The Priority of God’s Word
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves, Do what it says. James 1:22

I am thankful for a new day. I am thankful for a new week! I am especially thankful for Community Bible Study and the opportunity to be studying the book of Hebrews with men and women who are so knowledgeable and so strong in their faith and the way they share that faith with others. I am blessed.

I have used this recipe to round out the menu for many dinners. The walnuts, celery, and apples give it a great crunchy texture and the raspberry jello is a perfect taste AND color for the holiday table! When serving as a salad I add a dollop of mayo on top. When serving as a dessert (and sometimes I do) I add a dollop of whip cream! To make the most out of this healthy salad I use sugar-free jello.

(3) Original recipe calls for Black cherry flavored gelatin, but I prefer Raspberry jello.
