Cheese Curls
When I got married, I tried so hard to shop for the groceries my husband enjoys. But there was one particular item that I didn't get right until twenty years into my marriage. Russ likes the puffed cheese curls, but I have an aversion for them. When I was a kid I had the mumps, and that was one food I tried to eat that really made me sick. So I never ate them again. And I never bought them for Russ because I felt it was wasteful to purchase something only one of us would enjoy. Instead I purchased chips we both liked. Over the years, there have been a few times I have tried the crunchy cheese curls at sandwich shops, and I liked them! Not Russ—he hated them. So our dilemma continued. Now this line of reasoning just doesn't make sense. I buy coffee for Russ when I don't drink it. This last week, we were shopping together and noticed that these cheese curls were on sale two for one, and we could each get the kind we enjoy the most. We feel so spoiled this week to have our own bag of chips! Now why did this take so long to realize?!

I’m not much of a chef, although I have done some cooking. When I prepare meals on a regular basis I’m pretty good at it, but the task isn’t one I enjoy. I’m more of a fix-a-sandwich or throw-it-in-the-crock-pot kind of girl. Crock pot meals can be healthy and the convenience meets the demands of a busy schedule. When I place food in the ceramic pot, knowing in a few hours a mouth-watering meal will be served it reminds me of developing faith in God.

If you have ever struggled with weight or with a health issue like high cholesterol or diabetes, you have most likely been on a diet. My experience is that, overall, diets don’t work, especially the long-term diet. During your diet you feel confined and restricted. You feel as if there is no hope for appetite satisfaction, ever again. Failure after failure gives you the feeling that losing weight is impossible. Take heart, my friends, there is a solution.

As one who has worked in jail/prison ministry for many years, including interviewing such notorious criminals as Charles "Tex" Watson of the Manson Family and serving as editor for the personal memoirs of David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz (both now dedicated Christians), I am concerned at the controversy over the fate of those who become believers after being convicted of a serious crime.

My husband and I recently placed a For Sale sign in our front yard. We’ve spiffed up the yard by planting flowers and mulching the flower beds. We’ve touched up paint, replaced flooring, and switched out light fixtures. We are sprucing up the place. It’s been our experience homes sell more quickly if they are staged, so we light a candle, set the table, play some music, and do our best to appeal to all five senses when perspective buyers enter our home. We have something valuable that we want others to appreciate and be interested in.
