WOW! I got so much out of this article. I have struggled with these same issues in my life...and continue to struggle with them. I needed to read this article. It gave me a "new" perspective on my "old" struggles. I realized that I am full of pride. God is working on my pride so strongly and this article was a powerful witness. I can see that I have substituted other indulgences in the place of the indulgences I am trying to give up. All the indulgences are taking the place of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I need to turn to him in prayer with everything, not just when I have a really big need. Not just once or twice a day! All day, everyday with all things, big and small. Thank you, Mayo! I look forward to looking at your other articles. May God's light continue to shine through you!

Talk about hitting home! I need to lose at least 30 pounds and this article spoke to me about my attitude toward over eating among other "acceptable" sins in my life. Thank you.

The Holy Spirit will guide believers who are willing to submit. Remeber the scripture which says that everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Or the message in the bible that says you are not judged by what you eat or drink or the moon festival because all these things are shadows of things to come. Or the message which says that all you do---do it with thanksgiving to God, our Father. Whether in words or deed---all for God's glory. Coming to America, Ive come to grasp that there are gazillions of choices here. Just observe the choice of cheese we have--there's blue cheese, mozzarella, parmesan and all sorts. You search for eggs you encounter organic, inorganic, small, large or medium size etc. even in our things--- coats can be made of polyester, types of fur, length color style etc. These things are not wrong---but how we approach the blessings God has given us matters most. Its our RELATIONSHIP that matters. God provides a way for our 'things' to be shared.
