Some Things We Control Ourselves

This Blog may be in total contradiction to a previously posted one which speaks to God having everything in control. While He does, yet He doesn't control everything. Like the things we eat, how much and how many times; that's up to you! I had like lost it upon arriving in Rochester. Folks at Mount Olivet are great cooks as are the people in Memphis and Tucson and at one point I thought they were out to prove to me how good they cook or prepare food, but later I learned that good food is simply a part of the ministry. Now if you have any concern about your weight, size, shape, etc.. then you have to take control of things. I dont say that to mean Vanity; rather to mean concern with your health. Most folks with high blood pressure, diabetes, headaches, shortness of breath, fatigue, etc would find some relief if they would simply change their eating habits. Listen folks; I dont care how good ham hocks and chitterlings and neckbones and potroast and ribs and BBQ Shoulder or pulled pork (as folks of late have started calling it) Corn bread, carbs (baked potatoes, white bread, waffles, pancakes) are, they just aren't good for you! It's not good inside nor out. It makes you feel bad and Lord only knows how you're looking these days with the extra poundage... LOL Look at yourself! How do you feel? Are you glad you gorged down then entire plate of food? No you're not! And some of this is not our fault. We would get whippings for not cleaning our plates, or in the words of Tyler Perry "cleanting our plates." Folks when you're full, stop eating. It doesnt matter how much steak, or chicken or sausage is left on your plate, STOP EATING once you're full... You will find yourself feeling so much better over the meal you just ate and over how you feel physically! Food to the body is like gas to the car, its supposed to make you GO not stop you from GOING...While I may not be an Authority on this matter, Good Common Sense which is not common when it comes to eating and exercising, but it works all day if you listen. Act like this is coming from an Authority and do better about yourself at the table and with some type of exercise as I am! I want you to be around when I get turn 110. Smile.
