The chocolate chips offered a depth in flavor not readily seen from the outside. This caused me to think about the riddle that Samson put forth to his wedding guests and how that riddle can impact the Christian life presently. And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle.
