DAVID SHARING WHAT HE LEARNED AS A SHEPHERD ABOUT GOD'S WATCH CARE OVER EACH PERSON IN HIS FLOCK.
You are my caretaker. I do not have to worry about my physical needs (Matthew 6:25-34).
You place me in environments where I can grow better (Philippians 4:19/Acts 17:26)
You show me how to obtain peace of mind (Philippians 4;6,7/Mark 6:31)
You revive my spirit (Psalm 51:12)
You show me how to live right in this world (Proverbs 3:6); so that You get the glory (1 Peter 2:9-13)
If I end up in dangerous situations, I will not be be afraid, because I know that Your presence is there (Psalm 91:9-13/Deuteronomy 31:6,8)
You uplift me with your right hand and send the Holy Spirit to be my Comforter(John 14:16)
You cause me to be invited to events with those that hate me and there provide for the nourishment of my body (Psalm 103:5)
You Baptise me with Your Spirit (Matthew 3:11)
I have so many blessings, that I have to share with others (Malachi 3:10)
I am certain that joy and forgiveness You will give to me as long as I abide with You (Psalm 16:11/1 John 1:9)
And by your grace, I will work in Your vineyard (Psalm 84:10/ Philippians 2: 12,13) and my name will not be blotted out of the book of life (Revelation 3:5)
Amen

IN THE FACE OF SEVERE ILLNESS
How can we remain hopeful in light of no known cure?
We know without a shadow of a doubt that God could heal Coby instantly if He chose to do so. We do not doubt God's ability to cure her nor will we question His choice should He choose not to.
We have come to learn that in this school of hard knocks called life that we will not always understand why certain things happen to us. If we have not brought the calamity upon ourselves by our disregard of moral or natural laws, then we must conclude that God has the big picture in mind and is using the trial for the good of it's recipient and/or for the onlooking world.
While we have this perspective and trust God implicitly, it does not take away the heart ache and pain.--Christian Berdahl, The Shepherd's Call News, Vol. 9, Issue 1. (2010).

LIFE IS A BUFFET
LIFE IS A BUFFET; CHOOSE WISELY
This thought came to mind this morning as I lay in bed, unable to go back to sleep. A situation occurred yesterday with the children when I was eating something and they asked for some. My intention was not to give them any (a parent must be able to enjoy some things by themselves). Their request pricked my conscience and I decided to "share." Then after giving them each a bite, I proceeded to finish it and they asked for some more. Of course I became irritated and regretted giving them any in the first place.
As I lay in bed this morning, the situation came back to my mind and the realization that my lack of self-denial has influenced the children. I feel that I must have everything my heart desires, regardless of whether it's beneficial or healthful or not.
We were at a church potluck and each side of the table had various visually appetizing selections of the same kinds of food (starch, vegetable, meat substitute and salad). My children wanted to try everything from both sides as we've grown accustomed to doing. I was impressed in that moment, that this was not a healthful practice, so I instructed them accordingly. Of course when they went back for seconds with my permission, they ended up at the other side of the table to "sample" the other foods before I realized what they were doing. My conscience was dull to what just happened--until now.
My epiphany: life is a buffet. It has many opportunities and offerings, some good and some evil or put like Paul, "not expedient"; some have immediate outcomes while others have eternal consequences. We shouldn't have it all. We should choose wisely. We should choose only those things that are beneficial and healthful for us as the Lord directs us. In so doing, we model and teach our children also, that they should not have everything that they want.
This lesson, if learned early, will save us, and them, from many hurtful situations and will secure us a place among the faithful, for self-denial is a key ingredient in the gospel of salvation.
Jesus said, "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me." (Luke 9:23)
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God [thought equality with God as something to be grasped]*: but made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." (Philippians 2:5-8)

ORPAH'S WARNING GOES UNHEEDED
A few years ago, Oprah exposed the dangers of beef and the mad-cow disease it was tainted with. As powerful as Oprah was at that time and still is, there were people more powerful than she, who forced her to stop her claims. Thanks be to God that the God of Heaven is more powerful than those people. It is with that assurance that boldness is given to share this information.
In addition to the population, the size of our citizens have increased exponentially. I'm sure that you have noticed that relatives, friends, neighbors, and maybe even you, have ballooned in the past couple of years. Your diet hasn't changed much, but your body seems to have taken on a mind of its own.
The information out there is overwhelming and the source list is so extensive that I won't even bother to share them. Besides, I'm sure that you already know what I am about to share. Everyone knows it. Knowledge is not the problem! The daily choices we make, that's the root of the issue!
In modern society, there was a time when only those who could afford meat, ate meat. Now, even African, Asian and other plant food rich cultures have adopted a meat based diet, and as a result are dying from the diseases that were only seen in other parts of the world.
The consumption of beef, pork, chicken and fish has become the staple in people's diets because of overwhelming and well-placed advertising that shapes social thinking. Whole grains, fruits and vegetables have been given low priority and the digestive system and our mental aquity has paid the price.
This could be a really lengthy discourse on the dangers of eating meat, heart disease, high cholesterol notwithstanding. Religious and secular authorities will echo the same sentiment, but most of society seems to have stopped up their ears and turned a blind eye to the problem.
It's a little bigger than meat my friends. It's about preparing for heaven. If that's not your goal, then this just won't make much sense to you (a prayer was offered on your behalf). If heaven is your goal, then you must realize that diet or appetite is a very overlooked component in our spiritual walk.
Eve fell on the point of appetite, not to mention that she broke a few commandments in the process (#1, #8 & #10). Jesus was first tempted by the Devil in the wilderness on the point of appetite. Esau gave up his birthright for a bowl of lentils. The children of Israel craved the depraved diet of Egypt that they begged for meat and when they received it, gorged until it came out of their noses. Lastly, Paul warned against those "whose God is their belly."
This matter of appetite is nothing to be taken lightly. "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile (destroys) the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." (1 Corinthians 3:16,17)
"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31)

DAIRY-FREE DELIGHTS
SUNFLOWER DIP
Ingredients
1 cup raw sunflower seeds, rinsed well
1 cup water (more if needed)
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp McKays Vegan Chicken-style seasoning
1 quarter onion (and /or onion powder)
1 clove garlic (and/or garlic powder)
Method
Blend all ingredients in the blender until nice and creamy (add more water if needed). Serve with homemade fries, corn chips or as a dip for crisp vegetables.
This recipe is a spin off Chris Rucker's recipe in The Seventh-Day Diet, based on what I had in my kitchen at the time.
ROASTED BROCCOLI
Ingredients
Fresh broccoli florets, rinsed and drained
Olive oil
1 tsp seasoning of choice (optional)
Method
Lightly drizzle florets with olive oil. Mix well. Sprinkle seasoning on it (this is not necessary, because the broccoli will spring it’s own sweetness). Roast in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Broccoli will be between crisp and delicious.
Tip: If you try it and don’t like it that way, just leave it in the oven for 5 minutes more. It won’t affect the taste, just the tenderness.

BREAKFAST IDEAS
OH OATMEAL!
Ingredients
4 cups water
2 cups rolled oats
12 whole cloves
12 dates chopped
1 cup organic apple juice
Grade B Maple syrup
Sliced bananas
Method
Chop and soak dates in the apple juice (preferably overnight, if you can). Bring water, with cloves added, to a boil. Add oats and cook to desired consistency. Stir in date mixture and serve warm with maple syrup and bananas. *Because the oatmeal is not cooked with sugar it will appeal to those who don’t like it too sweet and those who do can add the maple syrup to suit their taste.
Serves 8
Money saving tip: Trader Joes has Grade B maple syrup for $11.99 and Whole Foods sells it for $16.99. A little goes a long way.
APPLE WALNUT CRUNCH
Ingredients
1 cup walnuts
1 cup 100% fruit juice (water may also be used if you want to control your caloric intake)
1 cup soft white wheat berries
1 cup hard wheat berries (may use unhulled or pearl barley instead)
4 cups water
1 cup raisins
2 tbsp honey
2 apples, grated or chopped (do just before serving)
Method
Soak the walnuts overnight in 1 cup water or fruit juice of your choice. Wash grains and put in prepared* Crockpot. Add 4 cups water and cook on low overnight. In the morning, finely grind the walnuts and the soak liquid, then add to the finished grains. Stir in the raisins, honey and apples and serve as is, or with a tasty rice milk or homemade cashew or almond milk if you like your hot cereal swimming.
Note:*spray the inside of the Crockpot with non-stick spray or rub with a little olive oil to prevent the grains from sticking to the side; it also makes cleanup easy.
RAINBOW BREAKFAST POTATOES
Ingredients
12 small red-skinned potatoes
½ red, yellow and green peppers
¼ red onion
¼ sweet onion
Seasoning to taste (salt, rosemary, chicken-style seasoning)
½ tsp turmeric (for color)
Water as needed
Method
Thoroughly wash and cut potatoes in ½ inch chunks. Saute onions, garlic and peppers in a little water, coconut oil or good quality olive oil for a few minutes. Add potatoes and stir, let simmer for a few minutes. Add water a little a time so that the potatoes don’t stick to the pan. Repeat until the potatoes are tender.
Note: This dish also tastes good cold.

CIRCULATED EMAIL CONCERNING CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS
The validity of the source of this email is still in question. The facts as they relate to various matters of health are not. As with all information, search out truth for yourself, you'll be sure to find it.
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3.. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's Aminos or sea salt.
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14.. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
