Taking out the Middle Man

On Sunday, in Zach’s sermon, he said, “ take out the middle man.” It made think of our dairy and our new adventure of bottling our own milk. As of now we ship our milk to Horizon Organic processor and they take our milk and then sell it to the stores who then turn around and sell the milk to you guys, the consumers. Because of how many hands our milk goes through before it gets into your refrigerator, we the dairy farmers have little say on the price and little contact with the consumers. My dad has always said, “if only we could cut out the middle man.” And now we are taking a step to getting closer to selling our milk directly to the consumer by bottling our own milk. This will allow a closer relationship with our milk drinkers. ☺ I then kept thinking about how this was the same idea as with our relationship with Christ. I know I have thought before how so and so is closer to our Lord so maybe I could have him pray for me and He will hear. By doing that we lose out on the close relationship with Jesus. So like our dairy getting closer to the consumer, take out the middle man and draw closer to God. Go directly to him in prayer with whatever you need him to hear. He is always there and always hears.
