There are literally dozens and dozens of <a href="http://www.wineinyourdiet.com/diet_plans_and_menus.php">diet plans and menus</a> out there, some of which place an accent on <a href="http://www.wineinyourdiet.com/my_wine_diet_articles.php">wine</a>. The Hallelujah Diet, also known as the Creator's Diet, was initiated by George Malkmus, a former chemist who became a Baptist preacher. After surviving colon cancer Malkmus was convinced that he owed his life to spiritual food. The diet is directed at adults who are in good health. Unlike many other diets, there is no stated time limit for this diet. Its objectives are two fold: namely, weight loss and approaching God via the practice of eating divine food.
The Hallelujah Diet also includes an optional transition phase for people who feel that their bodies need time to adapt to the new regime and effectively detoxify their systems. This diet excludes all foods of animal origin with one single exception, honey. The only permitted foods are fruits, legumes, and some nuts and grains. Furthermore, a full eighty five percent of your food must be raw, which, in the eyes of this diet, is food as it was created by God. Permitted cooked foods include coffee (is that a food?), infusions, organic juices, soups, cereals, beans, and fruit.
You are strongly advised to be aware of any detoxification symptoms. The many symptoms include minor headaches, nausea, fatigue, skin breakouts, and diarrhea. Give your body time to adust to this detoxification. I am no doctor but I would strongly suggest that you stop should things really get out of hand.
While this diet has the advantage of consuming lots of fruits and vegetables it lacks many basic nutrients. Furthermore, it does not take exercise into account. The Hallelujah diet does not provide balanced and varied food. While iIt tends to be effective in the short term, but it is not in the long run. In my mind another disadvantage is that the diet does not make any particular mention of wine. A quick look at the Internet revealed a few Hallelujah Diett books in both traditional and e-book format.
Here are is a sample menu : For breakfast: enjoy your bowl of whole grain cereal with soy milk, an apple and a cup of tea. Lunch time means celery salad, green beans, and a pie made from dates and apples. Your mid-afternoon snack is a carrot juice and almonds. For supper you may indulge yourself with broccoli soup, vegetable noodles, a glass of almond milk, and two clementines.

The Polish Money Attractor
Copyright (c) 2014 Joe Vitale
I love asking people in the countries I visit about their customs. One of my favorite questions is, "What secrets do you have for attracting money or anything else?"
In Russia I learned about Hochun, the Siberian "wish maker." I love him as a tool for focusing on intentions. Pat O'Bryan and I released our own version of him at The Secret Russian Wish Maker.
In Poland I learned that you can attract money if you hang a painting of a Jewish man counting gold coins in your home or office.
My friend Andrzej Batko said he bought such a painting, placed it in his office, and it worked. I of course wanted one, too.
We found one in Krackow. I loved it, bought it, and am having it framed right now. When my new office is completed, I'll hang it where I can see it.
Actually, it's now framed…
This raises the question: Do these items actually work?
I don't know. But my theory is this: if it doesn't hurt you to hang a painting or look at an image, then why not do it? When something is fun, adds to the positive energy for your desire, it has to be good.
Here's something even more fascinating:
I met famed Polish photographer Grzegorz Syllain in Warsaw. He followed me around one day and took pictures of me shopping for cigars and clothes. His teenage daughter followed and helped.
When we stopped to have coffee, I asked his daughter what she enjoyed doing. She said painting. I then told them what I learned about the Polish custom of having the money attractor painting. They both knew the power of the painting.
But they didn't see what was coming next.
"When I go back to Texas and write about my painting, people will want one for their home or office, too. The thing is, I won't have anywhere to send them to buy a painting. If you would set up a website, and your daughter would paint the art, I could direct them to you."
His daughter loved the idea.
He loved the idea.
"If you do this, you could attract enough money for school or anything else you want."
They nodded with excitement.
I then challenged them.
"I want you to start painting and to get the site up by the time I return to the States in three days. If you do, I'll tell my readers about it."
Grzegorz quickly agreed.
So did his daughter.
"I don't want a penny for this," I explained. "I want to see you act on this idea. This is the secret to attracting success in life; when the idea is there, honor it and act on it."
Sure enough, they honored their word.
Their site is now up at Polish Money Attractor Painting.
If I were you, I'd do two things right now:
1. Write down an idea you've had and haven't acted on yet.
2. Act on it.
Oh.
And go get your own original Polish Money Attractor Painting.
What if it works?

Today Application of Yesterday Miracles
In this lesson, we will explore the first recorded miracle associated with the actual ministry of Jesus Christ as documented in the New Testament Gospels- Turning Water into Wine!
I have spent a day or two behind a stove and many more days at tables of some of the South's best cooks. I guess you can say, I have an affinity for fine food- especially great home cooked meals.. I enjoy the taste, the touch, the sight, the feel, the back story and surely the wonderful cooked creations of food. A few Friday's ago, I went to a fish fry hosted by one of my members in Houston Texas. This weekly tradition had all the expected features- fried okra, French fries, coleslaw, hushpuppies, fried tilapia, fried catfish and a host of beverages. It was a night to remember. As my family and sat at the table of grandma Booker sharing, she offered me something unexpected- Shrimp Creole. I was first shocked for I only expected fried fish and secondly for this was the absolute best Shrimp Creole I have had in my entire life- and mind you this is coming from a preacher with a history of owning and operating restaurants in the famed French quarter of New Orleans.
In my mind, I marvel at the greatness on display in the life of others. Many play basketball but Lebron James plays at a different level. Many brothers across the America are playing footballl, yet the Peyton brothers achieve on a higher level. No, I can not compare these or Grandma's Shrimp Creole to Jesus, but we must say Jesus and His Church are different from all the others.. Then my mind traveled to ask 'why was Jesus able to turn water into wine in such a short time and without the aid of grapes'. In this lesson we ponder those questions about the miracle enologist from Galilee on a wonderful day back in the village of Cana.
How many miracles did Jesus perform? I often teach 35 while others teach slightly less or slightly more. In this study we explore 40 miracles lessons featuring Jesus. When we add the virgin birth, the miracles of a "group" nature such as verses that say many people were healed in conjunction with the miracles after the Resurrection to include the ascension this number increases. There are many miracles of Jesus recorded in the NT. In this believing in miracles series, I will teach life application significance related to 40 specific miracles in the bible related to Jesus Christ. Remember, prayer and studying the bible are tools of communication and connection to God. each miracle speaks truth in our lives..
In this article, we study the miracle of turning water into wine. The modernistic connection to this miracle is in learning how to seize opportunity and recognize destiny moments in life. No one does it like Jesus. Making wine without grapes. Wow!.What a taste! What is impossible with man is possible with God. When there is no way, Jesus is the way. When all potential solutions fail, Jesus has a new plan of success. When you look and see hopelessness, through the eyes of Jesus there is always opportunity.
The Water Into Wine Miracle is recorded in John 2:1-11. We will study the back story, the life significance and then be guided in the art of prayer.
First, The Back Story-
Before Jesus life changing circuit of public ministry, he performed a miracle of changing water into wine at a family wedding banquet in the village of Cana, in Galilee, which is a region in the land of Israel. Jesus, his mother, Mary, and his disciples were guests at the wedding. It is believed that the Father Joseph deceased at the time of this event. It is wise to further conclude this was a family wedding based on Mary's reaction to the problem. At some point in the festivities, the wine was totally consumed. Mary then brings the problem to Jesus. Jesus hesitates so it appears and then as they say the rest is history. Mary orders the helpers to do whatever Jesus request and miraculously the water turns into wine. Jesus ordered six water pots filled to with water. The master of the banquet called the bridegroom over "and said, 'Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till
now' " In the next verse, John the Apostle wrote: "What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him". The bible is the best commentary for itself. The closing verse reveals this was Jesus first miracle performed.. So what? I know the bible seems like rules to a trivia game church people play?
Second, The Life Application:
Too many times we miss opportunities to be a witness to others. God has tasked each and every member of the body of Christ to be "fishers of men" meaning we each have a duty to spread the Word of God to everyone we meet. The pessimistic sees the glass half full while the optimist sees the glass with potential to overflow. What do you see?. Whether that is a kind word to someone standing next to you in line, a hug of encouragement to someone in need, or offering prayer to someone in crisis, look for the opportunity to be a example of Christ.
Third, The Miracle Mind of Prayer:
Heavenly Father, open my eyes so that I may see and my ears so that I may hear and never miss the opportunity to bring your kingdom glory. Let everything that I say and do be pleasing to you, Lord. Thank you that I am sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit acting as a vessel for your love to pour through me.
Here are some great verses for additional study and reference on applying the miracle lesson of Jesus' Virgin Birth into your life-

Diet Menus And Plans - Reviewing The Glycemic Index Diet
There are literally dozens and dozens of <a href="http://www.wineinyourdiet.com/diet_plans_and_menus.php">diet plans and menus</a> out there, some of which place quite an accent on <a href="http://www.wineinyourdiet.com/my_wine_diet_articles.php">wine</a>. The Glycemic Index Diet, also known as the G I Diet, was created by Rick Gallop. The glycemic index is a measure of blood sugar level. During digestion glucides are transformed into glucose. Reducing the GI level helps you lose weight. Low-GI foods such as dried apricots, dark chocolate, fruit, whole-grain rice, and cheese have a GI less than 55. High GI foods such as French fries, white rice, and watermelon have a GI greater than 70 and should be avoided. This diet has two phases. The first phase lasts between 15 days and a month. The second phase may last a lifetime. Here are some of the principles.
Eat foods with a low GI. During the initial phase every week eat 4 to 5 portions of fish without sauce, one or two portions of meat also without sauce, one or two eggs, and one or two portions of ham. Eat all the vegetables and legumes and drink all the water and green tea that you desire. Accompany your main meal with three fruits daily. During phase 2 continue these habits but add one or two portions of daily products (preferably light) and one or two chocolate squares daily. Add whole-grain cereals and breads, and basmati rice in moderate amounts. Accompany the grains and rice with green vegetables. The following principles apply to both phases. Use colza, olive, and walnut oils. Drink only water, tea without sugar, or a maximum of two glasses of red wine per day. Eat three meals and up to two snacks a day but don't graze. Keep mealtime stress free. Walk an hour a day and exercise three additional hours a week.
The Glycemic Index Diet offers several benefits for diabetics. It is also said to fight against aging, cancer, and some cardio-vascular illnesses. For me an advantage of this diet is permitting up to two glasses of red wine per day. The disadvantage is reviewing and changing food habits.
Here is a sample menu associated with Phase 1. Your breakfast: is a cup of green tea and a mashed banana along with sliced almonds. For lunch have a salad composed of dandilions, clover, and lettuce with bell peppers, cucumbers, and olives. Then enjoy pureed turnips and carrots. Dessert is two prunes. For supper indulge in pumpkin soup, a filet of sole, and a side dish of squash. Dessert is a compote made from apples and raspberries.

The Benefits of Light-hearted Comedic Discussion Forums
If you have ever encountered a computer connected to the internet, you know it can be quite a chaotic place. While cyberspace can be a bastion of fun, passion-driven discussions on all sorts of important topics, it can also be an endless pit of cringe-worthy ignorance and ugliness. The comments section on online video clips is almost enough to convince even the most humanitarian individual that it may just be better for civilization as we know it to be cleansed mercilessly with fire in order for us to progress as a species. However, there is hope. One of the most effective ways in combating this kind of negative behavior (or at least prevent it from infecting you) is to keep things light. Most comedic discussion forums are aware of their environmental make-up and work hard to make their sites safe places for all kinds of social discussions.
One way you can keep comedy in even the most heated and heavy discussions is by remembering that losing or winning an argument has no effect on whether or not you are still allowed to maintain your own opinion on the matter in question. One conversation on the internet is not an accurate assessment about your intelligence and ethical status, so try not to take it too seriously. Remember, you always have the choice to walk away before it gets bitter and mean-spirited, as many online debates often do.
This ties directly into the idea that you must also have a handle on perspective. It can take some practice to develop a system that keeps you from getting out of hand, but frustration can be managed. Economic online discourse demands that we are aware of who we are in the larger social conversation. We are not, as individuals, expected to be total experts on everything we have ideas on. Some contextual knowledge is, of course, rightly expected when engaging in a conversation, but remember that you are still learning. If your focus in a discussion is on becoming a better student of the argument and topic, there is hardly a way you can come out if the experience without having picked up or learned something of merit.
When it comes to exchanges on the internet, you can find people willing to pick a fight about anything. Whether it's an argument over One Direction and Justin Bieber or the merits of laissez-faire capitalism, there will be people there to push your buttons right alongside those willing to talk. Keeping your cool is essential in continuing to enjoy great social media sites and in maintaining a calm, level-headed composure on comedic discussion forums. We learn best from one another, after all, when we are willing to be open minded, relaxed, and intellectually challenging with each other, so finding and supporting spaces that provide that kind of environment is essential.
