Reclaim the Temple: Food is not just fuel for the body, it is a gift from GOD.

Reclaiming the Temple: Looking on to What’s Next

By Pam Fowler on 01/19/2012

Food is so much more than fuel. Food is connection. It is meant to connect us to the land from which it comes, to the people with whom we share it, the atmosphere in which it is shared, the memories it produces, and mostly with Him who blesses us with it all.

Reclaim the Temple: Does food have a proper place in our hearts or is it an idol?

Reclaiming the Temple: Ponderings

By Pam Fowler on 01/09/2012

So, I have many things floating around in my mind. Many things I need to sort through. Sweet food is my way to de-stress. So I wonder; is that wrong to use food in this way? I don’t think it is. I believe that God created food to be much more than fuel…

Reclaim the temple: you are GOD's temple

Reclaiming the Temple: Day Four

By Pam Fowler on 01/05/2012

Reclaiming the temple is really reclaiming my life; my thoughts, emotions and talents. This is where rededicating it all to the Lord comes in. He wants all of it. Not because He needs it or is some great fun stealer. I truly believe that He loves food too…

Reclaim the temple: you are GOD's temple

Reclaiming the Temple: The Beginning

By Pam Fowler on 01/04/2012

The Lord spoke to me through that; it is time to reclaim the temple, rededicate it to Him, and wait for the miracles from Him, miracles of oil to continue when I don’t have enough. And so this is where I am to start, with the temple that is my body…

Michael Pollan's 'Food Rules: An Eater's Manual'

Michael Pollan’s Food Rules [Book Review and Video]

By Pam Fowler on 07/26/2010

When my husband first showed me ‘Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual’ by Michael Pollan, we were both struck by how small it was, but I was hooked from the first glance. ‘Food Rules’ is a quick and very enjoyable read filled with witty, quirky sayings that are fun to read yet are full of wisdom…

For Those Who Struggle With Basic Needs The Environment Is Not A Concern

Poor Folks Don’t Care About the Earth

By Pam Fowler on 02/18/2010

I was not being fair to those that need to think about their basic needs first. So I started to think, how can I help those with limited choices not only have what they need to live but to give them choices?

Do we trust GOD for our practical needs?

Can You Backpack With Boxes?

By Pam Fowler on 12/27/2009

Security does not come in a full fridge, money in the bank, a paycheck each week, knowing that you can get it if you need it, eating organically (this is the newest thing on the chopping block)…

Do we trust GOD to be a good father? (montage by J Fowler)

Culture’s God or True God?

By Pam Fowler on 12/03/2009

Why do we view God in the way that we do? I have been thinking a lot about the way that I think about God and His character-I have also been thinking a lot about how I think life ought to be and my role in it. How much of these things are truth and how much has been implanted by our culture?

Is GOD calling you to a new way of life? (montage by J Fowler)

Deep calls to Deep

By Pam Fowler on 11/25/2009

I was just watching the Tri Robinson video about his root cellar that lead me to his homestead blog and found myself feeling a deep longing to live the life I feel called to–one of production not just consumption; one of simplicity and connection to this earth; one of real community and fellowship.
