RM, yep, I thank the Lord for good wine and beer and I enjoy them, in moderation, of course. To quote the Good Book:
1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Here are some fun quotes from others of the past:
God in his goodness sent the grape to cheer both great and small. Little fools will drink too much and great fools none at all--author unknown
Do not suppose that abuses are eliminated by destroying the object which is abused. Men can go wrong with wine and women. Shall we then prohibit and abolish women?--Martin Luther
So, hey guys, don't be afraid to invite this "pastor" over for a few beers. Though I'm quite conservative in my theological and political views, I really am an easy-going guy (if I do say so myself :-)
Cheers!
