Life is Not Linear

Strait forward, cut and dried, black and white. In a box, separate, not connected. We all know instinctively that life is not linear. Each event separate from another. We are impacted by each event and that shapes how we view the next. We have mixed emotions and dynamic responses to each occasion. Stress and trials are no different.

We are multifaceted beings -- Spiritual, mental (both cognitive and subconscious), emotional, physical. To understand how this relates to us in a practical setting lets have a look at an example.

You are out strolling in the summer garden in the cool of the morning. It is full of fragrant flowers in bloom. Purple Lilacs send their soft scent to your nose as they are finishing their display. In that moment you are experiencing a physical sensation of smell and an emotional response of relaxation or joy. Perhaps even a memory of a past encounter here in the garden.

As you step forward you step onto a rose bramble lying on the stony path. The red rose bud is also beautiful and fragrant, but do you notice its rich hue or is the pain from the thorn in your big toe taking priority? Of course the pain is taking priority, and this is a good thing. It is productive to recognize the pain and do something to remove the cause. Would it be good to just ignore the pain, enjoying instead the flowers beautiful aroma, then go into the house and take an aspirin before continuing on with your day? Of course not. But how often do we try to use pain killers so to speak, to just deaden the pain instead of finding the cause in our emotional well being?

Ok, now you've taken the thorn out, washed the wound, and put on shoes. Now, going on with your day is appropriate. It may take self-control to ignore the lingering pain from the open wound, but you know it will heal, by God's grace, because you've done your part in preventing infection and encouraging the healing.

So it is in the spiritual and emotional world. After we have done what we could to forgive, make amends, learn a better way, aid in the healing, we need to let go while the healing process continues. God has promised to do His part. Don't believe Satan's lies that just because you feel an occasional tinge, you have not dealt with it. The devil wants us to linger and mull over the pain or better yet feel guilty because we have not perfect peace with not a single pinch of negative emotion. It is NOT prudent to reopen a wound so you can keep applying ointment.

Let's go back to the garden. A new day has dawned and the birds sing their sweet melodies while you walk the garden path. The garden will bring back various memories and feeling. You remember the joy of the flowers each opening at their appointed times. You remember the lilac, even though they are now finished and as you look at the rose, now in full bloom, you also remember the torn that you stepped on. Thus you are careful to pick up the rose branch and tie it up. But is the thorn now so overwhelming your mind or are you able to appreciate the delicate peals on the rose? I should hope you can ignore the brief thought about the thorn to enjoy the present blessings.

You know, sometimes events happen that cause a tumult of feelings. As we take time to sort out those mixed emotions, let us learn on Christ for wisdom and strength.

Basic Nutrition for the Vegetarian

Introduction

For years people thought what you ate had no bearing on health. Now we now that is a fallacy getting us heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and even cancer. So let’s look at some of the needs of your body in relationship to food.

The basic nutrients are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and micro-nutrients. Each of these groups have subcategories, i.e. carbohydrates which include starch, sugar, and fiber. The foods we eat have some or all of the different groups, i.e. pinto beans have some carbohydrates, lots of protein, and some fat.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for our bodies. Yes, contrary to all the fad diets, we need to eat foods high in carbohydrates. There are refined carbs, such as white sugar and white flour, simple carbohydrates such as apples, and complex carbohydrates such as brown rice. We need both simple and complex carbohydrates, but we do not need refined. Refined carbs usually have the fiber removed, which is hard on blood sugar levels.

We need energy and we need calories, but you know what happens if we eat too many calories? The body stores it as fat, and when too much fat is stored we get overweight. Thus, carbs turn to fat if we eat too much for our activity level.

There are three forms of carbohydrates: sugar, starch, and fiber. We should get about 55 to 70% of our calories from carbohydrates......
