This is a healthy, time-saving tip–have tasty protein-packed salads on-hand in the fridge. When the family decends at the end of the day and everyone is “hangry,” this is a delicious and quick help in the summer when you don’t want to cook. My three favorite go-to salads are this curried-chicken salad below, tuna salad,…

The Blurred Lines of Gender Identity
EVER-INCREASING LIGHT Messianic Daily Devotionals “Woe to those who quarrel with their Maker, those who are nothing but potsherds among the potsherds on the ground.

Winter’s Bars
Ever-Increasing Light A Messianic Daily Devotional “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” Jeremiah 29:11 NAS.
