Editor’s Note G reetings HimPower Family! Wel- come to this special edition of HimPower Magazine. It is always a blessing for us to share with you what God has placed on our hearts to do. We are pleased to bring you an exciting cover story, and there are three reasons why this article is sure to resonate with you. First, we all like eat. Would you agree? Secondly, we all want to be healthy. Also true. And as a Christian, you want to know what the Word has to say about both. Or, at least you should. So, who better to address all three than Debra Peek-Haynes, First Lady and wife of Dr. Frederick D. Haynes III, Senior Pastor, Friendship-West Baptist megachurch in Dallas (TX). Interestingly enough, her journey began with a determination to defy the medical diagnosis that she was barren. Standing firm on her faith, she believed God for His promises. And after taking the necessary steps for healing, she conceived. Then, God showed her how to bless others in the same manner she used--with food. Equipped with this new knowledge and her love of cooking, she has now authored two books, Debra Peek Haynes' Healing Kitchen – The Beginner’s Guide to Healthy Living and The Simplified Guide to Healthy Living - Vegetarian & Vegan Recipes and More. If you have been wondering how to cook healthy food that tastes as good as it looks, look no further. Whatever your culinary preference and discrim- inating palate, you will learn from this dynamic lady what you need to do to help you and your family regain health and live healthier, happier lives. Next, be sure to dine on our inspira- tional articles and feed your spirit. Then, take note of harmful risk factors related to heart disease in men and lupus in women and what can be done to treat them. Even if you are not affected, there is a good chance someone you know is. Share the message, share the love. Finally, it is with mixed emotions that I inform you this is the last issue of the ezine for HimPower Magazine. (Learn why in my Commentary.) And while we are saddened this chapter of the HimPower story has come to a close­—at least for now—we are no less committed and will continue to share the message of God’s love and blessings for those who trust Him at www.himpowermagazine.com. If you haven’t signed up for the HimPower News- letter, be sure to do so and stay informed on what’s new. As always, to God Be the Glory in All. Blessings… Carol www.himpowermagazine.com  5
