One gallon to one cup of coke still sinning

[grapevine]

Yesterday in Sunday School went to the scripture on looking on sin with the least degree of allowance. Someone said if you go from a gallon to a cup of coke still sinning. Wow thats a lot of coke.

Then people had to visit candy machine at certian time. Addicted there. And other things that could be vices, Internet, espn and the like. Point they were not sins. But could be if they interfered with worship.

You'd have to be filthy rich to even buy a cup of coke, let alone a gallon. YOu must be in an affluent ward.

There are some pretty rich potato farmers up in those parts.

It's so amazing that our church members take anti-Pharisee scriptures, look at them with Pharisee eyes, and turn them into pro-Pharisee scriptures. I've almost given up hope.

I had a coke last night, it was good, but I felt a little guilty for doing it. Now that I know drinking a little coke is just as bad as drinking a gallon of it, maybe I should have felt a lot worse about it.

Either that or gone ahead and had a lot more.

Screw it, then. Give me the gallon.

In seriousness, one of my favorite stories from the book "Believing Christ" is the roughneck woman who struggled for years to give up smoking (during the process, I believe, she actually punched a member of the Relief Society during an argument) and finally did it. Incremental change is change, and I think God recognized her efforts (assuming he really cares about smoking, and I'm not sure He does).

Hold on loosely, js.

if all sin is the same and I'm sinning with everything I do, well then . . .

I agree with Eddie that you must have an affluent ward. Your ward has a lot of pull with HQ if you've got a candy machine in your building.

I decided to up my spirituality this year. The choice was to try and stop swearing or try to stop drinking diet coke.

I chose less swearing.

Note: Please do not think I am saying people who swear or drink coke are not spiritual. This is solely a personal matter.

Thanks for changing your avatar.

I've tried to give up swearing several times. I've given up, but it's a worthy fight, 71. I hope you are successful in giving that shit up.

You're giving up swearing this year? Can you go an entire year without golf?

There is a difference between "trying" and "doing" it. I will be happy if I find I have lessened the verbage, especially the granddaddy, the F word.

The frame around my license plate says, "I golf, therefor I swear." I actually had one person in the ward, a priesthood holder, tell me such a saying while funny isn't appropriate. He was dead serious. We were standing in the church parking lot.

I told him to F-off. Not really, but I did think it.

Last night at about 8:00 pm I was closing a door on my 100 year old p.o.s. "carriage house" and the sliding door came off the track and fell on me. I dropped a very loud F-bomb and a guy from my neighbors yard said, "hey, there are kids around." I didn't have time to come up with a reply because the stupid 200+ pound 8'x10' door was trying to stifle my profanity on its own. What has the world come to when a man can't drop the f-bomb when assaulted in their own yard by an inanimate object.
