Radical approach from a man who lives what he says

"Don't waste your money.

You have your money as a steward, not as an owner. You don't own anything, not even your bodies. You are a manager. Get the notion that you own things out of your head.

This means that your money is wasted if it does not acheive the purposes of its owner—God. You have been entrusted with money so that the way you use it will show that Jesus is more valuable than money. How will you do that? That's the challenge of life in America.

Jesus talks about money more than he talks about heaven, hell, or any other sin.

(Luke 6:20, 8:14, 9:58, 12:15, 31, 33, 14:33; Matt 6:19-20, 6:25; 2 Cor 6:9-10; Eph 4:28; 1 Tim 6:7-10, 18)

Christianity is not a come-and-see religion, where we build big monuments . It's a go-and-tell religion. Therefore it requires wartime simplicity.

Put a cap on your lifestyle or it will take you over. How would you do that if you had access to royalties from thirty books? I face that problem. I've signed away all of them to a foundation because I'm afraid of it! I want to go to heaven far more than I want to be rich." - John Piper

I am a Koala Bear




























So Ashley is all about some healthy eats.  I tell her "I'll eat whatever you cook".  That's easy for me because usually it means an incredible meal.  I've also endured some more interesting forays into cooking with her occasional vegan delight.  

Well recently she decided to do a 21 day detox diet.  The diet is probably the most healthy thing you could do but definitely the most scary for an american, red meat, fried everything culture.   For the next 3 weeks I have to eat nothing but raw fruits, raw vegetables, and raw nuts.  Everything is "from the earth" and very pleasing to the northwestern area of the US.  (I've found there are entire families that eat this way

You have to eat a truckload of food on this thing.  I eat so many leaves I feel like a koala bear.  Also, I can't have coffee (ouch!).  Today was the first day and it wasn't too bad.  I agreed to this thing rather half-heartedly so if I quit in the next 24 hours don't be shocked.




























If I stick with it maybe I'll chronicle a few of my ups and downs.  Supposedly you feel great after about a week...will I make it that long?  Tonight I'm watching the game with some friends and there will most definitely be cheese dip in abundance.

Raw Vegan 4 Life!
