"Exo 16:14 And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness there lay a small round thing, as small as the hoar frost on the ground."

I have now idenitified the substance that was biblical manna:  Decaf, non-fat, sugar-free, caramel latte from the Starbucks' Drive-thru window. 

Just picture it.  On the Sabbath, you just walk outside and there it is; hot, steamy, environmentally friendly paper cups ("small round thing") with a safety sleeve complete with cheerful logo and full of creamy, sinless java that would melt your heart and make you praise the Lord for taking you out of Egypt! 

And if you insist that "bread" or "wafers" were involved, too, I can accept that:  ever had a cinnamon chip scone?

Ah.  Yet another mystery of history solved.

while I am happy for your archeological epiphany, I think you're confused. manna would certainly NOT have been decaf, or sugar-free, or fat-free! I mean, what would be the point???!!!!

You have NOT been dieting as long as I have, if you don't think non-fat, decaf, sugar-free is a good thing when you find it!

I love it. We just talked about that recently. What God would put out there if it all happened in "modern times." And we never came to a consensus.
Also, yes, that is Miss Pat A. in the blog picture. At her suggestion, we started volunteering at the nursing home last summer, and we love it. She is so awesome. The kids love her (and the residents too).

LOL! Love it! I make my own cappuccino. I have only paid for an expensive cappuccino once. I quickly handed it back to them, and said, "Could you pitch this? Your cappuccino doesn't even compare to mine!" (Mine is MUCH cheaper too!) I'll be posting the recipe for it in the near future on my blog, so feel free to stop by and take a look.
