Diet, part one

It's been awhile, and an e-mail request from my Pastor motivated me to get back to posting.  Yes-I'm my Pastor's personal trainer, while he's my spiritual trainer!

Diet-"Die with a T" as Garfield used to say, will be the topic of the next few posts.  I'll try to get them posted up over the weekend so I don't lose momentum and you don't lose interest.  Our diet and how we should eat is one of the reasons this blog is titled "Creation Fitness".  I am a staunch creationist, and believe God created this world with great wisdom and design.  He created all the world, and created us to be in this world.  What is here physically is good for us to use and enjoy, and we are to be stewards of the physical world.  I am not a "Gnostic" at all (but I love gnocchi, so maybe I'm a "Gnocchist")  Just as I believe we are most fit and healthy when we use our bodies in all the ways they were created to be used, we are healthiest when we eat the foods God created, not some laboratory, and in the great variety God gave us.

So starting at the beginning, here are two verses from Genesis that will be the basis for the next few posts:

1:29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food.

9:3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything. 

Time to go use that body God created for me to use in full body compound movements, but that's a whole other topic!
