EAT WHAT YOU WANT<\/p>\n

You can eat what you want,
\nIt is really fine by me,
\nJust know I do not care,
\nFor your stiff legality.<\/p>\n

What goes in is not a sin,
\nAs the Lord clearly said,
\nDietary laws save us not,
\nTo such things we are dead.<\/p>\n

I like meat, but you don’t,
\nOkay, it’s no need to sweat,
\nWhat’s important most of all,
\nIs that Jesus paid our debt.<\/p>\n

So tho we all eat differently,
\nI hope we can still agree,
\nLove is still the Royal Law,
\nAnd begins with civility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
