Diet coke has no calories but since I don’t like them much I don’t drink them like I did cokes. I drink water a lot but try to eat a lot of green vegetables and I have been buying oranges, apples, etc. They have natural sugar in them but I have to eat something. I fixed a nice steak Thursday night and had asparagus...no bread and it was filling and delicious. But I love pasta of any kind and potatoes and I am staying away from them until I go back and get my blood checked Wednesday. And I still am weak. Sugar gives energy, doesn’t it? Did the dr. tell you to cut back or are you trying to lose weight?

jaycee, I love potatoes & pasta also & LOVE, LOVE, LOVE cheese.. I dont have really healthy eating overall.. I think we all have our weak areas & I think if we in general have good eating habits we can on occasion go for our splurges.

I have never read a lot on the nautural ways with sugar problems, diabetes etc. It is no doubt an entirely different ball game.

I need to get ready to leave for the day. Hang in there!

[jaycee]

Dolly, I plan on reading this whole thing after church. I don’t feel like going this morning but I have been out several Sundays and will try to get there today. If I feel too bad on my way out, I may not go but I will try first! I have felt worse since I cut out sugar and carbs....just dragging!

Keep The Fire Burning

READ: Romans 12:9-21

[Be] fervent in spirit. —Romans 12:11

Modern furnaces have taken the work out of keeping warm in cold climates. We simply set the timer on the thermostat, and the house is warm when we get up in the morning. But in former days, fire was carefully tended and fuel supplies were closely monitored. Running out could be deadly.

The same is true spiritually. If we think our “spiritual fire” can be ignited as easily as a modern furnace, we risk losing our fervor for the Lord.

In ancient Israel, the priests were instructed not to let the fire on the altar go out (Lev. 6:9,12-13). This required a lot of work, not the least of which was collecting firewood in a land not known for its dense forests.

Some scholars see the fire on the altar as a symbol for the flame of our devotion for the Lord. Spiritual passion is not something to be treated lightly or taken for granted. It will grow cold if we fail to keep it supplied with fuel.

The apostle Paul addressed the subject of spiritual fervor in his letter to the Romans (12:1-2,11). To keep the fire of our devotion burning strong, we must continue the hard work of stocking our fuel supply with hope, patience, steadfast prayer, generosity, hospitality, and humility (vv.11-16).

O God, my heart is the altar
And my love for you is the flame;
I’ll keep the fire burning for You, Lord,
And I will rejoice in Your name. —Hess

Our love for Jesus is the key to spiritual passion

~Revelation 3:20~

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice,
and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and he with me. .

Thank you Dolly!

My daughter suggested I go to Central Market (she gave me a gift cert at Christmas for there) and ask them for their sugar free GLUTEN free foods recipes etc.

Not sure why Gluten free. Cardiologist had suggested no white bread, sugar, or white rice.

I would suggest one addendum, Dolly.

Cancer cells are in a growth spurt. They need a plentiful blood supply. Anything that stresses them is an effective anticancer treatment.

The thing you did not mention is heat. Occasionally, doctors have noted a serendipitous spontaneous healing of tumors when the patient is responding to another infection.

The body’s fever reaction stresses the tumor.

This means that if you like sauna treatments, they could be part of your therapy.

It isn’t a cure-all, but when you’re trying to control such an insidious foe, every weapon needs to be utilized.

[NicknamedBob]

Yessir, those Lippizaners sure are mighty good horses.

[MEG33]

LOL on your tagline..Interesting information about heat being cancer’s enemy.

Behold, I Stand at the Door

Here in this world there’s a chance.
Opportunity comes each day,
To turn around our lives and live
In that exemplary way.

I’ve known about the doorway,
My parents knocked me too.
There isn’t any question that,
I know what I should do.

But here is what concerns me,
Let’s call it Heaven’s Key,
“The only way to the Kingdom,”
(His words!) “… is by me.”

So the crux of my dilemma,
Believe me, it’s a gem.
If I have blocked His way down here,
How can I get by Him?
