John’s Energy Bars…

My friend John Dalen has significant challenges from autism, but that hasn’t kept him from setting goals. Through his local autism resource center, John was given the opportunity to make a recipe for a nutritious energy bar. And today, with the help of his family, John bakes (and sells) his Essential Energy Bars from his home in Arizona. Recently he sent me a package — I took my first bite and, oh my goodness, they’re delicious! Aside from the healthy ingredients, what makes them special are John’s prayers. He wrote: “Joni, I pray before making each batch of bars, that those who enjoy them will be nourished by God in a special way.” So join me in encouraging John to pursue his dreams by posting him a note. (And next time you’re in Phoenix and want to try John’s yummy bars, let our Joni and Friends Arizona team know and they will get you in contact with him).
