I couldn't agree more Adrienne. I didn't grow up in the church so I
can still remember what it was like and the way I thought back then.
If you'd asked me why I wasn't a church goer, it was because I didn't
want to be like those guys and wanted nothing to do with the god they
preached. I thought all Christians were like that.

Then I met a family that wasn't. They weren't perfect but showed me
respect, honor, and grace. They didn't judge me even though I gave
them reason to. I was dating their daughter after all. That changed
my mind and I wanted to learn about their God. And He became mine as
well.

amarclem: I agree. I haven't had much experience with street preachers, except for on-campus evangelists. And I've seen these guys out on Bourbon St. (they're out there especially during Mardi Gras). I don't believe that standing on a soap box with a microphone telling people walking by that they're going to hell is what Jesus wanted at all. That isn't the correct way to reach sinners at all. Sure it's ok to preach the gospel, but I think being amongst them and being an example of Christ speaks louder than huge signs damning them to hell. For example, one year I joined my friends (who believe alcohol is the only way to have fun) out on the parade route and brought a 12 pack of Dr. Pepper with me; and I stressed the fact that I could have just as much fun, if not more, being sober rather than drinking. It's a small gesture but it was better than me going out there, crossing my arms and yelling in their face saying they were going to hell for drinking. That makes it miserable for everyone.

Very good explanation for one such as I, who knows little to nothing of such things. Thank you for your time and attention.

well, mead is a beverage made from fermented honey. So if the must is a honey mixture, it is fermented into mead. Were the must made of juices from fruits such as grapes, it would be fermented into wine.

So how does the must know if it needs to turn into wine or if it should take the mead road?

Must refers to the unfermented mixture of juice, or in this case honey. The must during fermentation is converted to wine or mead.

OK, what does the term "must" refer to in regards to the mead?
