Romans 12:1-2
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers in view of God's mercy to offer your bodies as
living sacrifices holy and pleasing to God - this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the
pattern of the world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what
God's will is - His good, pleasing and perfect will."

One of the problems with diet today is that some of us were not taught the facts
of a good diet. We need veggies, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, herbs, etc., and lots of water and exercise.
Where I grew up, we ate whatever hit the table (good or bad). There was a
time when my mother served up a beautifully cooked opossum. I looked at that and thought, "No way I'm going to eat that!"
So I ate whatever else we had on the table. But sometimes I wonder if the opossum would be better for you than the fast
foods of today. I have a hard time eating out because of all the food additives.
Here are other things to think about as the temple of God: What were we taught
about our fellowman? Do we think kind thoughts and speak blessings? Ephesians 4:29 "Do not let any unwholesome
talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit
those who listen." Also, what do we do with our time? It is awesome that we have the freedom to make choices
which will affect our lives and others around us.
This time it's carrots. The carrot is supposed to have originated from wild
carrots, known as Queen Anne's Lace. Carrots are high in vitamin A.

Beauty tip:
Complexion problems? For teens with pimples, white heads, or blackheads -
or for adults who may have boils, cysts, and abscesses - skin may be rough and dry. These problems may be due to poor
diet and are the result of an acid condition of the blood. Carrot juice is rich in potassium and helps neutralize
this excess acid. It also has an incredible amount of vitamin A which helps the liver remove toxins.

"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they
may have life, and have it to the full"
Don't let the ways of the world steal your life; give your body the foods it needs
to function. Have fun and see you next time.
