Church makes you Fat, and other musings

So, I have decided that church makes people fat. Last weekend I went to an Encounter God retreat and we ate awesome. We had stuffed pork chops for lunch with baked potatoes, green beans, and cole-slaw. Then we had monicals pizza for dinner. Now that is a lot of good food to have from the church. But the real problem is that they are always having free food, or nearly free meals. Like tonight I will go to VLT (leadership training) where we get free food. I think the vineyard plays it really smart by appealing to people stomach’s. But it isn’t like the Vineyard thought this up. I think back about all the different potlucks I’ve been to, and meals that churches have provided. I just think church’s want fat members. But maybe my love of food is more the problem, but I do think there is a little bit of a conspiracy going on here.

On other thoughts it is like super warm out and it is November 3rd….I’m wearing sandals, I like warm weather. Today I smelled a weird mix of fallen leaves and growing grass. It was like a little of fall and a little of spring mixing together, it was great, birds were around and singing, it was nice and I didn’t even have to wear a jacket. I hate school though, especially tests. I have a test coming up soon, either Thursday or next week Thursday, but I need to find that out and pull it together before then.

On a different note I read something in Brent’s blog that reminded me of some stuff. In my life my family has experienced miracles, my mother was healed from depression. If any of you have ever had depression or knew someone how suffered from serious depression you know that getting just healed in a day from this is like a huge deal. That is something that I knew when I was younger, but now I rely on my own experiences that I’ve seen directly as far as miracles or “weird coincidences” to remind myself that God is real and working in the world today. I don’t think that we should require proof from God that he is here, but I definitely enjoy the reminders that this stuff is real and God is working today in our lives.

But anyway, I’m out of here, time for class. Later I might write about my thoughts on blogging my devotions.
