Eeewwwwww... Yuk!

Jen & I took the girls to the Toy Story 3D double-feature tonight. It's a great movie, and it was a ton of fun in 3D!!

The only problem is that 2 movies meant twice as much popcorn, twice as much Coke, & twice as much candy.

Don't get me wrong... I like candy well enough, for sure, but--hold on to your hats, kids--there really is such a thing as "too much."

And tonight, we had too much.

I thought it was just me at first, but then Hosanna said she wasn't feeling well either. She even knew that it was because she'd had too much candy (she said so, if you can believe that!).

So, as I sit here somewhere between "uneasy" & "moan-&-groan", the thought occurs to me that sometimes there's a queasiness in the body of Christ, too. And it comes the same way: too much candy!

Think about it: we love to hear messages that are sweet to the taste & go down easy. There certainly isn't anything wrong with a little chocolate to wash down a good meal. There's nothing wrong with even leaving a little on you plate to "save room" for dessert. But there is a serious problem when we refuse the healthy food our bodies need for the sake of over-indulging in the "treats".

When you eat too much candy (like I did tonight... Ugh!), you are GOING to be sick! When your Chrisitianity is all sweets & snacks, you're GOING to be spiritually sick.

So, if you're feeling a little queasy in your walk with Christ, maybe it's your diet.

Sometimes, brussel sprouts are good.

I'm just sayin'...
