The Jesus Diet…

A few years ago a new diet book came out on the market called “The Jesus Diet.”  The book called for a diet of nuts, raisins, dates, etc. — foods that Jesus would have eaten.  My Dad thought it would be a great idea to try this diet some time ago.  He lost some weight.  He also got diverticulitis.  Our Afghan guests love to serve foods similar to those in the Jesus Diet.  Today at a meeting with Afghan elders I was offered a plate with almonds, dates (This was my first time eating them), dried raisins and pistachios.  It was real tasty.  I’ll let you know if I start having abdominal pains!
