Wow.  I can't even begin to express how thankful we are for your prayers!  Our nephew, Shane, gave me permission to share this picture of he and his daughter, Hailee, (taken earlier in the fall) who were hurt in the horrific Thanksgiving day crash.  They were both in ICU a full week, but thank the Lord, they are now doing well!  Shane has had surgeries and is still in a lot of pain, so please keep praying for his full recovery, but we're hoping he'll be off to rehab soon.  Hailee has blown everyone away.  Once all of her tubes started coming out, she has improved so rapidly that even in a four hour period there would be amazing differences.  She should be home soon!Shane & Hailee

When my Dad was very ill in 1998, I remember bringing him pages and pages and pages of names of those on prayer chains everywhere who had prayed for him.  He was never an emotional kind of guy, to say the least, but after almost dying, he was so moved by that list he had tears coming down his face and asked, “Who are all these people?”  So I thought it might be neat if any of you who have prayed for Shane and Hailee would comment below and share your name and where you're from.  I'd love for Shane to get an idea of how many people all over the world were lifting them up in prayer as they were going through such a scary, painful, emotional time.  THANK YOU ALL for your love and friendship!  🙂

Let's see how many links I can get in here today before I have to wake the kids up…

  • A reader emailed the other day asking about college dorm food:  “I know you home school, but I don't remember the ages of your children.  I thought you might have a college age or almost college age child.  I was wondering what real food parents do about food for college students.   A friend of ours has a daughter starting school next year, and as a parent of children with multiple food allergies, I'm starting to wonder about what to do for food when they hit college age…”  My reply:  “Here's a post about college dorm food that might help.  Also, my best advice is to have them live at home and commute if at all possible, that's what our son has done, and it's saved a ton of money, too.”
  • OK, I'm out of time, but found this debate that you may want to turn on and listen in the background while you do something else (I know I can't just sit and watch something this long without multi-tasking), but it's about something that you may, as a real foodie, come up against now and then:  those who think we're all wrong for eating meat.  As I've said many times, it matters WHAT meat you eat!  (Here's my post on this:  Are Meat Eaters Ruining the Earth?)  It is that that makes ALL the difference for your health AND for the environment AND for the fair treatment of animals.  Check out this debate, Don't Eat Anything with a Face between 2 vegans and 2 real foodies who you probably know and love like I do:  Joel Salatin and Chris Masterjohn:  Click here for the video.

    The Vegetarian Myth is a great book and helped me transition away from veganism. It should really be called The Vegan Myth.

    Thing is everyone has different metabolism types. Those who thrive on vegetarian/vegan diets don’t need animal protein, those of us who get sick, wither away, and look like we are about to die if we don’t eat meat, yes indeed do need animal protein. So when you get on your high horse accusing meat eaters of being judgmental, look in the mirror.

    Shane,
    We are praying Catholics and we will not stop praying for you and your dear daughter.
    Hang in there. You will do great with time, just be patient with yourself!
    Love and prayers in His Name,
    Marie

    I watched the whole thing. The moderator cutting off Chris Masterjohn bugged me too. I had seven years feeling pretty good on a very whole foods vegan diet. Then I got autoimmune disease… When I was vegan, the worst person to meet was an exvegan who couldn’t wait to tell me they stopped because they got sick. Then it happened to me! It took me about three or four years to get over the fact that I couldn’t eat the way I used to eat. Then I found Dr. Campbell-McBride and I almost dismissed her because of what she said about vegans and their starving brains. It took me another couple of months , maybe longer to revisit her and admit that is exactly what happened to me. Vegans are stubborn, even exvegans. I thought the vegan debaters seemed very self-righteous. Be vegan for the animals at your own risk but do not insist that this diet will sustain everyone because it won’t. That is propaganda. Some people cannot maintain their health without animal foods. And nobody should eat factory farmed meat or battery hen eggs.

    I didn’t feel that the vegans were better debaters, I felt that they couldn’t follow the moderator’s ‘let’s all agree that we’re not debating commercial feedlot animals,’ then that’s all they cited studies from. Seriously a one sided debate. I’d love it if they would find a moderator willing to be more neutral, and vegans willing to be more on the proper topic. I agree, the carnies could have argued more eloquently, but I missed the scoring. Neither side ‘won’ in my opinion, mostly I was just disappointed, as I usually am

    I watched it and I’m a die hard carnivore but sadly the vegans were better debaters for that crowd. Chris spoke too quickly and scientifically. He lost me. For that crowd they needed to keep it simple and understandable. Even Joel wasn’t as good as he could be. The vegans were so good at keeping it cool. I’m so bummed the vegans won!

    I too eat meat but I know people who are very healthy and happy without it in their diets. Be careful making such blanket statements.

    There are plenty of healthy vegans/vegetarians in the world. It is not necessary to eat meat, there are plenty of alternatives for everything animals provide. Just because you didn’t enjoy this particular video doesn’t make vegetarianism/veganism invalid. It’s not nice to be so judgemental based on a narrow opinion.

    Vegans get crabby cause they don’t have enough animal fats going to their brains. 😉 oh. And if you have a come-back to my statement, it’s only proving my point.

    Not interested in anything the brainwashed morons that support the vegan industrial complex have to say.

    I could only watch it in parts. But from what I did see, they were comparing a commercial diet to a veg diet. Not what the meat eating side was presenting.

    the debate scoring was interesting. The no face food side seemed to have more educating to do to the audience. But did the audience get it?

    I joke about overly sensitive people needing to up their magnesium. I have been running into several administrators jumping to off the wall conclusions. Need animal protein to properly metabolize/detox, and all need magnesium.

    I need to ask for prayers AGAIN. Hailee is back in the hospital with a possible infection. If it’s positive she may be hospitalized through Christmas. 🙁

    PLEASE pray results tomorrow are NEGATIVE for infection.

    Thank you all from the bottom of my heart!!

    So thankful to hear that your nephew and his daughter are improving and doing well. I lifted them up in prayer and continue to believe for a full and complete recovery for both of them!
    {As a side note – when our daughter (now 25) was 3 she nearly died from spinal meningitis and we were completely blown away by the outpouring of love and prayers … we will never know how many people lifted our family up but we will be forever grateful!}

    I’d like to hear a debate on veganism/vegetarianism for a child who can’t digest legumes (diarrhea), and is anaphylactic to eggs, nuts, and all dairy. Raw foods also make him sick. I would love to hear a debate on that!

    I was praying for Shane & Hailee in North Branch, Michigan. Isn’t our God awesome?! He knew who I was praying for and the specifics, even though I didn’t.

    Shane and Hailey the very definition of faith is “that which is unseen.” God sees healing and wholeness and by our faith in Him I see you as such. Our prayers continue to be lifted for you both from Lowell Michigan.
