If we only identify with the mortal world, then we identify with a level of scarcity and lack and brokenness, and that will be our experience.

How we think and how we behave determine where we are going

There is no way that carrying fifty or sixty extra pounds is easy on your heart, your lungs, or your liver. That's a fact. Every person in the world, no matter what size, shape, or form they are, deserves respect and love. But that doesn't mean we are supposed to pretend that something is healthy when in fact it is not.
