CDN Today Community

This site is in development. Right now, it is mostly a “Proof of concept” in that it is working but there are few recipes online. That WILL change – very soon, I hope. I will be adding more in a few days. I am confident that users will appreciate the content on this site when we [...]

This site is all about sharing recipes for good food. We have ‘em – you get ‘em You have ‘em – you share ‘em We all eat better!

I was concerned about why there were no new registrations recently. So, I started checking the entire process and found the problem.

In my last article I stated that trials are not always a direct result of our actions. But it is also true that some trials ARE the direct result of our own actions. It may even be the most common reason for hardship. When we overspend, we can expect to be pressed financially as we try to [...]

When trials hit, observers may assume that “they are reaping what they sowed.” They think that difficult pain is the direct result of one’s actions. That was what Jesus’ disciples were thinking when they asked (John 9:2), “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” This line of thinking is often [...]

(Updated on 9 August 2010) In the last article on the Purpose of Trials, I stated my firm belief that although God does NOT CAUSE trials, He ALLOWS them – in order to fulfill His purposes. So, what ARE the purposes that God has for allowing us to endure hardship and pain? In the previous article, we read from [...]

Why Do I Have To Endure Trials? (Updated on 9 August 2010) Recently, I saw that someone found one of my websites by searching on Google for the phrase, “Why does God give us trials?” First, let me say that I do not believe God causes the trials that come into our lives. Some of the hardships that [...]

In my last article ( What Happens When I Die? ), I posed the dilemma of how to reconcile the seeming conflict between the (almost) universal concept of the afterlife with the equally common belief about judgment. Our natural (I would say “God-given”) concept of the afterlife allows us to make the statement that “He/she is in a better place” at every [...]

Over the years, I have made a very unscientific study of what goes on at funerals. According to the religious preferences of those involved and according to the societal influence, the style and tone of funerals vary widely . Some are short and sweet (well, maybe not “sweet”) while others are long and drawn out affairs. Some [...]

Just the word “JUDGMENT” brings a bit of a chill into one’s being, doesn’t it? For many Christians, they visualize God’s judgment as a time of uncertainty and fear. It is like (only infinitely more fearful) standing in a courtroom today, waiting for the jury to announce their verdict. It is especially fearful, knowing that you are [...]

Yes, those are SugarBaby Watermelons hanging on my garden fence! And, yes, they do mature to full size, continue hanging on the fence, and – when harvested – taste DELICIOUS! That is what this site will be focused upon: growing a garden vertically. Although we will offer tips and helps for all types of gardens, the [...]

Most churches today are probably already using some church management software – especially for their financial transactions. However, due to the cost of purchasing such software, some smaller churches may not. Prior to my retirement, I pastored some small churches that did not have commercial software. So, I created some Excel spreadsheets to accomplish the more important [...]

Although my previous reviews of Ooma have all been positive, I must admit that I am now having some issues – particularly with their “Technical Support.” Recently, I started experiencing a rather unusual problem with my phone. All incoming calls appear to work properly. However, SOME outgoing calls would not present my voice to the [...]
