Live & Active Culture?

I love me some custard-style Yoplait yogurt. LOVE IT. and this before I knew it benefited my health. apparently, little creatures reside in yogurt, referred to as “live and active cultures.” you can’t taste them, see them, smell them, or hear them, but they work wonders for your digestion. who knew?

the phrase made me think about its singular expression - live and active culture. is it?

the other day I crumbled open a fortune cookie and read, “Endurance and persistence will be rewarded.” recognizing the biblical parallel, I let it sit on my desk for a few days. ironically, within days I underwent a pile of trials that threatened my mental balance. excruciating. each day I arrived home my eyes drifted to this prefab statement on my desk. and I endured. and persevered.

I get the sense that little creatures reside in culture that benefit our health. we can’t taste them, smell them, or touch them, but sometimes we can see them or hear them. they work wonders for our faith. who knew?
