He sent from above, He took me, He drew me out of many waters. Psalm 18:16 This is my salvation testimony in one verse.  I was busy going about my way to destruction and He reached down and rescued me. It wasn’t good works that I did to find deliverance.  It wasn’t that I was…

Here’s another food  you probably thought you could never see again on a healthy eating plan — pasta.  Most pasta, when cooked al dente, is low to low/moderate on the glycemic index.  That doesn’t mean that your whole diet can consist of pasta, but it does mean that pasta can be a good switch for…

Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.   Ps. 17:5 Sometimes a healthy eating plan seems like a slippery slope, doesn’t it?  It’s so easy to slide into bad habits and to make poor choices.  Easy to give up.  This verse is a prayer for the times when it is…

Here is another surprise for you — cream cheese.  You probably thought it was the cream cheese on the bagel that was adding the inches to your waistline.  Actually, it was the bagel!  Cream cheese is on the green-for-go list.  Click here to learn about the Green Light/Red Light eating plan.

We’re taking a look this week at some surprising foods that have a low GI number.  They can be a part of your long-term healthy living plan — if used wisely.  I’m afraid this isn’t a candy bar diet plan.  (Wouldn’t I make a million with that!) Here is surprise number one:  A Snickers bar…

I met the first “ghost” in the graveyard — a natural enough place to encounter one.  It should have been a dark and stormy night, though, instead of a brilliant spring afternoon.In fact, the graveyard was not spooky at all, just so  old that all the sadness had been had been scoured away by countless seasons.  All…

My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. II Corinthians 12:9b Do you feel too weak to bear the struggles and the temptations in your life?  Good news!  We have all the power of the Almighty God available to us.  He delights in showing His strength in our weaknesses.…

It’s recipe day!  I’m glad to say that this week’s dish was much less hassle than last week’s.  That’s partly because I cooked it in a crockpot.  Out of necessity, I might add, because now my stove and oven do not work.  Friends, you can check out my recipes with confidence, knowing they were tested…

For the weapons of our warfare are  not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.  II Corinthians 10:4 Sometimes it seems like we’re in the middle of a war — and we’re losing!  But what “seems” isn’t always so.  If you are a Christian, you are on the winning side. The…
