Days 303 - 306 Enjoy the colors!

The more colorful the plate, the healthier it is likely to be - as long as the colors are natural :)

I know I am loving the variety of colors from this time of year - yellow and green and red tomatoes - squash, pumpkin and sweet potatoes of every golden hue... both gold and red beets - just loving the roasted beets (cut in half sprinkle with olive oil and salt and roast in oven about 40 minutes until tender).

The first two pictures are from Charcoal Grill in Burlington - some of the best Tilapia I've ever had - perfectly done, moist and delicious. And they have Sweet Potato fries!

Third pic - Rice noodles, Yellow Tomato Sauce, Broccoli and Italian Sausage - We loved the low acid marinara.

Then check out the pink soup! Love, love, love it.

It is Simple Soup - Chicken broth with matchstick carrots and onions cooked in it. Add some cubed (roasted) beets for a delicious pink soup. You can add leftover meat of choice (I happened to have some scallops)

Thought for the day: 3John 2 - Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well. -

To Fly Again – by Gracia Burnham with Dean Merrill

During their ordeal as hostages of the Abu Sayyaf from May 2001 to June 2002, Martin and Gracia Burnham lived a life of dual captivity. They were kidnapped bodily and held hostage by a terrorist group; yet God’s grace also held them captive and brought times of comfort, uplift, protection and guidance. The story of their captivity, Gracia’s rescue and Martin’s death were told in the best selling book In the Presence of My Enemies.

Since returning home to raise her three children Gracia has become a popular speaker - sharing her reflections on the many crises she and Martin experienced as well as gems she has gleaned in her present life as a widowed woman of faith. Both are shared in To Fly Again.

One of the quotes on the book’s cover says it well “ Gracia Burnham offers no pat answers to the problem of pain, just incredible insights into the heart of a God who never turns a deaf ear to our cries for help and never wastes our experiences.”

Written in a captivating manner, Gracia and Dean have combined a gift of storytelling with the authenticity of real-life experience. Gracia has the wounds, but is more interested in sharing the steps of her own healing and to help others ‘to fly again” despite the tragic circumstances of many of her reader’s lives.

Each chapter reads like letters from a sister, each one carrying deep truths, and wrapped in the love that is only grown from one who has experienced heartbreak. Both men and women have said they found the easy readability, profound truths and amazing experiences made it difficult to put the book down.

From flashbacks, to admitting weaknesses, she shares of finding God’s power to apply scriptures in a personal way, and allowing God to help her (and her readers) rise above circumstances. Gracia humbly dispels the image of a super-human missionary, and yet takes you on a personal journey of inspiration, service, victory and hope. As she was challenged and changed, you also will find new wings to fly again.
