For many years as I have read the scriptures I have wanted to put "flesh on the bones". What do I mean by that? Many of the characters we read about may be mentioned by name only and we know nothing more about them. Others we learn a little about and it is these that I often wonder about. They were real people who lived and breathed just as we do. Can my imagination allow me to think as perhaps they did? My hope is that as you read, your imaginations will be sparked and the characters will come to life.

For many years I made dehydrated jerky from beef, venison and turkey. These recipes will work with these meats. My wife and I really use chicken as our mainstay for jerky year round. We make on average 5 lbs. a week and carry it to work as the best snack. Over time I have cut as much sodium as possible and utilize jalapenos as the base, for the punch we like in our jerky. My wife used this chicken jerky with other fresh vegetables when she began her diet this year. It helped her stay on track with other healthy items and lose the weight she desired. When cooked correctly this will not be the gooey jerky found in mass marketed product. This jerky is crispy, low on sodium and avoids chemical cures. Try it, we think you'll be pleased.

This story is of Hendrick Mahlangu and Hope for Africa Mission. But it is not to shine light on either of these two, but rather, to show the incredible grace and mercy of God as He furthers His people in His plans for them. It is a story of struggle and miracle; of life led abundantly despite circumstances, for that is why Jesus came: "to give us life to the full." John 10:10
