13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.

14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Easy Crispy Peanut Butter Balls

2 Tim.2:1-5


1 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good,
4 treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Salted Caramel Pistachio Pretzel Bark

                                                                                                               

Heb.9:27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment

1 bar of 60% Cacao Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bar

1 bar of White Chocolate Baking Bar

1/2c pistachios pieces

1/2 crushed pretzel pieces

Caramel for drizzling

Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 50 seconds, stir, melt another 10 seconds. Stir until all is melted, add nuts and pretzels. Spread on parchment, drizzle with caramel and cool. Break into bark and enjoy!

Chocolate Brandy Cherries

                                                                                                                   

1 large container of stemed Maraschino cherries(Sam's club)

1 box of Wilton's ready to used rolled white fondant (Michael's)
liqueur of your choice ( I have used Whiskey and Creme Sherry) my next choice will be Black cherry liqueur
Ghirardelli dipping chocolate
parchment lined cookie sheet

Drain 1/2 of the cherry juice and reserve for another use. Add liqueur to cherries and cure for 2 weeks (in refrigerator). Cherries must be well dried or the fondant will melt. Drain cherries on a towel(reserve juice for cakes and such) and rotate to be sure to get all the moisture. I usually drain my cherries for several hours. Separate fondant into manageable pieces, keeping unused fondant in a sealed ziplock, pinch off a marble size piece and roll between fingers to flatten, needs to be the size to fit around the cherry. Do in batches, a batch is what ever amount fits on the cookie sheet. Wrap cherries and seal around the stem. Let wrapped cherries dry while you finish your batch. I usually wrap all my cherries and put in the refrigerator. I dip the cherries in batches also. Dipping chocolate will not tolerate any liquid, it looses it's dipping quality. After all cherries are dipped, put in an airtight container and let them cure a couple of days so that the fondant will become creamy. Enjoy!
