It is so quick to make and the flavours are so vibrant.
· 2 thin pork chops
· juice and zest of half a lemon

How to make Paprika Pork and Pepper Couscous

I am a KEPT woman
I Am a 'KEPT' Woman!
You see, there were a few times when I thought I would lose my mind,
But GOD KEPT me sane. (Isa. 26:3)
There were times when I thought I could go on no longer,
But the LORD KEPT me moving. (Gen 28:15)
At times, I've wanted to lash out at those whom I felt had done me wrong,
But the LORD KEPT my mouth shut. (Psa. 13)
Sometimes, I think the money just isn't enough,
But God has proved Himself over and over by supplying all needs(Matt. 6:25 -34)
When I thought I would fall, HE KEPT me up..
When I thought I was weak, HE KEPT me strong! (I Pet. 5:7, Matt. 11:28-30)
I could go on and on and on, but I'm sure you hear me!
I'm blessed to be 'KEPT.'
Are you...or do you know a 'KEPT' woman ?
If so pass it on to her to let her know she is 'KEPT'
I'm KEPT by the Love and Grace of God!
I am indeed a 'KEPT' woman and praise God for it!
Hope you can share this with other KEPT women!

God does
God Does
When you feel unlovable, unworthy, and unclean,
when you think that no one can heal you,
Remember, Friend, God Can.
When you think that you are unforgivable
for your guilt and your shame,
Remember, Friend, God Can.
When you think that all is hidden,
and no one can see within,
Remember, Friend, God Can.
And when you have reached the bottom,
And you think that no one can hear,
Remember, my dear friend, God Can.
And when you think that no one can love,
the real person deep inside of you,
Remember, my dear friend, God Does!
Fish with a transparent head
Fish With Transparent Head, "Barrel" Eyes
With a head like a fighter-plane cockpit, a Pacific barreleye fish shows off its highly sensitive,
barrel-like eyes--topped by green, orblike structures.
The fish, discovered alive in the deep water off California's central coast by the Monterey Bay
Aquarium Research Institute, is the first specimen of its kind to be found with its soft transparent dome intact.
The 6-inch (15-centimeter) barreleye (Macropinna microstoma) had been known since 1939,
but only from mangled specimens dragged to the surface by nets.
The beady bits on the front of the Pacific barreleye fish in this picture, aren't eyes but smell organs.
The grayish, barrel-like eyes are beneath the green domes, which may filter light.
In this picture the eyes are pointing upward--the better to see prey above in the darkness of the barreleye's deep-sea home.
Since the eyes are upright tubes, "it just looked like [they only] looked straight up.
But by watching live fish from a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and by bringing a barrelfish to an aquarium for study,
the scientists discovered that the eyes can pivot, like a birdwatcher pointing binoculars.
The transparent-headed Pacific barreleyes may steal fish from siphonophores--jellies that can grow to more than 33 feet (10 meters) long.
The barreleye's flat, horizontal fins may allow it to swim very precisely among the siphonophore's stinging tentacles--and if the fish fumbles,
the clear, helmet-like shield may protect its eyes.
The barreleye lives more than 2,000 feet (600 meters) beneath the ocean's surface, where the water is almost inky.
The transparent-headed fish spends much of its time motionless, eyes upward.
The green cap atop each of the fish's eyes filters out what little sunlight makes it down from the surface,
allowing the fish to focus on the bioluminescence of small jellies or other prey passing overhead.
Then the eyes rotate forward to follow the prey, allowing the fish to home in on its meal.

26 Lewensfeite
26 LEWENSFEITE VIR VROUE - MARETHA MAARTENS:
1. Die ego van 'n trouman is so dun soos 'n membraan. Bly
weg van 'n man met 'n ego wat nog dunner is. Telkens wanneer die
pieperige ego'tjie skeur, gaan die eienaar jou verantwoordelik hou vir
lyding en verlies aan lewensgehalte.
2. Moenie oorhaastig verloof raak of trou nie. As dit ewige
liefde is gaan hy nie toelaat dat iemand anders hom binne die volgende
ses maande opraap, ontvoer of blywend betower nie.
3. Vroue wat nie trou nie, het hul redes. Gelukkig vir die
mansgeslag is die vrouens te diskreet om dit aan die hele wereld bekend
te maak.
4. Wanneer aanneemkinders op hulle aanneemouers se harte
trap, is dit nie omdat hulle aanneemkinders is nie, dit is omdat hulle
kinders is.
5. Jou bejaarde ouers se harte is so broos en breekbaar
soos hulle heupe.
6. Jou getroude dogter (en skoondogter!) se skokkende
kaste, vaal kastrolle, harde kussings, kunsveselkomberse, kitcherige
skilderytjies en taai ketel is reg net soos dit is.
7. Soms is dit net een van daardie dinge!
8. Jy hoef nie alles by te woon, te sluk, te onthou, te
ondersteun, te besit, te weet of alleen te hanteer nie.
9. Jou gewig is reg solank jou regterbobeen nie jou
linkerbobeen rou skaaf nie.
10. Wat jy nou beleef, gaan ook verby.
11. Die geveg teen oud word is interessant, maar in
aanvaarding lê 'n skat van vrede opgesluit.
12. Wanneer ons ophou om mooi aan te trek en net in
sweetpakke en oorgroot T-hemde rondloop, jok ons wanneer ons sê: "Ek
voel gemaklik so." Wat ons eintlik sê is "Ek voel ongemaklik oor
myself."
13. God gee om.
14. Die ouer wat 'n obsessie ontwikkel oor een talent in
haar kind se lewe, kom selde agter hoeveel potensiële vriende haar kind
verloor.
15. 95% van kinders op wie daar druk van hierdie aard
geplaas word, gooi daardie talent na skool weg en vind terselftertyd dat
hulle die kuns om hulself deel van 'n groep te maak, nie op 20 eers kan
aanleer nie.
16. Egskeiding is nie 'n onvergeetlike sonde nie, maar dis
'n haaiaanvaal op kinders.
17. Seks is veronderstel om lekker te wees.
18. Die saad van die allerverskriklikste sondes lê onder
die sand van elkeen van ons begrawe. Dit wag net vir die regte
omstandighede om te ontkiem.
19. Was daar nie onverdiende genade nie, was dit ek.
20. Maak meer en meer sagte plekke in jou hart vir meer en
meer mense.
21 Kinders het hulle ouers se ore nodig.
22. Wees veral versigtig wat in jou hart omgaan, want dit
bepaal jou lewe.
23. Die lewe is hard. Mans soek sagtheid.
24. 'n Vrou moet nie te toegeeflik, te afhanklik, te
praterig, te stil, te onafhanklik, te agterdogtig, te goedgelowig, of te
haastig wees nie. 'n Vrou het styl wanneer sy
begrypend-menslik-uitreikend-belangstellend-sterk-nie onder 'n kalkoen
uitgebroei nie-goedgesind-onversteurbaar-kalm leef en optree.
25. Om net te wil hê is kinderagtig.
26. As jy 'n kat of hond het, gaan jy ontdek dat hy kan
praat.

Dear God
Dear God,
So far today, I've done all right.
I haven't gossiped.
I haven't lost my temper.
I haven't lied or cheated.
I haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or overindulgent.
I'm very thankful for that.
But in a few minutes, Lord,
I'm going to get out of bed;
and from then on,
I'm probably going to need a lot more help.
Amen.
