But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.

Titus 3:4-7 KJV

Therefore, my brothers, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.

• Sun 28 Jun 2009 - sad news here........
I had a tragedy today. I found 4 of my bunnies dead. Two were breeding rabbits and two were pets. I also lost a buck earlier this week. That makes 5 rabbits.
On top of that I lost a one of my Barred rock hens. It has been hot, but no hotter than is usual for here.
I also have a question about Passion Vine. One has grown up into the rabbit barn this year. Could this have poisoned them if they chewed it?

Honey Grilled Chicken
This chicken is excellent. It is very juicy and has great flavor.
Just be sure to not over cook or it will dry out.
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Preheat a grill for medium heat. Melt butter in a skillet over medium
heat. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in
honey and lemon juice. Reserve half for basting, and brush the other half
onto the chicken breasts. Lightly oil the grill grate, and place chicken on
the grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning frequently. Baste often
during the last 5 minutes. Chicken is done when the meat is firm, and juices
run clear.

• Sat 27 Jun 2009 - 5 WAYS TO BLUNT BLOOD SUGAR
5 WAYS TO BLUNT BLOOD SUGAR
These strategies can lower the overall effect of a meal on your blood sugar.
1. ADD BEANS. Only have time to make instant rice? Just add some beans. Throwing in a low-glycemic-index food brings down the GI rating of the entire meal.
2. DEPLOY GOOD FAT. Bagels for breakfast? Slather with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Fat slows absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
3. GRAB A CHEESE STICK OR PRECOOKED CHICKEN STRIPS. For less than 100 calories, a stick of string cheese or a few pieces of chicken can transform a potentially blood sugar-raising snack (such as crackers or a piece of toast) into an oasis of satisfaction that will last for hours. Like fat, protein slows digestion and absorption of sugars.
4. HAVE A SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE. Start lunch or dinner with any vinaigrette-dressed veggie medley--field greens; chilled green beans; even a half cup of steamed, cooled, red Bliss potatoes. Arizona State University nutritionists discovered that vinegar prevented blood sugar spikes after eating. They suspect that acetic acid (the compound that makes vinegar so, so sour) interferes with enzymes that break down carbs. Just 2 teaspoons per meal could help tame glucose.
5. SPRINKLE ON SOME CINNAMON. Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon each day--dust a little on your morning toast, add a bit to your afternoon skim latte or your dinnertime sweet potato--improves your body's ability to obey insulin and take up glucose, report researchers at the USDA's Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland. Cinnamon contains a compound called methylhydroxy chalcone polymer that makes cells absorb glucose faster and convert it more easily into energy--so your blood sugar stays lower.

• Sun 21 Jun 2009 - Romans 12 ..Word to live by
Romans 12
King James Bible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;
12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality.
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
