 By Norma A. Boeckle

KJV James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

Prayer and Faith Are United

KJV John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. 30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.

Ichabodians Switching to Healthy Meals, Good Nutrition, Lower Weight

 I posed in many calendars to promote donuts.

 My doctor agreed that ice cream is a great tranquilizer. 

I used to be a fanatic, against healthy eating. I could eat a huge bowl of popcorn and register 100 on a blood test.

Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat To Live, argues that good nutrition solves a lot of problems and always leads to weight loss. My local doctor was overwhelmed that I lost 30 pounds and also had great results on the blood test, A1C, meaning I averaged a good blood sugar for 90 days, slightly above normal. My previous A1C was a 90 day average of 160 blood sugar. The sad reality of the A1C is that cheating shows up from averaging.

 Everyone was posing for the photo, but I was working on my mother's DQ cone.

 A Moliner put this together. I would never run and eat a donut. No, I would stop and eat a few.

At the age of four, I was shackled to the workbench to create donuts. 

Five Ichabodians are following the Fuhrman plan, which is a dramatic change in eating, not a fad diet plan (Scarsborough, Keto, Mediterranean, etc). The change of habit means making the unhealthy foods rare - and the beans, greens, fruit, and nuts dominant.

Too much of too many foods will boost blood sugar, store fat, and add weight. Here are some staggering facts:

Fat goes right to fat deposits on the body. Some fat is good and healthy, but the fatty foods add too much because we consume them over-munchly as healthy foods. The subversive fat foods are eggs, milk, cheese, meat, and fish.

The sugar category means sugar going right into the system, plus many forms of sweetener and "diabetic" sugar, which acts very much like sugar. Starbucks made its name by cooking bad coffee and putting oil (fake creamer) and sugar in it, plus some milk for more fat: mellow, instant jolt, addicting too.

 My first birthday was a riot of sweets plus cake and ice cream.

Paul Newman fans - his kiddy orange drink's first ingredient (meaning the most amount in that concoction) - is high fructose corn syrup, which changes easily to sugar and onward to diabetic fatness. Many foods do that because we like sugary salty fatty and fattening things, like Kettle Corn, which should be listed with opiods.

The Source of the Cure - God's Creation

God has scattered concentrated nutrition among many different delicious foods. Because we get tired of the same few items, God's plan makes us dabble with various forms of vitamins, minerals, fibers, even cholesterol that removes bad cholesterol from the body. No! Yes! Walnuts on ice cream gave me a perfect cholesterol score, but way too much ice cream. 

Chickpeas aka Garbanzo beans - they taste great, blend with other vegetables, and continue complete protein with many other bonus ingredients.

Fiber in food slows down digestion. That is why fiber-free donuts - with their delicious combination of fat, sugar, eggs, salt, wheat flour topped with glazing or icing or even better filled with custard - stop hunger for only 30 minutes, if that. 

What the Dairy Council, Dairy Queen, and the chicken industry failed to teach us was the lack of nutrition (calm down) in the major foods - dairy, meats, eggs - and the super-abundance of nutrition in greens, beans, fruit, and nuts. And the really good foods are much cheaper, quite easy to prepare and store.

If people dial down the most fattening foods, they will have more appetite and satisfaction with healthy foods. 

Sassy Sue and I Have Good Test Results

 

Sassy had her exam after mine. She is fine and has her shots.

How well has Eat To Live changed my horrible habits into good ones?

I lost 30 pounds and my high blood sugar (A1C) changed to normal. My blood pressure dropped at the same time, so I did not need bp medicine. Cholesterol and the other tests were great. Walnuts eliminated my bad cholesterol, but I had to cease and desist combining them with ice cream. 

I stopped almost all desserts and candy, except about one dessert a month, no ice cream.

I stopped eggs, cheese, and high salt foods for the most part. McDonalds is a Sassy favorite, but I have no fries and no drinks.

I stopped "diet" cola, because of the excessive caffeine and salt. Fake sugar is as bad as the real thing, so no excuses were left in drinking 48 ounces of it each day.

 This was Christina's post-surgery walk.

The Six Days Of Creation, The Fall, And The Deluge by J B Reimensnyder “This weightiest chapter ever penned by Inspiration yields up its lessons best when literally understood, and when explained by the laws of common sense. “The secret of recent assaults upon the Bible is the restiveness of the modern spirit… so eager is the desire for anything new, that even the destruction of all that is precious and venerable is hailed on account of the morbid excitement thereby aroused. …these extremists are so irrational in their hate of the old that they would rather that the edifice of Revelation should be crumbled to the earth, and that the immortal hopes of mankind should be reduced to wreck, than that they should be immutably fixed upon the pillar and ground of the past.” — J.

First published in 1728, it was at once received with great favor. As new editions were demanded, the original dimensions of the work were increased by the addition of other prayers, until finally, in the edition of 1776, edited by the son of J. F.

Its aim will be the exposition and defense of the doctrines of the Church as confessed in the Book of Concord. Theology in all its departments is embraced within its scope, though for the present special attention will be given to the controverted subject of predestination.” Matthias Loy (1828-1915) was a giant of American Lutheranism. He served as president of the ... Read more Christian Dogmatics by J. N. Kildahl “This book possesses distinction as one of very few systematic theologies written from the viewpoint of Scandinavian-American Lutheran pietism, a movement which combined the Norwegian/Haugean and the Swedish/Rosenian traditions. It has been observed that, in general, the four major earmarks of pietism are experiential Christianity, Biblical focus, holy living, and opposition to formalism. “Pietism held an important place among Scandinavian-Americans during portions of the 19th ...

Therefore the Christian life ... Read more Sweet First Fruits: A Tale To Muslims On The Truth And Virtue Of The Christian Religion by Sir William Muir “Sweet First Fruits is a… story primarily designed to give scope and opportunity for presenting to the Muslim reader the proofs of the Christian faith, the purity and genuineness of our Bible, its attestation by the Koran, and the consequent obligation on Muslims to obey its precepts. The argument is developed, in the dialectic style, between a party of Christian converts and their former companions. The Muslim world has never, since the rise of Islam, had an appeal made to it under ...
