Cinnamon Honey Lemon Soother

Pour 2 quarts boiling water over 2 sliced lemons with 2 broken cinnamon sticks. When warm enough to drink comfortably, add honey to taste. Drink several times a day. The lemon, honey and cinnamon all have components that help the body fight germs. You’ll be back on your feet in no time!

“A Case For Something Eternal” was an assignment in an art class at the University of Utah. I created a wooden case with plexiglass panels to protect and display that which is of most value. It contained Hoffman’s portrait of Jesus Christ, a statue of Christ and children, an olive branch representing peace and a platinum-colored frame with the following scripture,
“I am the first and the last,
I am He who liveth,
I am He who was slain,
I am your advocate with the Father.”

Although the case was meant to protect, I realized that I am the one protected by my Savior.
