My response was, "Yes, and if all they'll eat is pizza and we do nothing to help them learn to change their diet, then 10 to 20 years from now we'll have tons of overweight people with high blood pressure, heart disease, and colon cancer." <BR/><BR/>What they'll eat is a starting point, but we don't leave them there. We introduce healthier versions of what they'll eat, then gradually introduce healthier foods. And it takes time when we want it to happen overnight.<BR/><BR/>It really is a growth issue as well. Infants can't tolerate some of the things that are healthy for adults.Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442776673039428910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20013059.post-1162434490130023932006-11-01T21:28:00.000-05:002006-11-01T21:28:00.000-05:00Morris,I've used the food analogy a lot myself (be...Morris,<BR/><BR/>I've used the food analogy a lot myself (because, hey, who doesn't love food?). This is what strikes me about a lot of worship music today: we tend to be unhealthy because we eat to much prepackaged, overprocessed junk food and fast foods. <BR/><BR/>The music industry is just that: a multi-million dollar industry. And often like the fast-food purveyors, they give us what is easy, fast, and cheap. Just as we don't take the time to examine what we're eating and make wise choices, often we stick to what's easy in worship (which is usually what we already know) and we're spiritually out of shape because of it.JATBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08570676490610473755noreply@blogger.com
