Do Not Cast Lots in Your Temples.-(inspired by Mekenzie)

Our body is
a temple of God,
and I am sure
he does not mind
an occassional remodeling
that is beneficial.
But expansion
in pursuit
of gluttony
or reduction
to a skeletal frame
in pursuit of
what's vain
is not in his plan.
He has given
us many organs
to perform the
sweet long
drawn out
songs of life
within our
sacred flesh,.
We must keep
them in tune
and in harmony
with nature.
He has also
given us free will
to run our temples
anyway we choose,
but that gift comes
with consequences.
For like any
temple we require
maintenance, and
a congregation of
heathly donations
to our inner sanctum,
baptized with lots
of water, and an
occasional bit of wine.
The Garden of Eden
was a smorgasbord
of vegatables and fruits,
for Adam and Eve
to partake of.
We must remember
to add many of
these ancient
gifts to our
internal coffers
to avoid
an external coffin.
Remember Jesus
turned five loaves
and two fishes
into enough food
to feed thousands,
he didn't turn
donuts and fried
burgers into
such a blessing
for his followers.
Moderation
should be
a new religion
for our bodies,
we can all have a
little bit of everything
that tempts us...
but it's the willpower
to stop at just a
few tempting taters
that is most important.
And as we
care for
our own bodies
we must also
consider the less
fortunate
who go hungry,
Or thoses without
health care or without
the basic needs.
We should always
be concerned for
our fellow man
without whining about
what it cost
or how it will
be paid for
or which politician
should fix its
burdens.
We must
turn some of our
energy to helping them.
This will bless our soul,
and ease our minds,
and make God happy.
Anything less is
far too costly to us all
and makes this world
a most barbaric place.
