Hi.
Why do I qualify for some of your time?
If what I write is truth, and if it helps your situation, then I qualify.
I have personally know many fatherless people.
I know some of your secrets,
some of your wounds
and some of your hopes.
And I'll tell you things you might not admit to yourself.
But if I, a mere mortal, can help you sort things out,
how much more can the all-knowing God help you,
directly through his Holy Spirit, and via the New Testament
and through local church men, who can give you hand-to-hand mentoring?
While God's bio is the most important, here is a little more about me:
My background:
* 'Saved', 1984, 40 years of Christianity
* 30 hours of Bible college.
* home group bible study ministry, county jail ministry,
* have spent decades walking through the debris-fields of people who were damaged by parents.
Thanks for checking in and spending some time with me - for taking the time to walk with me.

These are people I have crossed paths with - from decades of small town-life, family-life, work-life, church-life and TV crime shows.

a recipe ?!?
Why am I giving you a recipe on this website?
Well, this entire website is a recipe for a life that is strange to you, true?
So I thought I would give you a real food-recipe and share a story.
All my childhood, I strongly disliked most cooked vegetables.
I liked a lot of vegetables raw, but not cooked.
As I grew old and began to cook for myself,
I decided to try to make a dish for every vegetable I used to hate,
to see if I could make them edible to me.
So, this is my way of trying to take things I didn't like as a child
and make them usable in my adult life.
This is what some of you guys need to do.
I hated cooked onions, turnips, squash and yams/sweet potatoes.
So here is a recipe that uses all of them
and it goes well with sauteed chicken gizzards.
If you can't understand my recipe, ask an older woman to decipher it.
* Equal amounts of turnip, yam/sweet potato and butter nut squash, cut into 5/8" cubes.
(I first find a softball-sized turnip, then go from there)
* I/2 of a red onion sliced thin, then quarter the slices.
* Put into a huge mixing bowl and mix around, add a bit of salt, hot sauce,
and Worcestershire sauce mix around again.
The baking sauce is 2 parts alfredo sauce to 1 part poppyseed dressing.
(alfredo sauce is salty, so be careful salting the veggies)
Put enough sauce on to well-coat the veggies,
(but remember that the veggies will give up liquid during the baking.)
After stirring in the sauce, cut 2 or 3 strips of bacon into 1/2" cross-cut strips
and stir into the veggies.
Bake at 350F for 1 hour in a greased, covered dish. Test for doneness.
extend baking time until the hardest veggie is soft enough to eat.
You will find liquid in the bottom of the baking dish
Softly sprinkle a little corn starch on the veggies and stir them, repeat til the sauce is a thin gravy.
This recipe lets me eat four vegetables I used to hate.
