America



America



    America is the home of the bold and beautiful or the lazy and obese?  I thought this caption best illustrates our poor diet choices that lead to America's ever growing waistline.  Sure I like a good burger every now and then but its not an everyday meal choice.  Why has it taken so long for fast food places to offer healthy alternatives?  Apple slices have been around since the garden of Eden, right?
    I remember in the school cafeteria, there were two lines--one for a full lunch and one for snacks.  It was a common practice for kids to eat chips or a candy bar for lunch.  I don't think that should be an option.  There should be two lines for a real lunch.  I often ate a pretzel for lunch back then and then was starving by the time school was over.
     As you think about your diet, remember your Daily Bread.  We need to feed on The Word every day and progress from milk to solid food.  Every morsel will do us good.
     What if the caption above was a Bible with a crown of jewels for eternity holding The Light in one hand and a megaphone in the other while standing on The Rock?  What would that say about America?

  1. I think we are at a crossroads in more ways than one. Maybe wrong, but that's how I see it.

  2. Hi Angie, Don’t know where or how you come up with these genius ideas! They are so great and inspiring. Just finished 2nd and 3 John, so I have fed on God’s word today.

    Love you, Aunt Robbie

  3. When I was in school, we did not have a choice for a full meal or a snack. Unless you brought your own, or went home for lunch, we all got the same food. It was healthy and good, and seldom junk food. We didn't know how blessed we were and certainly did not appreciate it like we should have. Love your "new" statue idea! What a statement that would be! Your Aunt Robbie is right....amazing how creative you are and how much insight you have. So glad I know such a smart young woman! Love you, T.
