Does your local pastor teach about the dangers of gluttony and excess?
Are many afraid of the subject because of their own bulging waistline?

As for my family.........I take it as serious as I do other things.... Now, I don't think just because someone is overweight, they are a glutton... But it's when you eat and eat and are full but you still want more....that is wrong... My husband can't stand buffets for that reason... You eat more than you body needs. I know I do. I can go to a restaurant and be satisfied with the one plate of food they bring out and I usually don't order dessert. Get me to a buffet and i will have 2nds, maybe 3rds and then dessert for sure! Mmm a good slice of carrot cake... Oh my oh my!!! Oh great, just thinking about it put more lbs on me!! hahahaha
I think that if we start preaching on Gluttony, that will take away the one thing left for some apostolics to do! lolol jk
