“For all of us in this world, there is a purpose. None of us is less valuable than the others. Value just takes a different form. We are all God’s children. We are all special. — Ralph Showers [Source: Reach for the Rainbow]
Many summers ago I had the honor of attending a conference on disability ministry at Green Lake Conference Center in Wisconsin led by Rev. Ralph Showers. Ralph is kind of like the energizer bunny, he just keeps going and going. It was hard to keep up with what seemed like his endless source of energy. It was a wonderful week of fun, fellowship and learning with conference participants from across the U.S. and Canada. I suggest you find a copy of his book Reach for the Rainbow that tells his personal story as well as the story of his ministry. You will be blessed. When Ralph says we are all God’s children, we are all special, I believe him.

How about a Nice Bowl of Soup?
Copyright 2014 by R.A. Robbins
Soup is something I love to make, but I seldom use a recipe. For me soup is a make it up as you go sort of thing. For the soup in the picture I used the broth and meat scraps from boiling the carcass from the Thanksgiving turkey. I added onions, carrots and celery and let it cook. Then at the end I added kale torn in small pieces and cooked noodles. For my noodles I used brown rice spaghetti broken into smaller pieces to look like the noodles in the canned soup my mom “made” when I was sick. I cooked this and added to the individual bowls of soup at serving time because gluten free noodles don’t stand up to reheating. It took a couple of times having noodles dissolve into a pot of soup for me to learn this. 🙂
What kind of soup do you like to make?
More gluten free tips and recipes are available in my new e-book The Gluten Free Good Life.

“If you want to be an artist, you do what artists do. Artists don’t set out to create ART, they set aside some time, then they show up and get involved with the materials and tools of their medium.” — Jean Bryant [Source: Stop Improving Yourself and Start Living]
