Looking At Grains in A New Way

Can you imagine making salads with grains, loving the flavor and healthy for you?

Chef Brad tells us there are 8 Super Grains, that are gluten-free

Time just stands still in his classes.

Chef Brad from his website.

Chef Brad did a demonstration of a savory salad and fruity salad. It was so flavorful you would not have believed it had grains in it. I can hardly wait to introduce some of his recipes at a family feast.

This week I attended two classes a day with Chef Brad teaching about grains and how to implement them into a daily diet. Grains are an incredible addition to eating healthy. Wheat flour is not for every one. I had no idea there are so many alternatives!

I have always liked wheat sprouts, and wheat grass, but all the other choice give variety to a new way of eating. Tana and I went last year to Chef Brad's classes. We learned so much. This year he has switched to working for Bosch and has a ball working their company. He has a website: chefbrad.com

He has been teaching at the Orem store and suggested using a pressure cooker that looks like a very large crock pot. It is amazing and one can cook meals in just 12 minutes! Saves time and the food is delicious. It has been a very enjoyable experience seeing and tasting the new recipes. Grains are an important addition and some that I will introduce to my diet for sure.

Power to Act in God's Name

I believe and know very strongly that, " A man, young or old never stands taller than when he is doing his priesthood duties or responsibilities. Be it station as a Deacon, Teacher, Priest, Elder, High Priest, Home teacher, priesthood holder husband, father, son or grandfather, Bishop, or Prophet of God. He has a mantle about him that emanates and gives him the authority to act in God's name, and uses it in righteousness. It is a blessing to him and his family. To this I know that he raises the bar in doing his duty to God and his fellow man.”

" I stand in awe of the goodness that pervades within that soul who honors and lives up to his priesthood calling with a pure heart. It is evident to me and cannot be hidden. I believe that quality shines in their countenances and His image is radiated in their face's.

Touch of The Master's Hand

And the auctioneer thought it
hardly worth his while
To waste his time on the old violin,
but he held it up with a smile.

"What am I bid, good people", he cried,
" It was battered and scarred,
Who starts the bidding for me?"
"One dollar, one dollar, Do I hear two?"
"Two dollars, who makes it three?"
"Three dollars once, three dollars twice, going for three,"

But, No,
From the room far back a gray bearded man
Came forward and picked up the bow,
Then wiping the dust from the old violin
And tightening up the strings,
He played a melody, pure and sweet
As sweet as the angel sings.

The music ceased and the auctioneer
With a voice that was quiet and low,
Said "What now am I bid for this old violin?"
As he held it aloft with its' bow.

"One thousand, one thousand, Do I hear two?"
"Two thousand, Who makes it three?"
"Three thousand once, three thousand twice,
Going and gone", said he.

The audience cheered,
But some of them cried,
"We just don't understand."
"What changed its' worth?"
Swift came the reply.
"The Touch of the Masters Hand."

And many a man with life out of tune
All battered with bourbon and gin
Is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd
Much like that old violin

A mess of pottage, a glass of wine,
A game and he travels on.
He is going once, he is going twice,
He is going and almost gone.

But the Master comes,
And the foolish crowd never can quite understand,
The worth of a soul and the change that is wrought
By the Touch of the Masters' Hand.
