See: Our diets over the years for an update about our current diet.

The river within you (John 7:37-39) comes from My throne. It is like a river within you. It will flow all the time. It doesn’t want to stop. It will flow through you to others. It is designed to produce love and happiness and rest for the surrounding people. And also for yourself.

When something crops up healthwise in my life, and I want to find the most recent, trustworthy, natural and spiritual advice available which could help resolve the issue, where do I go? I don’t just want to Google the condition I have, as that will pull up all sorts of websites, some of which are untrustworthy and some of which are not offering natural solutions. What do I do?

This is the time of the year that we as Christians have set aside to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, some 2000 years ago. It is a wonderful season of the year, filled with love and hope and promise of a new tomorrow because of the provisions Christ has made for us.

I was just interviewed for one hour on the topic of health. You can watch the entire interview FREE right here.

Enjoy and get healthy!

This is what Patricia Cain had to say after taking the “30 Day Challenge” which is part of the HEA102 Take Charge of Your Health course offered at Christian Leadership University.

Research done at the University of Scranton suggests that just 8% of people achieve their New Year's goals. I choose to do something much more effective than a New Year's Resolution.

Patti and I recently tried the ketogenic diet because our staff was on it and losing weight, and having pains in their body disappear. Once we got on it food cravings disappeared which, to me is the biggest benefit of this diet. Also, by doing all the steps listed below, we have been able to lose 1 pound per week for the last 14 weeks (lots of careful eating and fasting to accomplish this). This diet causes a release of ketones in your body. Fasting also causes a release of ketones. Thus the ketogenic diet releases health benefits similar to fasting, and is even called a fasting-mimicking diet. 

Read LUKE 1:1-4 (NEW KING JAMES)

“Come closer to Me.  I see you standing outside, not sure whether to come in. Your focus is on a thousand things at once ‘what must I do first?’ ‘Where should I go first?’ ‘What about this?’ ‘What about that?’ There is free time to visit Me, right now. I am here with you, to spend time with you.”

Read LUKE 1:46-55 (NEW KING JAMES)

“Come, child, sit and read with Me, and hear.  Let Me put some background instrumental Christmas music softly in the background, as we meditate on Mary’s song.”
