Food Renegade is giving away a great nutrition course

If you are like me and are trying to unlearn everything you've been indoctrinated to believe concerning health and nutrition, you might be just as confused as I am from time to time. I'm really excited about a nutrition course created by the Food Renegade. This 10-week course will cover the following topics:

* The major macro-nutrients (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates) & how your body uses them.
* The micro-nutrients like vitamins, minerals, enzymes, & their affect on health.
* The nutrient density of Real Food
* Industrial vs. Pasture-based animal husbandry
* Industrial vs. Organic agriculture
* The basics of Real Health

Very cool giveaway!

Years ago, when I still lived in Pittsburgh, I attended a Bible study at the home of another couple in our church. I loved their home. It was very comfortable and welcoming. One of the things I loved the most was the scripture a friend of their had painted on the wall of their livingroom. It was the first thing guests saw when they entered the house and left no question about what they believed. Kind of reminiscent of Deuteronomy 6:6-9: These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.


My online friend Tonya has made it easy for us to write words on our walls that share our convictions with those who enter our homes. Her work is beautiful. http://www.fruitfulvinecreations.com/blog/2008/08/august-sale-of-month.html
