and if someone preached the glasses thing...well, consider the source, seriously, that's just ludicrious.

But the message I heard that talked about us taking care of our bodies, was so well delivered and timely...it didnt say fat people are sinners. It said anyone who doesnt take care of them selves physically and in their appearance, is not doing what God requires of us.

She even talked about going out of the house with a deliberate ratty, unkempt appearance. Not someone who might be messy from work or something (LR DONT YELL AT ME I"M NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU WHEN YOU"VE BEEN WORKING IN YOUR YARD) But those that look like they just rolled outta bed and didnt do anything to themselves....long stringy unkept hair...you know the type.

It was great! I appreciated her having the courage to preach the message

I agree that preaching about how we care for ourselves is appropriate without picking something out of the air to use as an example. I've heard this kind of preaching and teaching and I have to do this as well with patients in a realistic manner.

And don't worry about LR. She's been too busy for this place lately, so say what you want....hahahaha. And she would get your point also.

Which goes to show that it isn't always what is said necessarily but

the spirit and manner and MOTIVE for saying it! And the way they say it!!

But calling people names like "Blue Denim Whales" just sounds

awful to me. They would lose me right there! I probably wouldn't

hear anything else they said!
