BIBLE TRIVIA
Fasts and Breaking of Fasts
1. What did Jesus eat after His resurrection to prove He was not a
mere phantom?
2. Who fasted for forty days on Mount Sinai?
3. Who had a Passover meal with his followers in the upper room?
4. Who received meals at the hands of birds?
5. What meat was eaten at the Passover meal?
Prayer as I reflect on all the people
you place in my life today.
I think about my family, my relatives, the
neighbors, people with whom we will spend
this day. Dear Jesus, as I look at their faces
and remember their stories, there are feel-
ings of gratitude and some fear and anxiety.
Thank you for these loved ones and please
forgive me for the ways I have been less than
accepting and loving. Please heal the wounds,
division and conflicts that stand between us
and help me to remember how dearly you love
them. I only want to remember that you have
come to save us all.
Amen.
NUTS FOR DIABETES
What happened when a group of type 2 diabetics traded their usual carbs
(as in muffins) for two ounces of unsalted raw nuts every day? They controlled their
blood glucose and lipid levels without gaining weight, according to a St. Michael's Hospital/University of Toronto study.
But before you scoop up those almonds, take note: Although the unsaturated fats found in nuts are indeed healthy, nuts
still pack a lot of calories--which is why they should be consumed by the handful, not by the bucketful, as part of a
balanced diet. The CDC estimates that nearly 26 million Americans have the disease,
7 million of whom have never been diagnosed. Get tested today.
Instructions
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the beef, vegetables,
soup mix and seasonings. Seal bag; shake to coat evenly. Transfer
to a Dutch oven or 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking
spray (pan will be very full). Pour water over beef mixture. Cover
and bake at 325� for 90 minutes. Stir in tomatoes. Bake, uncovered,
for 30-40 minutes, or until beef and vegetables are tender, stirring
after 25 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.
