Is low-fat always good?

I see people eat low-fat pre-packaged foods on a regular basis. Interestingly, they are not losing any weight. They actually become more ill. The real problem is they are sedentary, and they want magic weight loss food that they can open without effort, and warm or eat instantly.

Here is the skinny on low-fat diets. Health education is the way to go. Be informed.

Well, I haven’t touched on the topic of art in a while. Today, I stumbled across two really cool artistic guitars.

A Fender Strat that is hand-carved, and right below it, a Gibson Les Paul that looks to be tiled with some mother of pearl and abalone.

What a way to look great while jamming.

So here is a spy drone that is the size of a mosquito. This drone can be remotely controlled for eavesdropping, and is equipped with a camera, and microphone. There is rumor that it’s bite can even take a sample of your DNA or implant an RFID tracking device using nanotechnology. Whatever the case, technology is moving right along at a speedy pace. I wonder if OFF repellent works against this thing. Laughs!

Some days my inspiration for Haiku’s comes from staring at the things on my desk.

I have been so excited by experimenting with Asian cooking lately. It is quite fun! There is so much variety. Tonight, I cooked some Chinese Long Beans and made a Banana Flower Salad. The dumplings were pre-made and steamed by me.

I cooked some Chinese Broccoli last week with a sauce blend of oyster, hoisin, and soy sauce. This worked so well, that I decided to use it for the Chinese Long Beans.

For the Banana Flower Salad, I used the following recipe minus the chicken.

A Banana Flower is the flower from the banana tree. I was amazed at how many baby bananas are inside a flower. There must have been 80 to 100 of them. I tried the banana flower raw before preparation, and my tongue and mouthed sucked tight like a deflated balloon. The banana flower must have the vinaigrette!!! The vinegar and sugar work magic.

Bon Appetite!

 

What is the chance of a man fulfilling eight verifiable prophecies over his lifetime? Ten to the seventeenth power. If one were to cover the State Of Texas with that many silver dollars, it would be two feet deep in silver dollars all across Texas. Now what if they said,”There is a cross somewhere on one of those coins. Your chances of being blindfolded, and finding that silver dollar is the same odds. So what does this all mean?

There are eight verifiable prophecies that cannot be refuted by science, nor man, regarding Jesus’s life. The chances of all these prophecies happening to one man are ten to the seventeenth power. Amazing stuff!

1. His place of birth

2. Time of his birth

3. Manner of birth

4. The Betrayal

5. Manner of Death

6. People’s reactions

7. His piercing

8. His burial

Jesus is our good news. He is the news we all need that can brighten our lives and hearts. He can turn all the suffering that man has created around. A Jew might argue that nobody has ever sat on the throne, because of a curse in the lineage of Abraham, but Jesus was made clean when he was born of a virgin mother Mary. Irrefutable evidence!

Now some might say that Christians are the cause of all the World’s problems. I challenge you to hang with a church, or group of active Christians for six months. and see if you come to that conclusion on your own. I’ll bet God calls you home to be his warrior for change.

If a man knew that apricots cured all cancer, how would you feel if he kept it a secret from mankind? I would say most, if not all, would hate him.

So as a Christian, no I am not perfect by any means, I state that Jesus cures, heals, and forgives everyone who turns to him. He turns the light on in your life even during the darkest of struggles.

If we can share that message with everyone, the World will be a better place.
