I was hungry for some news. I have a digital subscription to The New York Times, who has teamed up with Google to make an app that works brilliantly and smoothly, both on my phone and on the computer. They run ads, so that keeps the cost down to just $9.99 a month. The ads are not the obnoxious kind, that take up the whole screen and hide the X to get rid of the ad. But I digress.
As I said, I am hungry for some news. I am a news junkie. But I am trying out a new working theory that I formulated while learning about nutrition and the salad diet.
I noted that when I started to increase my fiber and fat on a regular basis, my hunger pangs lessened. Evidently these two ingredients have lessened my dependence on carbs. Carbs are not a sin, but carbs do make up the majority of what is known as junk food. Junk food also is not a sin, but it can easily take over my life. It is very refreshing to not be overwhelmed with an appetite for junk food.
The new higher fiber, higher fat diet has evidently switched my body over to a fat burner. Since I have plenty of fat on hand, my body isn't as desperate now to stuff my mouth with carbs.
Now to the new working theory. I think news is like junk food. It is not a sin, but it does not satisfy. The more I know, the more I want to know.
However, the Living and Written Word is not junk food. He satisfies. He turns my Spirit and Soul into a fat burning machine. Since I am surrounded by the blessings of God, which is the fat that God promises, I am betting that my hunger for knowledge and facts will not roar out of control.
Praising God brings his presence. Just listing my blessings for the day could keep me busy all day every day. I see, I believe, therefore I speak, as Paul said. Every thing is YES in God's Kingdom.
Does this mean I am going to stop pursuing the news? Not hardly. Nor am I going to stop eating homemade biscuits, rolls, or even candy. But what I plan to do is to keep increasing praise, thanksgiving, worship, and seeking the Living and Written Word until I feel that hunger for news turn down from a blast furnace to a simmering curiosity.
I am going to Bible Gateway for a while, until my hunger and thirst is slated, and I'm filled with the high fiber, probiotic, high protein, and high fat of God's richness. Then I'll catch up on the New York Times.
