Now the title of this blog does not reflect my views on chicken...it was the cry of my children as my wife cooked a lovely chicken meal last night. Thanks to George Foreman, her barbecue chicken was seared to perfection, accompanied by some healthy green beans and pasta. I then watched as my three children picked their way through this relatively healthy dish. I know what they wanted...they wanted Pizza, they wanted a hamburger, they wanted chicken nuggets (somehow chicken nuggets are not real chicken I guess), any of which were less healthy than what was in front of us. I guess too many fast food meals have spoiled them as they've tasted the Happy Meal, complete with its alluring free gift and french fries!!!
How easy it is to apply this analogy to life. How God has given us all things good and how we, like small children, kick our feet and want some perverted version of the same thing. We can apply it to our relationships, to our temperament, to our habits and to our worship. How often we take what God has provided and then we distort it beyond recognition. Indeed, we allow sin to enter in.
Going back to food, I think my biggest vice is food...indeed...overeating. Therefore, I am going to use my blog as an accountability log. Every Friday I will post how much weight I have lost that week. I invite your feedback as either encouragement or admonishment, but it is an area of my life that I need to bring under control as I have allowed sin to enter into my eating habits. Stay posted.
