My New Horizons

I love my kids and they often say the wildest things. The other day when were chowing down on some of my wife’s hamburgers, my oldest, who can also be the most creative, wanted to debate why a “hamburger” is called a hamburger when there was no ham in it. Yes, I know many of us have wondered the same things. I don’t know the story or the origin of the name. But it is clear that most hamburgers do not have ham, or even real beef in them for that matter either. They’re just something with a name and something else as its contents. It all kind of reminds me of the Church. There are many ideas of what the Church is and should be. But I’m glad to be part of a Christian fellowship where we don’t claim to be the only Christians and the only ones with the right answers to “church.” But we do strive to emulate the true body of Christ and the pristine, original church found in the Bible. Now that’s pretty good even without fries.
