"The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don't want, drink what you don't like, and do what you'd rather not." (Mark Twain)

Ha, ha. 😄

I think culinary knowledge has come a long way that we can cook healthy food deliciously. It may take a bit more effort, but if it is enjoyable and good for me, why not?

Apostle Paul wrote:

"So the trouble is not with the law, for it is spiritual and good. The trouble is with me, for I am all too human, a slave to sin. I don’t really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don’t do it. Instead, I do what I hate. ... Oh, what a miserable person I am! Who will free me from this life that is dominated by sin and death? Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord."

~ Romans 7.14,15,24,25 NLT

The joy of Christ and the pleasure of sin are different. I need to understand and appreciate the joy in the things that delight Jesus Christ and dwell on them. Instead of comparing tit for tat against the pleasure of sin - this is pointless.

The joy of Christ is powerful and peaceful at the same time. I want to desire it and find God's blessings in the pursuit of Christ.
