Something
so good could be so bad.
I am a
fan of Outback steakhouse.
They
are a little on the pricey side so we can’t go there all the time, but if
Hailee and I were going on a hot date and money wasn’t an issue, most likely we
could end up at Outback.
About
1-2 years ago they added a burger to their menu.
The
Bloomin Onion burger.
It’s
the Bloomin Onion appetizer on top of a cheeseburger.
It is
amazing!
My second
favorite burger next to the bonzi burger from Red Robin.
It is
amazing.
On top
of that I have them make the fries into outback cheese fries.
This is
an amazing meal.
I love
the taste and I enjoy every bite.
Until I
see the health content….

BUT
There
are 7g of fiber and 56g of protein so I have that going for me.
Take it
I do switch mustard with the bloomin onion sauce, so I think that lowers
everything about 50 percent right?
Then
the killer is the cheese fries.
The
cheese fries at outback are amazing.
We
usually order them and I eat about 75 percent of them.
Health

Wow.
On top
of it all, Men’s Health listed the
cheese fries at outback the Number 1 worst food to eat in America.
How do
I live when I eat this meal?
How
could something that taste so good, be so bad for you?
This
can happen so many times in life.
Something
we enjoy especially for a quick fix can be so bad for us.
Sometimes
its food, sometimes it’s something we get caught up in and other times it could
be people.
Could
something that is good for us, we hate?
A lot
of people could say vegetables in here, but what about people?
Listen
to how they describe Stephen and what opposition he faced in Acts 6:8-10…
“Now
Stephen, a man full of God’s grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs
among the people. Opposition arose,
however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called) –
Jews of Cyrene and Alexandria as well as the provinces of Cilicia and
Asia. These men began to argue with
Stephen, but they could not stand up against his wisdom or the Spirit by whom
he spoke.”
Stephen
was known for doing amazing things and yet people didn’t like him.
How
could someone known for doing amazing things, be a bad person to the people?
Sometimes
we are very hard on other people.
I have
seen this happen in schools a lot where the people that are really nice and
respectful are treated like dirt by other people.
Why is
this?
What
makes us be bad to good people?
Stephen
was a great man and yet people didn’t like him.
They
tried to speak against him but he was wise beyond them.
Stephen
was a great person.
Some
things like that burger are very bad even though they taste very good.
People
treated Stephen very bad even though he was very good.
Bad vs.
Good.
How
does this happen?
Why do
we sometimes treat good people so bad?
Think
about one person you are not nice too.
Why are
you mad at that person?
Could
the relationship be saved?
Things
can change in life.
Attitudes
can change.
We don’t
have to make the same mistakes and can repair relationships.
We don’t
have to treat other people bad when they honestly could be very nice people.
How can
you be nice to someone you have been mean to today?
Have a
great day!
