PraiseMoves - A Christian Alternative to Yoga


Being both spiritually fit and physically fit are two goals of mine.

Although I prefer lifting weights to lifting my head in a yoga pose, a friend of mine suggested I check out PraiseMoves, a Christian alternative to yoga.

PraiseMoves retooled the 5,000-year-old practice of yoga to fit Christ's teachings and combines scripture with deep stretching and gentle movement.

PraiseMoves claims to provide all the physical benefits of yoga including improved flexibility, weight loss, reduced stress, and improved circulation, while spiritually moving Christians to praise the Lord.

You can read testimonies, watch a demonstration, learn about becoming an instructor and order videos at their website

God's Pharmacy - Fruits and Veggies

The following post arrived in my email inbox. I’m not sure if it’s entirely factual but I thought it interesting to consider anyways.

God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God's Pharmacy! Amazing!

A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye... And YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.

A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.

Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart.Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.

A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.


Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.


Avocadoes, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).


Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.


Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.


Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.

Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.

Onions look like the body's cells. Today's research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears, which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.


Have fun grocery shopping this week!

Looney Spoons and Crazy Plates


As my husband, children and friends can attest, I am no culinary wizard. Nor do I like to spend time (any time!) in the kitchen. So you can imagine my surprise to be interested in reading and even buying a recipe book.

I was intrigued by the name “LooneySpoons” and the cover photo. But I was sold on the content.

Before I tried any of the recipes, I read the book, cover to cover. And loved it! It was fun, inspirational and educational. Finally, a book that has the ingredients I actually have in my kitchen! And the recipes are low-fat and easy to follow.
When Crazy Plates came out, I just had to have it!
And I know that they have a new one out, “Eat, Shrink and Be Merry.” If it’s anything like the first two, I’ll have to add it to my growing shelf of recipe books. I highly recommend you do the same!
