Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. Did you hear about the exercise guru in Australia who decided to see what would happen if he ate Kentucky Fried Chicken for an entire month? The results are in, and they are not good. I like Kentucky Fried Chicken, but I prefer Popeye’s spicy chicken; having lived in both Kentucky and New Orleans where these recipes originated, qualifies me to make this judgment. Anyway, this guy ate KFC for 30 days and paid the price physically, mentally, and financially. Physically, the man gained over 17 and a half pounds, and his blood tests showed kidney and liver damage. Mentally, the man’s self-esteem, confidence, and conflict resolution declined. Financially, the man spent about $1000.00 on his 90 destructive meals. By day 10, the man required Emergency Room care at the hospital due to a lack of dietary fiber; even so, he determined to power through his challenge to the end. The Bible teaches in I Corinthians 6:19 that our bodies are God’s temple; therefore, we should take care of them. Also, one facet of the Fruit of the Spirit is self-control which avoids overindulgence. A famous Greek philosopher once said, “Moderation in everything;” while I don’t agree with his statement entirely, it does apply in this case: fried chicken once in a while is fine; fried chicken for a month is foolish.
