MANNA FROM HEAVEN

Okay, so who really knows what manna was from heaven?

When I saw this humongous 3.2 pound mushroom (pictured above) in my back yard, I got a glimpse. I know . . . I know . . . this rounded phenomenon came from a lot of rain,and my ground being recently aerated beforehand. But I just read in Exodus 16:14 that the children of Israel who were hungry and complained to Moses about being starved to death in the wilderness were told to check out the ground every morning after the dew had done its thing and then “gone up”. When they looked, they beheld “a small round thing”. Don't you love it!! They didn't know what it was and I can hear them now . . .

“Hey, man, like what in the heck is that little round thing all over the ground?”
“I don't know, Dude, but I almost stepped on a trillion of 'em when I went to the loo.”
“I'm starved. Hey . . . let's eat one.”
“Check it out, Dude!! Try one or a billion”.
“I'm stuffed.”
“What do you reckon it is?”
“Man, uh, I don't know.”
“That's it! Let's call it Manna!”
“Awesome!!!”

Then, lucky them, they got to eat Quail at night, but don't you know they couldn't remain thankful and began to complain about the manna from heaven.

Some folks just can't be happy no matter what!

Of course, I am being facetious. All I really wanted to do was to show you how big my mushroom was that I found in my back yard and took a picture of it looking like a big, fresh-out-of-the-oven loaf of bread.

BTW, does anyone know what kind of mushroom it is and can I eat it . . . with quail?
