Fruit Salad dressing with OJ

Several years ago, I ate fresh fruit salad regularly at the office cafeteria because it was the best tasting I had ever had.  I finally asked the cook what it was and was astounded at her reply.  "Choose whatever fresh fruit you like and cut it up for salad.  Mix equal amounts of frozen orange juice concentrate with sugar."  (Of course you use more for big salad, less for small salad.)  The citric acid keeps all the fruit from turning and the flavor is wonderful.  Such an easy way to serve fantastic fruit salad or serve as dessert.  WOW!

Sometimes the truth is hidden

Several years ago, I had something wrong with me (don't even remember what it was) and prayed for healing. It didn't happen and I was really seeking the Lord about it because His Word says that He heals us when we pray. I asked Him what was going on? I had prayed and I believed His Word and I didn't understand why it hadn't manifested. He spoke to me: "Think about a Christmas tree, He said. It's so fresh, so green and so DEAD! It shocked me. He continued, "The evil energy source has been severed and although it is not apparent immediately, just wait until the sap has gone out to the branches as it will dry up and you will see that it is dead." He continued: "Many people pray for healing and when they do not see immediate results, reconnect the sickness to the evil energy source and it looks as though they were not healed."

God is our Healer

After two Dr appointments that my heartbeats were not recovering as they should, asked Pastor Hilley to anoint me with oil and pray for me. Today I saw the Dr and it was fine. God has so many ways for us to be healed because He wants us healed. After doing a search about some of the ways God heals us, I came up with 19. A few are: speak the Word only; the laying on of hands; the prayer of faith; anointing with oil, submitting yourself to God and resisting the devil; the prayer of agreement... God is our Healer if we will let Him be. He rarely heals us the same way twice.

Yes you need Term Insurance

Charlie Brown and Lucy are on the right track - although the cost is a little higher.  YOU NEED TERM INSURANCE if you are married or married with children.  No one thinks they might not be around to raise their children, but there are statistics out there that tell us that it is a possibility.  Do you know that you can buy Term Insurance for mere pennies and provide for your family if you are not there?  The younger you are, the cheaper it is.  Usually it is a level monthly payment for 20 years.    At the end of the 20 years, you may still have kids in high school or college and still need coverage in case of emergency.  You can renegotiate your policy but for a higher monthly payment.  Do you need other insurance too?  Maybe not.  With Wisdom,  you could save or invest and have the amount of insurance you need.  How much insurance do you need for a growing family, reports say that you need about 4 times your yearly income. Shop around and set up a fence around your family.  Your family will be grateful for the peace of mind.

More on dryer sheets!

In addition to the items I listed a few days ago, These dryer sheet uses work also:
Remove pet hair
Place in vacuum bag when using to refresh the air
Remove stale scent in old books.  Place sheets in some pages and place book in ziptop bag for a few days..
Clean car windshield or remove bugs
Discourage deer from eating your trees.  Tie strips onto the branches.
Sounds (and smells) good to me.

Guilty of people watching ...

I'm a firm believer of  having a will.  Many people shy away from them because they think that they are giving permission to die early.  Not so!  Pastor Hilley says that the mortality rate for the human race is 100%.  So a will tells your family and the court who gets what.  Uncle Louie wants Grandma's old chair even though it is rickety and no one can sit on it.  Another wants the keys to your kingdom.  You may want to share things way ahead of time to reduce your "clutter" and be able to give to whomever you please.
(My solution:  if more than one person wants something, have them write their name on a paper and have a drawing.  That would be fair and square.)

There is a big fear of probate.  It only means that the court must legally change the ownership if you haven't designated. Probate costs money (probably the real fear).  Although you may not be able to totally avoid probate it is possible to set up a trust.  A trust also costs money $2000+ so that your property just passes on to those you designate.

The "people watching" part happened the other day.  I was coming out of a building near a bank and saw a parked ambulance.  A closer look showed a person propped up on a hospital bed being rolled into the bank.  I guess he waited a little too long to make some adjustments!

Where did I put the glasses?

We have moved over 40 times and I made a few decisions in setting up a new house.
1.  Put the everyday dishes all around the dishwasher - not across the room.  It is quicker and easier to unload dishwasher when you don't have to run all over the kitchen.

2.  When you first move in and don't have all the boxes unpacked (and it will be a little while before you have time to do it), stack them up in a vacant corner, put a sheet over them and place a vase of flowers on the top.  It looks as presentable as possible and you don't have to look at the clutter.

3.  If you have a mar, chip or crack on your tile floor and it will be a while before you can replace it, match up the color with paint, clean up the place and put a little paint in it.  It won't be so noticeable.  You may have to do this every so often, but it saves you money while you "get it together".

4.  In like manner, if your grout around your toilet is discolored, buy some "Wite Out" and paint it - especially if company's coming.

I know you have found suitable cover ups for problems,  let me know for my benefit too.
