Prickly Pear harvest at Market
Prickly pear fruit or "tunas" are turning red and ripe and are very abundant this year from last summer's rains. To harvest use gloves and tongs to twist the fruit without getting stickered with tiny spines. Before harvesting from a particular plant, make a slit in the fruit with a knife and sample. Some prickly pears are bland, some are bitter and some are sweet. Pick a white 5 gallon bucket or more of tunas. To prepare nectar, put tunas in a large pot with lid with an inch of water in the bottom. Cook them until they are soft and easily mashed. Mash well and dump pulp into a colander over a large bowl. To ensure no spines or debris pour liquid through a strainer.

Multi-lingual churches
Multi-lingual churches since the first Pentecost 50 days after Christ's resurrection, preaching the Gospel and worshiping the Triune God in languages other than Hebrew and Aramaic have spread across the globe. The New Testament is a Greek document. Rome's Latin was not the lingua franca of the Mediterranean world - Greek was. Thus, the early Church became a multi-lingual communion of believers very early in its history.
