The Lame Sacrifice

"Life expectancy would grow by leaps and bounds if green vegetables smelled as good as bacon."
~Doug Larson

Treating our body like a temple is a discipline in itself. I know that I would like to be as healthy as possible and it was pretty clear in reading the bible that the Jews just didn't eat everything they wanted. The Lord clearly made a distinction between clean and unclean animals in the Old Testament.
I the New Testament Paul said we could eat everything as long as it was done with thanksgiving (Excluding things given to idols, of course). Quite frankly, I don't think everyone had a free for all in eating, though. I can still see the disciples remaining disciplined in eating even for health reasons. Luke was a physician and probabally was prevy to a lot of knowlege for those times.
Why am I saying this? In my own walk to trying to be a good Christian I feel I have a responsibly to take care of the health that the Lord gave me. Health is a form of prosperity. When I feel well I can think clearly, take care of my husband, work and run the household much smoother.
When I feel eat well I can concentrate better on my reading and praying.
I don't ever want to my sacrifices to the Lord to be in vain or lame because I am unappreciative or willful.
Lord, help me to keep a pure heart in all situations...
