So, I was reading a bottle of arrowhead water today that stated, "a typical 12 oz. soda contains the equivalent (notice "equivalent" to you high fructose corn syrup intakers, of which I am often included) of 10 tsp. of sugar. Water has no sugar. Replacing one soda daily with water can cut 3650 tsp. of sugar from your diet."
Is Mary Poppins partially responsible for pushing America's obesity? "A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.", she says. So much for pushing 3 tsp. into my system to get me drugged up, that's a tablespoon. 3 tablespoons is 1/4 cup.
Just in case you didn't know, 3650 tsp of sugar is about 101 1/3 cup of sugar a year! I didn't drink a soda today... did you? Have any medicines lately???
Poor Mary... you might have a lawsuit coming your way. Diabetes? =0)>
On a more serious note... today the Lord put Dee in my path, a man who is suffering from lung cancer. I got to talk with him a little bit about his family today. As I asked him if I could pray, he told me, "No. Religion is a private thing to me." He does believe in Jesus, but please pray that his heart would be softened to even allow someone to pray for him, but mainly that he would truly receive Jesus' love.
