WoW!

Sooo... Yesterday I taught the youth Sunday School class and got a refresher course on the Word of Wisdom. Answering the questions of thirteen-year-olds has a way of making things really clear. We talked about "conspiring men" and how there really is a conspiracy to destroy us. Guess who the ringleader is, trying to convince us that it doesn't matter what we do with our bodies? Ugh. I've totally been buying into it. I've been watching some documentaries about the science of nutrition, with some real people getting serious results by switching to fruits, veggies, and whole grains. Guess what? Turns out the Lord totally knew what he was talking about with that whole Word of Wisdom thing! So, um, I'm going to do it. With you all as my witnesses. For the next two weeks, I'm completely swearing off anything but plants. No meat, no dairy, no sugar(!), no processed anything. After that, we'll see. Eventually I'm sure I'll add in a small amount of meat (definitely eggs). Not sure how much dairy, if any. And very limited sugar. Time to trust the Lord's promises.
