Am I Ingesting Or Digesting?

I just had to post this link ... it just had such an impact on me that I didn't want to forget about it. And I wanted to be able to refer to it at some later date when I'm trying to remember who wrote it and where I could find it.

Lysa Terkeurst recently wrote a book called Made To Crave -- and I admit that while I'm a fan of Lysa's I haven't yet picked up the book or read it. I am so focused lately on learning as much as I can about the benefits of a vegan diet and lifestyle (and how to transition into it) that most of the books I'd also like to be reading have been put on the back burner.

But I do try to follow her blog and today she posted about how her husband saw a woman sitting in a Taco Bell parking lot reading the book. Lysa gave her the benefit of the doubt (hoping I'm sure that the woman wasn't munching on TB while reading the book) but it made her wonder how many people are INGESTING the message, but not DIGESTING it.

Hmmm. As Lysa points out in her post, there's a big difference between INGESTING and DIGESTING. Her message really hit home with me - perhaps in another sense in addition to what her post was intending. I realized that I can read and study and try my hardest to learn everything there is to know about the benefits of a vegan lifestyle -- but if I then just go off and grab a burger and fries for dinner, what's the point?

I think this little wake-up call has really helped me to put all this into perspective. There needs to be a little less studying, and a lot more doing.

Thank you Lysa! Great message!
