such a good thing to do. That is when things started to make sense to me. I still have a hard time staying focused on one section here and there.
