Flax Seed Cookies with nuts and raisins

Bake off one batch (about 32 good sized cookies) and freeze the rest. I form the uncooked dough into two batches which I make into a roll. Then I just freeze it, and cut off as many cookies as I want when I want them. It takes me about an hour, start to finish with clean up to make and freeze the dough.

Black Beans in a crockpot. Lucious, lowfat, fiber filled.

If you suffer from diabetes, beans offer a source of complex carbohydrates that will not cause a rapid increase in blood sugar. Because the starches in beans take longer to break down, they have a low glycemic index. This means that sugar is released more slowly into the bloodstream, which keeps total glucose levels lower over a longer period of time. They are also low in calories, an excellent benefit if you are trying to watch your weight and still enjoy rich, satisfying meals.

Fettuccini Alfredo made with cashews tastes just like cream. No kidding.

This is a scrumptuous dish for when you feel like splurging. Beware, it is not low fat. It only has 2 teaspoons of butter, so other than that, all the fats used are the "good for you kind".

Who really rules our country and the world ?

Death angels?

What Say Ye? I'm not saying that the Lord brought this about. I think I may have heard or read that a careless disposal of a cigarette started at least some of this disaster. But one day, all across this land we will see images like this, and there won't be enough water on earth to douse the flames that are scattered abroad by the command of the Lord.

Obsolete, Aging and Disappearing

Hebrews 8 teaches that God's new covenant, the covenant of grace allows a sacrifice once for all through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. That God has written his law on my heart and put his law in my mind. His holy spirit brings will remind me and/or prompt me of what to do or what not do to do.

Faith with no value

And so, why don't Christians vote their values? Isn't a vote for a leader who supports abortion rights against all a Christian believes in? This post is not about the abortion issue. But this post is about the values we hold dear.

If we hold

Hebrews 3:14 - We have come to share in Christ if (emphasis mine) we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first. ________________________ Over the years of my Bible reading, study and meditation I continually come across that little word "if". Songs have been written about that word, poems and no doubt … Continue reading If we hold

Drifting toward the ocean of unbelief.

Heb.1-3 - Reading through the chapters God is so powerful that simply by his "word" he can sustain us. We are exhorted in these chapters to pay close attention to not not just God's word but the hearing of God's word. What this means to me is to heed the godly words others speak into … Continue reading Drifting toward the ocean of unbelief.
