Eat and DIE!!!

Genesis 2:16-17 -16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat : 17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

        It does NOT surprise me one bit that it was the temptation for food that made man fall into sin. Even today, though it is "socially acceptable" the sin of eating too much, A.K.A. Gluttony is still haunting many people. While I am not a tree hugger that thinks we should do things a certain way to "Save Mother Earth", I do believe that we should be good stewards of what God has given us. We should keep the planet clean, recycle, and all that good stuff, but we should definitely take care of our body.

        We only live on this Earth one time and while we are here we should strive to make as much of a difference as we can. We cannot make much of a difference if we  are unhealthy. How much good can we do if we only live to 50, 60, or even 70. We could do quit a bit, but what if we were healthy and lived until 75, 80, or 90+. Now I know that we are not guaranteed the next day, but I sure don't want to shorten the life I have been given just because I have made selfish decisions.

         So while we may eat and not necessarily die, if we eat the wrong things we may certainly die before our time. So please join me as we declare "War on Weight" and say we will be victorious over fat! We may eat many things but there are some things that if you eat "You will surely die". Watch what goes in your mouth.
