Bible Verse of the Day

Exodus 13:20-22 (New Life Version)

Then they left Succoth and set up their tents at Etham, beside the desert. The Lord went before them, in a pillar of cloud during the day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire during the night to give them light. So they could travel day and night. The pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire during the night did not leave the people.

In the 21st Century we don't have a pillar of cloud to follow during the day or a pillar of fire to follow at night, but God still leads the way by speaking to our hearts. This holiday season, remember to celebrate the fact that your steps are ordered by the Lord.

Recipe of the Day

I love dessert, but at age ... well, not 18 anymore, I have to be careful that I don't eat too much or too many because the pounds don't go away nearly as quickly as they did back then. Chelsie Kenyon, our Guide to Mexican Food, has the perfect compromise - Caramel Apple Empanadas. They are not only delicious, they're also healthy with cooked apples, raisins and cinnamon. Get the recipe.
