JACK IS BACK!

Jackfruit is in season its origin is from Southwest India.  The fruit is a thick rubbery rind has shot blunt spines and can have up to 500 seeds.   All parts of the fruit have milky white sticky latex and only the rind and core are inedible.    The average fruit size is 35 lbs but they are often larger.  In 2010 at a Jackfruit Festival in Kerala, India 144 lb fruit was featured beating out a 79 lb Hawaiian fruit which held the Guinness book of records for years.    
  
I personally enjoy the fruit and look forward to April the start of its season.  It is sold as is off the tree in some places but it is a bugger to cut and extract the fruit therefore, it is mostly sold 10 pieces in a plastic bag ready to eat.  You can find hawkers selling them at bus stands, toll booths or on the side of the road.
WOW! I am happy JACK IS BACK!

RAPE

The horrific violation of one’s person is the action of rape. It is without a doubt the single action that not only effects the body but the heart and soul of the one being violated. It is difficult even now to understand the actions, mind set and the heart of one whom commits the heinous act of violating another’s body. Although these persons are human one cannot see them but as animals dark in nature without redemption and yet we are mandated from our Lord to forgive…MARK 11:25 “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” However, it well to note here we are forgiven by our Lord when we ask for forgiveness with a repentant and contrite heart as should the rapist seek this same road of forgiveness towards those whom have been violated. Rape is not an easy course of securing justice for the violator. Often times the history of the life of the violated is so scrutinized it leaves one to wo

RETURNING

  It has been at least four years since I have written anything.  My mission life came to a halt in 2018 when I became very ill while in India.  I spent two and half months in a hospital in India with a 5% chance of survival from my surgery and a 5% chance of surviving Critical Care.  I received amazing care. I was sent back to the states for further treatment especially since I lost my ability to walk.  It was physiological.  It took 9 months before I could walk but walk I did.  The surgery left me with a Colostomy which was troublesome, to say the least.  However, in June of this year, I had a colostomy reversal which was a success and all is back to normal.  I am in a Nursing Home with other medical issues.  It took me until now to accept my life here.  I am in a private room which allows me my quiet, prayer time, crocheting and interacting with friends in the home.   I decided this morning to go back to writing...I hope you will take this journey with me.   Linda Mary Liotino
