Fiber is a word that we hear in the news a lot these days. My Plate even mentions fiber in an indirect way when it says make half your grains whole.

Recently I received an invitation to a dinner. It is a dinner that many people have been invited to attend. When a person receives an invitation they may either accept or decline. It is their choice. Usually we accept if we know the person well, have the time and know the cook is going to have something scrumptious to eat.

Revelation 2:10b: “Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.” It’s far too easy to grow weary, give in, and drift with the prevailing currents. But the only way for you and me to finish strong is to be relentless in our faith.What does it mean to be relentless?

Romanos 3:20-28 ya que por las obras de la ley ningun ser humano sera justificado delante de el; porque por medio de la ley es el conocimiento del pecado.

Hunting season is over. I know because hundreds of trucks pulling ATVs passed me on the highway. The economic crunch has not quite hit the hunting industry. That is a wonderful thing for this area! So many businesses rely on this annual influx of buying. That thought of course, brings to mind the Dr.Pepper mess in Dublin.
