“Tongue control? It will never be achieved unless there is first of all heart and mind control. When any Christian comes to the point of yielding to the Lord in full sincerity, cost what it may control of his thought life, the problem of managing his tongue will be solved, provided that such a surrender goes deeper than the intellect and reaches the emotions and will. For the Bible makes a distinction between mere intellectual knowledge of God and the trust of the heart.”
Frank E. Gaebelein, The Practical Epistle of James: Studies in Applied Christianity (Great Neck, N.Y.: Channel Press, 1955), 80-81.

That’s right. My wonderful wife Jenn made some Indian style Vegatble Curry
from a recipe found in a Southern Style magazine. Last time I was in the
South, people thought I was talking about Native American Indians when I
mentioned Indians. This wasn’t flatbread and we didn’t smoke a peace pipe
afterwards. It was some good home cooked Indian food for the first time in
the Lombardi House.
If you want the recipe, let us know. It was low fat, easy to make and
didn’t require any strange vegetables. Just some strange spices. And black
plastic spoon a little green.

An initiative is likely to go before voters, taxing the affluent so that all kids can get a chance to go to preschool. With companies outsourcing and jobs going overseas, our students are going to compete in a world market against very aggressive foreign students. It’s even more important that every child has a good start in preschool. I say vote yes when this comes before voters.

I just started reading a book called Fit Kids. It has a wealth of good information and advice on choosing the right foods for your kids. Fortunately, the correct food choices for kids are also good for adults! This is actually very motivating for me because I’m actually more motivated to make good food choices for my son Matthew than I am for myself. But the ironic thing is, I’m actually the one who needs the better food choices now. (I’m on Vytorin to help lower my cholesterol).
Anyways, it mentions that sugar and salty foods actually have a stimulating effect on our appetite and trick our body into wanting more. No kidding! 
Recommendations: Eat “Real Foods”. The book points for us to eat real fruit, vegetables and whole grain foods. The fiber in real foods helps us have a healthy appetite. Our bodies will recognize that it’s satisfied.
There’s more and more good information in this book. I recommend it to anyone. I’ll post more helpful information as we read more. Please add any of your tidbits of healthy wisdom.

Family and friends, the forums have been open for some time now. Please join in. We are having fun, passionately talking about various subjects, sharing about our lives and doing prayer requests all at the same time. There were some issues with logging in and sometimes your message would disappear if you took a while to type it, but I think most of those issues should be resolved by now. Let me know if you have any troubles posting in the forum. I’ll be more than glad to help.
TIP: If you hate searching through the forums trying to find the new messages, when you enter the forum, look at the top of the forum page, just under the search box. There’s a link titled “View New Posts”. It will show you all the new posts that you have yet to read. Cool, right! I didn’t even know it was there until after the umpteenth time of manually browsing through the forums to find the new posts. It actually works!

I received an urgent prayer request from my Indian friend. In the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, there are more than 60 new believers that will be burned alive if they do not convert to Hinduism. Please read the entire letter from a pastor pleading for our prayers and also visit our forum. Let us know that you are praying for them.
