Food

We are one week into our lent series. Last night the food was good and the lesson wonderful. If you did not join us please make plans to join us next Wednesday. The main dish will be Baked Chicken. We will continue our video series.

It is funny to me how many of our gatherings involve food. Each Wednesday we feed the kids at confirmation and on Sunday Nights the high school youth have Dinner and? as part of our lessons. For lent we are providing dinner each week. If we have a meeting on a Sunday of course we will have lunch.

No wonder weight is an issue in America.

I am on week 2 of my plan to be down to 240 pounds by the Mission Trip. I am doing this mostly for health reasons but I am also doing this in part for faith reasons. If my body is a temple I do need to care for it like I would an actual temple. So far I am down 5 pounds. i knew the first week would be easy. It was even easier since we have the juicers coming in on a regular basis. Additionally we have many discussions around the church about eating and eating healthy. We even discuss having you join us in changing our eating habits. Perhaps a Meatless Monday? I have gone over a week and have only had 2 meals with meat.

I cannot become healthy if I am not inviting Christ to help me. All diet plans in the past have not worked because I tried to do it on my own. This time I I have invited God to be my partner.

The ELCA has a wholeness wheel. We need to be whole to be healthy. Mind, Body and Spirit.

In the Love of Christ Jesus.
