If you have spent time around church, you most likely are familiar with the expression that we, as followers of Christ, are to be “salt and light.”

I believe for most of us that expression has become cliché and meaningless.

Jesus said in John 8:12: “I am the light of the world, he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

We are living in an unbelievable time in the history of this world. Never in history have we had so much.

Technology, knowledge and riches abound that were only a few years ago unimaginable.

 But these incredible changes may also lead to many into bondage.

The bondage of debt, self-reliance and sin, and people living their lives independent from God.

I thought I would revisit some recipes from last year that really helped some folks give their kids healthy, easy snacks for school. I’ve added some more ideas for those who would like some “adult snacks” for the office.

Hummus veggie wraps

Small whole wheat wraps/tortillas

Pepper strips,sliced thin

Cucumber, sliced thin

Carrot sticks, thin

Hummus, any flavor
