Jesus Ate Fig Bars So We Should Too (Suggested Blog Topic)

Last week, I was in my IT department's big room of cool things talking with our IT manager, who apparently things this blogger is pretty good. The guys are readers of The Great Blog of Kéto and especially had fun with posts like, "Dear John McCain, The Surge IS Working". So off the cuff, he and our IT developers came up with a few blogging topics which they thought might be hilarious (at least from a technology standpoint)--sort of like things that Dilbert might talk about if he blogged. One of these suggested blog topics was "Jesus Ate Fig Bars So We Should Too". We have a sort of snack cupboard filled with all sorts of tasty snacks for the hard-working adult. Different items and food groups make their way in and out of this place of love and warmth including malta, crackers (the subject of a future post), jerky, Sam's Trail Mix, pop tarts, Fig Newtons (or "fig bars" as I call them), Special K® Strawberry Bars, and more!

Anyhow, Josh remarked that you know what some of our snacks just weren't healthy! (Josh works out all the time). Take for example the Fig Newtons sitting on the shelf. Sure they taste great, but did we know that Fig Newtons are high in calories with over 50 calories per cookie? Well, I responded that since Jesus ate figs according to Mark 11:12-14 of the New Testament, then I would continue eating figs as well in the memory of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. According to the Bible, Jesus was passing by a tree with his disciples, and Jesus cursed the fig tree for not producing figs during it's season as was expected. Boy he must have been pretty mad!
