I am a reactive hypoglycemiac also known as postprandial hypoglycimia. Symptoms are hunger, nervousness, perspiration, shakiness, dizziness, light-headedness, sleepiness, confusion, difficulty speaking, and feeling anxious or weak. That means that my blood sugar level is usually 70 or below, when it should be anywhere from 70-140 (depending on when I eat). Doctors haven't exactly figured out an overall cause, but its between the idea that some people are more sensitive to the bodys release of  hormone epinephrine and/or deficiencies in glucagon secretion. A few ways to treat reactive hypoglycemia are to eat small meals and snacks about every 3 hours. exercise regularly. eat a variety of foods, mostly, or nonmeat sources of protein, starchy foods, fruits, vegetables, and dairy.i need to eat foods high in fiber and avoid or limit foods high in sugar, especially on an empty stomach. So there's what I found out. I also read that if I pass out and someones with me then the fastest way to get sugar back into me is to give me a few spoon fulls of honey. Im glad I know this stuff now so I can take care of my temple, but I wanted to let you all know so you can know whats going on with me and help me if I ever need it.

OK, so i would like to start out by warning whoever reads my blogs that  am a pentacostal christian and that basically means that whatevers in the Bible is what i believe.if its not in there then its convictional (i think i just made that word up:), but if its against anything in the bible then i am totally against it. so when i write or talk to people i usually use a lot of scripture to make my points. a lot of people say im up tight or that i have a "holier than though" attitude and if ive ever offended anyone im very sorry and i promise i didn't mean to. i just take what i think from the word of god.

so now that thats cleared up. i want to talk about a very contraversial subject and one that a lot of people dont "agree" on probably just because they dont want to face the facts. you can even read it for yourself if you dont believe me. so please take a deep breath and really think about what you are about to read.

so this morning in youth sunday school (and no its not the kind where when you show up you get a sparkley little star on the attendance poster), our "teacher" at the moment gave us a bumch of scriptures on drinking and what the bible has to say about it. i was very happy because every time ive tried to talk to someone about why i think that, biblically, drinking is wrong they always have the response "well jesus turned water into wine..." and he did, but, well, ill just give you the scriptures.

random "drunk" scriptures:

"and do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the spirit"  Ephesians 5:18  How can you be drunk and filled with spirit at the same time?

"But I now have written unto you not to keep company with any man who is called a brother if he is a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner. With such a one you are not even to eat." 1 corinthians 5:11

"nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the Kingdom of God." 1corinthians 6:10 it even says it right here, that they wont get into heaven!!

"Therefore thou shalt say unto them, `Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Drink ye and be drunken, and spew and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you".  jeremiah 25:27

drinking steals money:

"for the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty, and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags". Prov. 23:21

"But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel".  1 timothy 5:8 in order to drink you have to buy it and that stuff isnt cheap, especially once the whole "i only ever drink one..." bit flies down the drain.

drinking sets a bad example:

"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" Proverbs 22:6 so say a kid grows up watching one or both of their parnts drinking, what happens then?

"And ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord". Ephesians 6:4

"Abstain from all appearances of evil". 1 thessalonians 5:22 

so if we can all agree that the world is evil and what the people do who are of the world is evil,drinking for example, then we could agree that as christians, drinking would look like the world and by doing that it is an appearance of evil. how much clearer do you get? the verse above doesn't say "abstain from all appearances of evil unless you only drink one..." No it says "from all appearances". i think that basically sums it up. i have even more scriptures if any of you want them let me know, but i think we covered just about everything on this subject.

i hope you were blessed!
