Re: UPCI is getting BIGGER!
Could I be allowed to take a step backward, here?
In an earlier post, I put up one of those laugh thinggys. I just want to be clear, I was NOT laughing AT overweight people. I've had serious weight-control issues in my past. Being disciplined in my eating has become very much a part of my worship. My life was once dominated by extreme indulgence followed by crash dieting. But I am seven years delivered from both. I've held an ideal weight now for that long, by the power of the Holy Spirit.
When I laughed, it was at the thought of Christianity's inability to honestly address this issue. We can chop the heads off the smokers, drinkers, and chewers. But it's almost impossible for us to address overeating when a great number of spiritual leaders have not conquered the problem themselves.
So while I may well be a "jerk", I would never laugh at a "weight-challenged" person and I would never use the "F-word". (no, not THAT f-word)
