Colossians 3:23
Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the
Lord rather than for people.
Health Corner
Have you ever heard of steel cut oats? Steel cut oats also known as Irish
Oatmeal, are whole oat groats (whole grain) which have been chopped
into 2 or 3 pieces with steel blades. Various forms of oatmeal, such as
rolled and quick oats, are processed from steel cut oats. Steel cut oats
are coarser, smaller and tougher than rolled oats. When eaten, this kind
of oats digests more slowly than the rolled oats. Like all other grains in
whole or cracked form, steel cut oats
rank lower on the glycemic index than
rolled oats. The reason is that it takes
longer for digestive enzymes to reach
the starch inside the thicker pieces,
slowing down its conversion to sugar
making it a healthy choice. Proceed with
Rolled Oats
Steel Cut Oats
caution if gluten is an issue for you.
It’s in the Bible
Leadership
Effective leaders delegate and show appreciation for the work of others. It's in
the Bible, Exodus 39:43, NIV. “Moses inspected the work and saw that they
had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.”
Effective leaders recognize their limitations. It's in the Bible, Deuteronomy
1:9, TLB. “At that time I told the people, 'I need help! You are a great burden
for me to carry all by myself.”
True leaders are servants. It's in the Bible, Luke 22:25, NIV. “Jesus said to
them, ‘The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise
authority over them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like
that. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the
one who rules like the one who serves.’”
