 A very intense weather event yesterday and last night. High wind, heavy rain, floods and lightening. I've been in recovery from Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Cardiac Arrest, Sepsis, and now Shingles. I've done very well until yesterdays storm. Anxiety overtook me. I kept praying that YHWH would protect us, especially from the floods. I couldn't sleep and my pain intensified. Anxiety, panic attacks, hysteria and exhaustion almost took total control of my mind. Then a sudden calm came over me and I remembered Matthew 8:23-27. I opened my Bible and read the Scriptures. I laughed at myself with this storm raging in me and at the storm raging outside. I closed my Bible, thanked YHWH for bring the calm I had prayed for and for HIS Grace for my doubt and hysteria. I almost instantly fell asleep, no more anxiety, fear, panic or pain and slept soundly for 6 hours. I Awoke at daylight and all was well. Our Father is so good even when we don't deserve it. I praise HIM for HIS Love and Grace. I pray my faith never slips again but I know that our Father is always there to hold us in HIS Hand. May YHWH Bless us and Keep us. Love y'all.

Mint Aero Tiffin | Easy Mint Chocolate Traybake

 CHEESY-STUFFED POBLANO PEPPERS with SALSA:
(Need a quick appetizer for your 4th of July cookout or any other summer gathering? These Cheese-Stuffed Poblano Peppers with Salsa are full of flavor and have all the components of a perfect summer app: cheese, grilled veggies, and seasonal flavors like tomato and lime juice.
The salsa can be made ahead or on the spot – it just needs 30 minutes to sit and let the flavors mingle. In the meantime, you can mingle with friends and family while you cook burgers, hot dogs, skewers, or whatever else you’re cooking up on the grill!
I made the salsa with Hatch diced tomatoes and green chilies. Poblanos are not spicy, so if you like a little spice, you can use their diced tomatoes and jalapeños instead.)

SERVINGS: 8

INGREDIENTS:
FOR THE SALSA:
½ cup roughly chopped white onion --- 2 cloves garlic , roughly chopped --- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves --- ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt --- ½ teaspoon garlic powder --- 1 (14.5 ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained --- 1 (10 ounce) can Hatch diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained --- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 1 large lime)

FOR THE PEPPERS:
8 large poblano peppers --- 24 ounces shredded Mexican blend cheese --- Vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS:
1. Place onion, garlic, cilantro, salt, and garlic powder in a food processor or blender and process until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes, tomatoes and chilies, and lime juice and pulse several times until blended but chunky. Allow to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to let the flavors mingle. (Any leftover salsa can be stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.)

2. Prepare the grill for direct and indirect heat and preheat to medium. Oil the grates.

3. Place the peppers over direct heat and grill for 10-15 minutes, flipping often, until charred. Place in a bowl and cover with a plate or plastic wrap and let steam until cool enough to handle. Peel the peppers, slit each one from stem to tip, and scrape out the seeds.

4. Stuff each pepper with the cheese. Place a large piece of heavy-duty foil over indirect heat, place the peppers on top and grill until the cheese is fully melted, 6-8 minutes.

5. Serve with the salsa. Bobby (*_*) @Bobbycountry

 It's been one year since I died of cardiac arrest out in my back yard. 

Only 15%  of the folks that are revived by defibrillation survive to one year. I was not shocked back to life and no one was there to do CPR. I was wearing a heart monitor that my cardiologist had applied the day before. It recorded the arrest and my heart starting back. 

I just woke up. Got up off the ground and put away my push mower and went in the house. I took a shower, put a load of clothes on to wash, fixed and ate supper and then went to bed. I felt fine. I thought I had overheated and passed out.

I got a phone call the following day at 10pm from the monitor company letting me know that I had had a cardiac event and needed to call an ambulance. I called the ambulance at their request, but I told them I had never felt better. 

The ambulance came. I told the paramedics why I called. They said they couldn't find anything wrong. I said that the monitor company insisted I be taken to the ER by ambulance. So they took me. 

The ER doctor ran every test he  could think of and said he couldn't find anything wrong with my EKG, X-ray,  or lab-work. He admitted me to the main hospital in our area that was 40+ miles away. I was in the ER for 6 hours.

 I was admitted into a room in the cardiac unit at 6 am. I told them why I was admitted. My cardiologist office sent a PA to check on me and to see why I was admitted. I told her the story and told her I felt fine. She, the PA, said she would call the monitor company to see what was going on and what they meant by "cardiac event." 

She came back to my room in about 20 minutes and asked when I last ate. I said, "9pm."  She said, "That's great. As soon as I can get a crew here, you will go for a Heart Cath." 

My next question was, "Why?" She explained that the "event" was Cardiac Arrest and she wanted to know who revived me. I told her I thought I just fainted and no one was with me. 

I felt tired. I sat down in the yard. Then everything slowly went black. The next thing I knew was waking up looking at a beautiful blue sky. She said, "That's not possible, no one gets up without defibrillation from v-fib induced cardiac arrest." I told her that's what happened. 

Anyway, the crew came in 45 minutes and I was sent to the OR. The started the cath and suddenly I was waking up from sleep/anesthesia. The surgeon was applying deep compression to the area of my groin where the incision was. He told me I had a 99%  blockage in my "Widow Maker", the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and that he had inserted a  stint. He said I only had 68 % flow with the stint and that I had 20% blockage to the right side of my heart. He said he left the right side as it was. I told him that 68 % was better than nothing.  

After the surgery was horrible. I've never felt so bad in my life. I couldn't get my energy or stamina back. A couple of months later I started Cardiac Rehab for 3 months and it has almost given me my life back.  

I praise YHWH for getting me up that day. HE was the only one with me. I praise HIM for giving me the health care teams that took care of me over those next few months. I praise HIM for today and every day of my life.
