Alcohol

I have been thinking about the mixed blessing of alcohol. Yesterday had been a long day. Jim and I were headed home and stopped in the Bulldog for supper. I had a hamburger and a beer called Blue Moon with an orange squeezed into it, very yummy and satisfying. Sometimes when I am home I have a glass of wine with my meals, but sometimes I keep going and have too much and feel yucky the next day. There are some people in my life who drink way too much, so much it is messing up their lives. Alcohol is a poison. My sister in law's sister has ruined her life with alcohol. She is younger than I am and looks 70. She now has permanent brain and body damage due to alcohol. Christ turned water to wine. God turns water into wine all the time with His grapes and the fermenting activities of his creation. God forbids drunkenness and excess. I think that can also mean too often as well as too much. Our bodies are amazing things. May we walk in wisdom always in regards to them and in love toward those around us.
