Getting in shape and praying to Jesus
Posted on
October 7, 2010
Working out and Jesus both were topics that did not make it into
the paper from the Lodi City Council meeting.
First up, Councilwoman JoAnne Mounce said that she participated
in a conference call with Michelle Obama on the Let's Move!
campaign.
"I'm 50. I'm fat. I've always been this way," Mounce said.
Mounce plans to join the initiative, which focuses on heathly
eating and being more active. With children spending more time in
front of computers and TVs, she hopes parents will use the campaign
to get the whole family moving. It is also targeting schools to
offer healthier lunch options and get people exersizing.
"I'm going to start moving myself, and see if I can drop some
weight and be an example to younger people," she said.
Make sure to check out the website for more information on how
to live a healthy lifestyle.
The other surprise commenter was Vincent Sayles. He came and
spoke in favor of Christian prayers in 2009. In 2006, The Record
did a profile on Sayles after he became
well-known in Stockton for having anti-gay rhetoric on his
truck.
At the meeting last night, he said he was quite angry when he
spoke last time and disappointed the council didn't pray to Jesus
before every meeting.
"It wasn't a sinful anger, but I was angry that Jesus who
created man, who died for man ... who created the Earth, they are
fighting over whether they are going to pray to Jesus," he
said.
When he approached the podium, he set down his large water
bottle that looked like it once held a handle of alcohol and hung
his green canvas hat on it.
He said the council should pray to Jesus in anticipation of
judgement day, and that everyone needs to clense their
spirits.
"I'm promoting that ... you reevaluate the need to pray to
Jesus. He is our creator, he is our judge, and on judgement day,
ooo, it's going to be hot," he said.

"At the meeting last night, he said he was quite angry when he spoke last time and disappointed the council didn't pray to Jesus before every meeting."
Probably because to do so would violate the separation of church and state. Need one be reminded of the issue brought up months before, when the Freedom From Religion Foundation pointed this simple fact out to the city council?
I prefer a moment of silence.
