Ministry update
Dear
Friends,
Greetings
from Maine, the land of the 'wanna-be'
winter where temperatures are having a difficult time
deciding the season! Last month it felt like spring.
Who ever heard of hanging out the wash and sporting
shirtsleeves in late December? Call it 'global
warming'
or a premature expression of our annual January thaw,
the balmy weather had (and still has) Mainers shaking
their heads. Thus far as we move into mid-January,
it has been a virtually snow-less winter with
continuing
balmy days. As much as I like gardening, I'm not
ready to hit the ground. Hopefully our 292 garlic
bulbs
will not awaken prematurely. Time will tell!
While
we weather the season, we are happy to report
healthy happenings at The Living Way. With the wood
stove burning bright, we are snuggled into the
kitchen
and are having fun exploring new 'living recipes.' In
addition to our daily fare of nutritious soups and
salads
we are finding new ways to eat our root vegetables
and discovering the wonderful world of 'Super Soups'
filled
with sprouts, seeds, garlic, greens, and more.
Dehydrators are humming and turning out home-made
crackers, 'grain-o-la's', and assorted treats.
Suffice to
say, we dine in great style, enjoying our living
cuisine!
To
encourage you to 'come alive' the living way, plan
to join us for this month's HANDS-ON HEALTH
meeting, 'Energize Your Life' with guest speaker,
Sandy Reynolds. Sandy is a certified
Lymphologist
and is skilled in Theraputic Touch and hands-on
energy
balancing. She will be educating on the hidden world
of energy and what it means for you. Sandy will share
tips on how to recharge your body's electrical
system.
Her presentation promises to be eye-opening as well
as inspirational. Come and learn how you can
revitalize
your life the natural, wholesome way. Learn
more
about our HANDS-ON HEALTH meeting here.
Coming
in February is our annual LIVE FOOD
DINNER. This event is a warm and welcomed
mid-winter adventure into healthy dining and
fellowship.
Plan to join us for this pot-luck extravaganza. Start
planning what to bring by searching our Living Recipes,
surfing on-line or visiting Hallelujah Acres for
recipe ideas
here. Details about our LIVE
FOOD DINNER will be
posted on our website soon.
This month's
feature article, 'The Road to Wellness,'
is the first of a two-part series that
addresses the
all-important issue of personal wellness: where to go
and what to do when sickness strikes. This article is
written as a challenge, if not a wake-up call, for
those
who want real answers to their health problems. It is
no secret that most Americans seek conventional
medical help when facing ill health. However what
does
YHVH say? In the 'The Road to Wellness- Part
1,'
we will explore conventional medicine as the route
most frequented to see if it is a safe, good road.
After examining the facts, we will continue with Part
2
another month to consider the 'alternative' route
called
'YHVH's way.' In the end, we must decide which is
the better road to wellness: man's or YHVH's? If you
are presently facing health challenges, we encourage
you to read this series and consider well your
options.
What you decide could save your life.
Listed further
along are links to selected news articles
that I felt were of particular import. It is no
secret that
we are living in an increasingly dangerous world, the
issues of which deserve utmost attention. We share
information to educate you on matters that count.
Take time to read and digest news items that have a
direct influence on your future. Freedom to pursue
a healthy lifestyle is being threatened. For many,
basic
survival is being challenged. Do what you must to
care
for yourself and your family. Taking healthy action
now
is a wise investment in your future.
Since our
garden is sleeping for the winter season, my
garden log is silent. Nevertheless, this backyard
gardener
has moved indoors to keep at her work. Sprouts are
growing happy in our kitchen! Thanks to our trusty
wood
stove that supplies more than ample heat, my indoor
sprout factory is in full swing. Who needs a
greenhouse?
See some of my latest crops here!
Please note
that due to our LIVE FOOD DINNER and
associated responsibilities, there will be no
newsletter
next month. After this short sabbatical, we will
resume
our healthy reports in March.
In
closing, a new year is upon us that promises to be
challenging at best. It is a good time, therefore, to
access our respective, personal lifestyles with an
eye
toward improvement. If ever there has been a time in
history to be strong and healthy, it is now. Rumors
and
rumblings of war, financial collapse, civil unrest,
weather changes, natural disasters, and political
upheavals are adequate inspiration to keep us on our
toes and on our knees. These are serious days that
demand serious answers, ones that only YHVH can give.
Despite the challenges that face us, a better world
is
coming. The kingdom of YHVH is being established in
the earth, a kingdom without sickness, pain,
heartache,
sorrow or death. Are you ready?
Thus,
as the new year progresses, we encourage you
to take time to seek YHVH. Pray and study His word.
He alone has the answers that we need. He wants to
give us the best: a healthy, happy, prosperous life.
Let us gladly receive it!
Beloved, I wish above all things that
thou
mayest prosper and be in health, even as
thy soul prospereth.- 3 John 1:2

3) Feature
Article: 'The Road
to Wellness- Part 1'
Scientific, medical, and
Biblical research show
that most health problems are caused by nutritional
deficiencies, i.e. poor or wrong diet.
If this is so,
then why do we hire doctors, take pharmaceutical
drugs, and undergo expensive medical treatments
and surgeries instead of improving our diets to
resolve our ills?

Recipe: Creamy Kohlrabi Soup
If you are looking for
a new adventure in eating,
try this raw Kohlrabi soup. Kohlrabi is part of the
brassica family, akin to broccoli. Formally known
as a 'German Turnip,' this fall/winter root vegetable
is loaded with delicious nutrition. Made into a
creamy
soup, it is a winner at our house. See if you don't
agree!
1- 1.5 cup shredded
Kohlrabi
2 stalks celery
generous handful sprouts
handful fresh parsley
2 Tbsp. hemp seed
1-2 large garlic
Good slice of onion
1 tsp. curry powder
1/3- 1/2 cup pureed tomato (or carrot juice)
1-2 cups pure water
Blend ingredients with
sufficient water until
creamy smooth. Garnish with dulse flakes
and/or paprika. For a richer consistency and
taste, use home-made nut milk. This soup is
a good winter meal solution, because it
'sticks to your ribs!'
