Hazzard Sat, 10 May 2008 00:42:09 +0000 http://humbleoradio.com/writing/overlooking-obesity/#comment-108 I read a recent report that the State of Alabama (where I now live) ranks highest in the number of obese people. I was thinking about Alabama being in the "Bible Belt", and how the majority of prodestants in the South are Baptists. The Southern Congregations have their Wednesday Night Suppers, as a tradition, and the ones I have been to are like an "all you can eat buffet". They also go out to eat after Church service on Sunday, and it is usually a race to the restaurants! If the South is the "Bible Belt", Alabama must be the "Buckle" of that "Belt", so they have the power to increase the size of it. I once heard a pastor teaching on the Body of Christ and that we are differnet parts of that Body. He exclaimed that his congregation must be the STOMACH, as all they did was have suppers and luncheons all week. I agree this is a denominational problem, but it is also a National problem. As Christians, if Jesus is to be Lord of our Lives, He also needs to be Lord of our Forks! Loved the article! Your Friend, at Humble O Radio, S.L.

I did a google search for the report but couldn't find it...got a link at all?
