Pizza For Jesus? WWJL (What would Jesus like? pepperoni, or maybe anchovies?)

For the last two months, we've had the Gospel Messengers up to our house for practice on Thursday nights. Ruth takes great pleasure in setting a bountiful table, and the house is always impeccable, so the toll is starting to wear on us. We have two more practices left before our concert, so I suggested that one of them, we just have pizza. Our favorite pizza restaurant is closed, so I bought a pepperoni pizza at a different restaurant today. Anything for Jesus. :-) I used to love pizza, but only have it once or twice a year because it is loaded with cholesterol, saturated fats and white wheat flower (which is magically transformed into sugar as soon as you swallow it.) But, we are singing for Jesus, so I figured that for this one time, I'd have to sacrifice and have a pizza. I tell you, you could oil the wheels of progress with that pizza. If you wrung it out, you could probably get a couple of cups of yellow oil. Yecchhh! By the time that I got it home, half of the pepperoni had slid off the pizza and was floating in a yellow pool of oil in the corner of the box.

Tonight, I think I'll just have broccoli for supper. It's funny how, when you set out to change the way that you eat, your taste buds start to get real picky (in a good way.) I didn't enjoy the pizza at all, and am throwing the rest of it away. Next practice, I'll bake some French Bread pizza in the oven, using low fat mozzarella cheese and turkey sausage, and it will not only taste a lot better, but it will be at least a little healthier.

I'm sure that Jesus will understand.

"Thou can'st not liveth on white breadeth and saturated fats alone."
