It is interesting to watch. I'm getting a handle on the whole 'car' thing. Pretty amazing how many of them there are in this country. And interesting to watch how they get cared for in comparison to the care for the driver... for the people.
There are two clear choices for fuel: Gas or Diesel. No one puts the wrong kind of fuel in their vehicle, even if it is much less expensive. You know it just won't work.
There are of course many more options for food. It is not just about more expensive vs less expensive, but clearly, some of the things people eat are not good for them. The feedback is not as fast as diesel fuel in a car that needs unleaded gasoline, which makes the engine quickly stop and lots of damage is done. Our bodies are quite a bit more forgiving - they don't just immediately stop working with bad fuel... but damage is done none-the-less.
From another perspective with cars, I came across an interesting Tweet: "What would car insurance cost -- if you never changed the oil & every time the engine breaks down, your insurance covers the repair?"
God clearly has given his followers an important task to do - tell the world the Good news of Jesus. The way we take care of our bodies - or not - makes a big difference in our readiness to carry out that task.
Wheat Ridge helps congregations that want to help people do just that - take care of the bodies we've been given. Christ Memorial Lutheran in St Louis is a great example of a congregation helping people to be healthy.
