I just finished my breakfast portion and my body is calling out, “More!” Intellectually I know I have had enough. If I listen to my inner self I can tell that my body is trying to deceive me. Today I had another victory and ignored that inner voice.
The thing I miss while working on my eating is not a particular food but the feeling of satiation. You see, I can eat anything I want. Yes, I am diabetic, but it is on a level that if I follow common sense and show moderation I can eat anything. I just can’t eat as much as I want. The is the rub. I want to supersize and finish every crumb. I look on all-you-can-eat as a challenge. I act like leftovers are a sin.
But I can’t follow the inclination of my appetite. A good motivation is to think of insulin syringes. Another reason not to keep eating is so that I can keep my eyes and feet. I have fought the good fight for several years and don’t plan on giving up.
But those pastries and breakfast sandwiches keep calling to me.

Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
Welcome to Varied Expressions of Worship
This blog will be written from an orthodox Christian point of view. There may be some topic that is out of bounds, but at present I don't know what it will be. Politics is a part of life. Theology and philosophy are disciplines that we all participate in even if we don't think so. The Bible has a lot to say about economics. How about self defense? Is war ethical? Think of all the things that someone tells you we should not touch and let's give it a try. Everything that is a part of life should be an expression of worship.
Keep it courteous and be kind to those less blessed than you, but by all means don't worry about agreeing. We learn more when we get backed into a corner.
