If we can't care for our bodies in the simple things of life, like eating healthy, and realize that it is important, when it comes to other things, more detrimental behaviors, it is hard to say, ok, NOW you have crossed the line. Whether it be amputations of healthy limbs (????????????? THAT is whacked!), major obesity, sexual immorality, obsessive plastic surgery, or whatever. The church should take a much stronger stand, in my opinion, on caring for these temples/tents God has given each of us.<BR/><BR/>My body is NOT my own!Susan L.
