Life is just a bowl of . . .
. . . uh, Life, said Joseph Bednarik in his sermon Sept. 19.
Life (not the cereal) actually is a serving of choices, he said, that are yours — not the author of some 1,001-things-to-see-eat-drink-or-think-before-you-die book.
Actually, Joseph only poured a bowl of the cereal to illustrate his talk.

For the publishing industry, linking the number “1001” to the phrase
“Before You Die” works wonders:
Movies to watch!Books to read!Cities to visit!Beers to quaff!This sermon takes a long, hard look
at the phenomenon of “Before You Die” books,the catalyzing power of limits,
the functionality of bucket lists,
and what nouns are worth spending a life verbing.
