Nine Lies in the Not-Yet-Married Life Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, perhaps one of the more polarizing holidays of our year. It’s very fun and exciting for the love birds, too commercial and insincere for the skeptics, and sometimes especially lonely for the single. Singleness’s greatest sorrows are secretly reinforced every February in the souls of the not-yet-married still waiting for their wedding day. While many of our friends and family are inundated with dates, flowers, chocolate, and love notes, lots and lots of the valentine-less are overwhelmed with everything from impatience to bitterness, from shame to regret to confusion. There will likely be good-intentioned, lovingly-naive husbands and wives who forget the emotional complexities of unwanted singleness and enthusiastically encourage you to just enjoy this season of “dating Jesus.” The Full and Fruitful Single Life We want our lives to be full and fruitful. “As much as God loves marriage, he didn’t design it to bear the burden of our eternal purpose and happiness.”
lightened up homemade granola After Wednesday’s post, I’m going to lighten things up in here. Both in mood and with this lightened up granola. First, though, thank you for your comments and sharing your thoughts on that post. Weight is never an easy subject to tackle, but it was on my mind and I wanted to make a point about assumptions, specifically the assumption I maintain my weight thanks to luck. Many of you appreciated it, a few, as expected, did not, and all of your comments were thought-provoking for me and provided a few ideas for future posts. So, thank you! Now, on to the topic of the day, which is homemade granola. I found this recipe from David Lebovitz and liked how it uses very little oil and a lot of applesauce for the wet ingredients. Despite being lower in fat and lower in sugar than most granolas you will find, the taste and texture are incredible. Homemade granola is one of the easiest things you will make.

Thy Mercy, My God - #SheReadsTruth Text: Colossians 1:13-29, Philippians 2:1-11 John Stocker wrote a hymn, “Thy Mercy My God, Is The Theme Of My Song,” in 1776 that I discovered on the pages of a Gadsby’s Hymnal about ten years ago. I wrote a new melody to his four stanzas that afternoon, and these words have been an arresting companion for me in many changing seasons since that day. Your mercy, my God. This morning, I was heavy with sleep when my double alarms went off at 6:00 and 6:08. I was slow-moving to get out of bed, having been awake during the night thinking about my kids, their school progress, my work schedule and the intersection of all those life forces. Today, His mercy is coming. Without your sweet mercy, I could not live here. Mercy is God giving us what we need when we don’t deserve an ounce of goodness. Some days we see a quick answer to yesterday’s prayers. I can say sometimes, like St. Your goodness, I own. Here, John’s hymn proclaims another bold expectation.
Dole Whip Recipe - Bring Disney to your Kitchen! Homemade Pineapple Dole Whip! Do you know about the famous Disney Dole Whip? The original Dole Whip recipe—a swirled pineapple soft-serve dessert—enjoys somewhat of a cult following, with long lines of up to an hour at every location where it is served. This popular frozen treat is only available at a few select locations, the most famous being Aloha Island near the Tiki Room in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Based on that memory of a smooth, creamy, chilled pineapple confection with a slight lemon tang, I’ve come up with my own homemade version of the Disney favorite that can be whipped up in your very own kitchen.

And a note to vegans: surprisingly, Disney’s Dole Whip recipe is vegan. Print This Recipe 5/5 Ingredients Dole Whip Recipe Yield: 3 Servings Instructions Blend all ingredients until smooth.
Essential Amino Acids in Vegetables Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, used by the body to grow and repair tissue, break down food and carry out many other bodily functions. Of the 21 amino acids, nine are essential, meaning they must be obtained from the diet. These nine are leucine, isoleucine, lysine, tryptophan, histidine, phenylalanine, valine, methionine and threonine. Starchy vegetables such as white potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes are good sources of amino acids in the diet. Beans and legumes are a good source of vegetable-based amino acids. Leafy green vegetables are sources of a variety of nutrients including amino acids. While a lot of vegetables are considered incomplete proteins, a few plant-based foods are exceptions to the rule and are complete proteins. Eating Enough Protein? LIVESTRONG.COM Most Popular
