Who knew gluttony could be so fascinating?<BR/><BR/>One of the most explosive Sunday School classes I ever attended was on the subject, with CS Lewis as one of the primary texts. Yup, hit some raw nerves there.<BR/><BR/>I find that when I can exert control on gluttony, other appetites are kept in check as well.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a good start to the day.<BR/><BR/>RJMUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07907662688087348535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639308185701880635.post-66491194956431593662008-03-11T20:47:00.000+11:002008-03-11T20:47:00.000+11:00One of the most important words my family exercise...One of the most important words my family exercises around the dinner table has to be "ENOUGH". It is important to see food as nutrition, not as boredom breaker or as anything else but nutrition. Gluttony is compelling and I agree Thomas got a little too extensive on its categories...but it does force you to think, "What do I eat and why?"<BR/>Hospitality is a generous gift of God to share what I have in a special way - it is a very personal and kind form of Christian service. It is the reason why I keep two dutch ovens in my kitchen cabinet, so that I can make an additional pot of chicken soup for a mom in the neighborhood who is sick or under the weather or wicked busy or just blue. No one takes care of mommy when she is sick, she's the one who takes care of everyone else - and it takes such little time to prepare and share.<BR/>Hospitality and sharing what we have helps promote more than managed nutrition - it is good food for the soul.<BR/>You're right - ArmyBarmy was coming down with definite opinions over there, and I was doing the same thing..."Hey, this was fantastic what was posted a day earlier..."<BR/>Enjoy your day within God's grasp.jsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13365839524389378815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5639308185701880635.post-58964297431051086172008-03-11T09:52:00.000+11:002008-03-11T09:52:00.000+11:00Great thoughts, this gluttony food issue is such a...Great thoughts, this gluttony food issue is such a symptom of our excessiveness and distorted perspective here in our western ness, i like what youve added that provokes the thoughts 'waht would this look like in the kingdom of God?'<BR/><BR/>Fast food nation! aha! great movie, nearly went to vegetarianism over it.
