"Phelps lends a new spin to the phrase "Breakfast of Champions" by starting off his day by eating three fried-egg sandwiches loaded with cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, fried onions and mayonnaise.
He follows that up with two cups of coffee, a five-egg omelet, a bowl of grits, three slices of French toast topped with powdered sugar and three chocolate-chip pancakes."
this is the first of three 4000 calorie meals michael phelps ate daily in order to keep his energy levels high during the olympics. understandable considering he swam 17 times over 9 days of competition.
believe it or not, this got me thinking about how we read the bible ... i know i'm nuts ... always have been; always wiill be. anyway, every so often i hear someone complain that they are not being fed enough at their church. what they mean is that the preacher is not getting deep enough in to the bible. my first thought when i hear someone say this is, "what are you doing with the bible 'scoop' you are getting?"
people tend to forget that bible study is not an end in itself; it is preparation for impact...for making a difference ... for joining god on mission.
my point is this: if you want 12000 calories of bible, you better be ready to join god at whatever pace it takes to burn those calories.
