Links to Christian websites/blogs

I thought I would share a few web links I have found encouraging and helpful: UPLOOK is a wonderful Christian magazine. I have been encouraged in my walk with the Lord, by their scriptural articles.  You can download back issues of the magazine to your mobile device or computer. They have a magazine archive from 1998 all the way to 2013. Check it out!   http://www.uplook.org/archives.html Another blog:  http://goodwordsandworks.com/ It features book reviews on different books and also great posts on biblical truth. They have a nice list of links to other similar websites. http://digitalsojourner.com/ Thoughts on the Christian life as we sojourn together through the modern world http://whyweweb.com/ This website has lots of tips on technology and how we as Christians can use technology to share the gospel more effectively. http://ponsvir.blogspot.com/ This is another writing blog. It has posts on the tabernacle and other subjects in the Old Testament.

Recipe: Turkish Delight Candy

So I had everything to make it. It takes about an hour to boil the candy, so if you make it, I suggest setting aside a few hours when the house is quiet and there is nothing else going on.  My Turkish word of the day is:  resmini çekmek: to photograph http://www.transparent.com/word-of-the-day/today/turkish.html                                                                            The Turkish Delight after setting overnight.      Make sure to dust your surface with powdered sugar, so it doesn't stick! (Note: I didn't put in the red food coloring, so this is the natural color, even though it was rose flavored.)        After it was sliced, I shook it in a plastic bag with more powdered sugar. The beautiful bowl is one that I bought in
