She has found her niche.
She said she really enjoys sell

She is back in her choir seat

Well, I’m off on another tan
gent. This time it’s “Sugar
Busters!" The book makes
being trim sound painless.
“Meats are a basic in the
“Sugar Busters!" way of eating;
not necessarily fat meats, but
trimmed, lean meats.
To stay slim, however, eating
a patty of ground beef or ham
burger steak with a salad and
a green vegetable is better than
eating chicken with a baked
potato or fish with corn on the
cob and slices or rolls of white
bread.”
The following recipe from the
book is one to get us started in
the meat category:
Cajun Pot Roast
For beef, pork, lamb, veni
son, duck, dove, quail, or yes,
even a mixture of the above!
Meat of your choice
Italian salad dressing
Olive oil
Mixed seasoning
Black pepper
4 oz. water
Marinate your roast or birds
in Italian salad dressing for 2
hours or even overnight. Use
an appropriate-size plastic bag
to reduce the amount of dress
ing required; about half of a
large bottle is usually plenty.
Cover the bottom of an iron
Dutch oven with about 1/8
inch of olive oil. Turn heat to
high and brown meat on all
sides. Sprinkle moderately to
heavily with mixed seasoning
and black pepper. Add about 4
oz. of water, and if you want a
richer gravy, add a portion of
the marinade.
Cover immediately; turn
heat to low so liquid drops to a
slow bubbling. Cook large
roasts for 3 hours and small
roasts or fowl for 2 to 2 1/2
hours. Check occasionally to

On the road for Christ
Perry couple
planning mission
trip to Africa
By CHARLOTTE PERKINS
Home .lourmac Staff
when Samuel and Sherri Bixler, and tEeir
little son, Christian, leave for Ghana later
this month, they’ll be travelling on a slender
budget made up of donations from many
Christian friends and funds Sam has raised
through a unique line of work making ani
mals of balloons and entertaining both chil
dren and adults in local restaurants and at
Macon Whoopee games.
The two will serve as missionaries with the
Family Care Foundation., a non-denomina
tional Christian mission which helps where
help is needed most working with the poor
and responding to disasters of all kinds.
Sherri Bixler, a native of Jamaica, who has
spent much of her life in the mission field as
-th** child of missionaries, says that much of
their work will be in personal witnessing, but
they will also go “wherever there’s a need" to
help in humanitarian efforts and relief work.
Sam. the son of Herb and Delores Bixler, has
been in mission work for four years.
“I’m just some
body who loves
ihe Lord and
wants to make a
difference in the
world,” he says.
They have
made one mis
sion trip already
a year and a
half stint in Mex
ico where they
worked in areas
of extreme pover
ty. In Ghana,
they will join a
mission center in
Accra.
For those who
want to donate
to this venture,
or learn more
about the
Bixlers' plans,
the family can
be -reached at
987-9858.
the Guerras will be the speakers.
A special offering will be taken on
Sunday night for the Maranatha
church and ministry.
Phelps said, “I don’t know of
two pastors who are doing so
much with so little of this world’s
resources. By choice, they live in a
very poor section of Reynosa and
are ministering Jesus to people in
a loving, unselfish and powerful
way.
“Not only do they minister to
their flock’s spiritual needs, but
they often help witfi clothing and
other material needs," he said.
Club advisors are Susan Pierce
and Beverly Todd.
The Junior Civitan Club is a
service organization involving
school and community projects
and South Georgia District and
Junior Civitan International pro
jects.
