Our country, so it seems, runs on choice. The more choices we have the better we like it. Most people in America pride themselves on the ability to make their own choices.

297 pounds. Personally, I have lost the same 5 pounds for over 30 
years. I lose 5 pounds and then by golly, three weeks later I find 
those 5 pounds, at least they recognize me. 

Anybody can lose weight; it is all a matter of choice. Personally, I do
not plan to lose any sleep because I cannot lose weight. I think it is 
going to be rather funny if when we go to heaven everybody is fat. 
Wouldn't that be something? We plummet ourselves almost to death trying 
to lose weight and get to heaven and everybody is fat. 

It all boils down to choice. It all boils down to the fact that most
people think they are making their own choices. 

Those of us who are on the husband side of the marital equation know we
do not make our own choices. Our choices are made for us by our “better 
half.” Why do you think we get married? 

My wife is a great one for fruit and vegetables. Every day of our life
is fruit and vegetables. To mix things up a little bit one day it will 
be vegetables and fruit. 

She prepares the fruit and then invites me to make a choice. I am sure
she did not see all of this in any television commercial; at least I 
hope she hasn't. She is proud of the display of fruit choices she has 
for me. 

She is also concerned about my diet. Much more than I am. I do not think
my diet is so important that both of us should be concerned about it. 
If she chooses to be concerned about my diet, that is her choice. 

I choose to be a little more cavalier when it comes to dieting. 

Actually, and do not tell her I said this, but my fruit of choice is the
humble Apple fritter. It has everything my heart desires and a few 
things my body desires, too. 

I like with David said, “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall
give thee the desires of thine heart” (Psalms 37:4 KJV). 

It is all a matter of choice, that is, making the right choice.
