| Immersion Therapy - Fresh Pepperoni |

Well, anybody that knows me can tell you that my favorite food group is PIZZA! Did you know that people have been eating pizza since the 6th century B.C.? At the height of the Persian Empire, it is said that the soldiers of Darius the Great (521-486 B.C.), accustomed to lengthy marches, baked a kind of bread flat upon their shields and then covered it with cheese and dates. Those were my kind of soldiers. I have eaten pizza from many different places. From restaurants to microwaves, there has been one constant in my pizza-eating universe. I get heartburn when I eat pepperoni. There is just something about that wonderful meat that causes the painful experience to attempt to obliterate my pizza-consuming utopia. There has been a shining example as of late. I have a friend who makes homemade pizzas. Recently on a trip, we were invited to her house. And, as is a custom of that household, pizza is a great large group meal. I personally think it should be every meal, but I digress. She made these wonderful pizzas. After it was baked, I ate some of this divine expression of God’s Italian love for me. Later on the ride home, I had packed my usual bottle of Pepcid. But, as time went by, no heartburn! No pain! I was free! Psalm 98:1 says “Sing a new song to the Lord.” See, my friend uses fresh pepperoni on her pizzas. Maybe, God wants something fresh from us today. Maybe, the discontentment we are feeling in life is his “holy indigestion” to remind us to bring something fresh to the table. Whether it is in worship or in fellowship, God wants us to bring something fresh to the table. Too many times we are satisfied with the same old routine. Try something different, try something fresh!
