FAQ Frequently asked questions on merchant cash advance consolidation.
What is a merchant cash advance consolidation?
A merchant cash advance consolidation is usually one large loan used to payoff several smaller cash advances. The goal is to lower total daily payments by extending the term, lowering the rate, or both. However, there are several programs that work differently to lower your payments. Not all of these programs will help your business, so contact us to discuss
I want a merchant cash advance consolidation. How do I qualify?
Keep paying all your current advances on time
Wait until 30 days after the most recent cash advance if possible before applying for a consolidation. Most consolidation requests are declined if a business took out a cash advance in the last 30 days. Lenders want to see how a business is paying the most recent advance before a consolidation request is approved.
Your business should not have more than five overdrafts or five NSFs per month. Then complete the 30 second application above.
How can I get the best Merchant Cash Advance Consolidation?
Complete the one page application. Provide information on the existing advances. Give the approximate balance and the daily payment. List how many months are left on the existing merchant cash advances. Determine how much per day, week and month your business can afford.
A business may be able to cut their monthly payment up to 50% to 75%. As an example a business has a $3000 monthly payment on two merchant cash advances combined. By paying those off with one 48 month loan, the payment can be cut as much as $1750 per month. By doing so the business now has an extra $1750 per month cash flow. It can use the savings for other business expenses.
How much can I save per day or per week?
In most cases, your business can lower payments between 25% and 50%.
How does the consolidation work?
Your business submits an application and the most recent three months bank statements. Your business cash flow is analyzed to determine what your business can successfully pay in full. If it is determined that your business can pay a lower amount for a longer term, an offer may be made. Your current advances are either paid off or the daily payment is covered while you pay a much lower amount for a longer period of time.
Do you offer reverse consolidations?
Yes, we offer reverse consolidation options
What is a reverse consolidation
In reverse consolidation of mca merchant cash advances the merchant lowers their daily as well as weekly and monthly payments by having their total debt extended for a longer period of time
h5>How does a reverse consolidation work?
In a reverse consolidation, the current mca merchant cash advances are covered and paid on a weekly basis. An amount equal to one week of all mca payments are deposited into the business checking account of the merchant. The business then makes a reduced longer term daily payment to repay the reverse consolidation financing. The consolidation financing is for a longer term and often a lower rate than the merchants current mca advances. This allows the merchant to have a lower daily payment and improve their daily and weekly cash flow. Payments are often between 20% to 50% lower than their current advances.
Can you consolidate business debt?
You can consolidate business debt. There are several programs available to consolidate business debt. Other consolidation programs include consolidating merchant cash advances. Real Estate or other assets may be required to qualify for the consolidation of business debt. Some program options include a monthly payment and favorable early payoff options. Other features include higher consolidation approval amounts with high credit bureau scores or using real estate or other assets as collateral.

Some businesses have more than one merchant cash advance. Some businesses have 2, 3 or more short term advances. Due to the monthly cash flow impact, they cannot pay the advances and need cash flow relief. They need to either consolidate or extend the term.

We try to tie payment frequency to your deposit volume. In consolidations, the main things at are looked at are:
The repayment history on current advances.
– If we are materially cheaper, and if your business has been able to pay your existing higher cost advances with minimal NSFs, we will aggressively pursue a consolidation.
– Deposit volume and consistency are reviewed. If deposits vary significantly from month to month, we will typically look at the lowest month when calculating an amount to offer. Up to 1.25 times your deposits with a 6 to 12 month term are offered.
– (NSF) insufficient funds and overdraft frequency are looked at.

1. Advances are available in almost all states EXCEPT California. Term loans are available.

2. Your future consolidation advance acts like more of a line of credit than a typical advance — a merchant can request additional capital at anytime from us. We will quickly re-underwrite it with no fee and offer additional funds and keep your scheduled payment the same.
You do not have to pay off our advance with us in order to get more capital. This holds true if your business requests more capital after one month, or after six months. Your business saves money at renewal. Your business will not pay interest on interest if you renew for premium programs.
– No origination or underwriting fees unless three or more advances are consolidated. Then those fees are still lower, $250 to consolidate 3 to 4 advances, $500 to $750 for 5 or more advances). No NSF fees or other junk fees are charged.
– The maximum initial advance or loan is $100,000.
– This is first position funding only. This funding can be the only funding following a consolidation. A standard line of credit, credit card split loan, traditional bank loan.

This reader opines that the local banks should file criminal charges against people who disclosed the alleged accounts, for the banks' very integrity is at stake. At the rate the laws governing local and foreign deposits are being violated, the dollar depositors will flee from our shores, thus negating the purpose for which these were enacted, i.e, to beef up our foreign reserves.
Another reader opined that since LRA's Eulalio Diaz got away with perjury and lies the first time, the prosecution through OMB is again using the same foul tactics, which should be immediately and decisively exposed.
There is a clamor for the Senate to subpoena AMLC executive-director Vicente Aquino, the bank managers involved in the supposed five banks and all the bank records pertaining to the accounts, such as like signature cards, written instructions of depositor, deposit/withdrawal slips---in order to establish the veracity/ or untruth of these accounts mentioned in OMB's presentation. This is a sensible suggestion that the Senate should act on ASAP, if only out of justice and fairness to respondent Renato Corona.

Shows that are of a uniform sound get rather boring at times. There are some nights when I leave a venue having seen a handful of indie rock or punk bands and I have trouble remembering who was who. Which band with the shaggy hair, plaid shirts, and beards played that one song I probably drank too much to remember anyway? I take it as a breath of fresh air when tours come together, or a mish-mash of local bands decide to play together and not a single damn one of them are even comparable.
A last-minute addition of Cheyenne Marie Mize pushed the night to an earlier start time of 9:30. The Louisville native ran through a quick set of medium-bodied songs that made a pinball effect from Appalachian folk and country, to devil-may-care femme rock icons like PJ Harvey, all while straddling a sweet-toothed pop sensibility. The live renditions of her songs didn't come across quite as cavernous as some of her studio-recorded material, but they resonated well within the walls of the Recordbar just the same.
Kansas City three-piece Gemini Revolution began assembling their stage ensemble by setting up a cheap folding table with a Moog, then aiming a light projector at the giant, white sheet that was hanged behind the drum kit. Guitarist Dedric Moore and programmer/keyboardist Delaney Moore, both of whom co-founded the local space rock collective Monta at Odds, were backed up by the spastic free jazz drumming of Mika Tayana. The set was at times caustic, but maintained a freely flowing vibe above the pretension that often comes with electronic-based psychedelia. The creeped-out, '70s Italian b-movie synth break midway through the set is a more common occurrence for their full-time project, but the addition of Mika's spoken word throughout added that much more of a performance art vibe.
The crowd was slowly thinning out as Sister Crayon began at 11:30. Undeterred, the Sacramento band played a kinetic set to an audience that all but ignored the quartet, who except for vocalist Terra Lopez remained shrouded in a mountain of drum machines and keyboards. Lopez wildly danced around to the music, pale arms and jet black hair flailing and flipping about while the singer hit some rather operatic notes amid the brain-shaking bass from programmer Dani Fernandez. There was nary a guitar on stage save for keyboardist Jeff LaTour bringing one out temporarily, and even then it served mostly as a pick-scratching post. At their best, the band called to mind Portishead during the trip-hop feasts of "Here We Never Die" and "Anti-Psalm" — at their worst, they resembled a more sufferable Imogen Heap.
The attendance greater waned before Capture the Flag closed out the night at 12:30. Former frontman for a variety of (for better or worse) forgotten Warrensburg bands (Nephesh, Sunday Blackout) Micah Jacobsen paired up with guitarist Adam Zarda (yes, that Zarda) to make some unabashedly radio-friendly rock supported by a drummer and laptop-supplied backtracking. The band ran through the entirety of their recently self-recorded and self-released debut album in just over 30 minutes, with little banter but much appreciation for the handful of those that remained. I once read a truth that critics like for things to come in threes, so the band's combination of pop, punk, and indie rock melting together in an enjoyable fusion was just a bonus.

UC Davis Stories Inspire of Poetic Address to the Nation
By Imagining America | March 10, 2017
In January, Imagining America (IA) and UC Davis brought together students, community members, and faculty in stories circles as part of the People's State of the Union, an annual initiative of the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture (USDAC).
The People's State of the Union, started in 2015, is an invitation to supplement the president's address by coming together in communities to share personal reflections on the state of the union in story circles. Inspired by these stories, a group of renowned poets compose responses, performed and broadcast live in The Poetic Address to the Nation.
Larry Bogad, Professor of Theatre & Dance in Performance Studies at UC Davis, reflected on the event at UC Davis:
"Yesterday I was in Davis for a story circle organized by IA and USDAC, of which I'm a Cabinet member. We were all there to share stories and perspectives, respectfully, about our sense of the state of the union. This was for our nationwide People's State of the Union campaign that we've done every year for a couple of years.
"There we were–a group of many classes, racial and gender identities, many professions and perspectives. Some had connections to the university (students, grad students, staff, professors), and others were local community members. Taking equal time to actually listen to each other and reflect. No crosstalk, no interruptions, no elite people hogging the microphone. An African-American scholar and professor telling us of his own son staying inside for well-justified fear of racist brutality; A Chicanx professor telling of how she still gets harassed on campus and presumed guilty of crime because of her skin color. Youth and community members reflecting on inspiring stories of successful resistance on a daily basis, those small victories that add up to a progressive social movement.
"It was humble, it was real, it was honest, it was unsentimental and unpretentious, straightforward and so complex. It was a true encuentro and there will be many more as we build this partnership of ours. The Union is in grave danger. But the People are beautiful. Venceremos, venceremos, venceremos, ohmmmm…."
Tune in this Saturday, March 11, to the 2017 Poetic Address to the Nation, hosted by the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and emceed by Chinaka Hodge. Together with musicians, poets, and others, the performance will address the Trump administration and the nation through the words of the people. USDAC is a people-powered department—a grassroots action network inciting creativity and social imagination to shape a culture of empathy, equity, and belonging.
UC Davis will host the 17th Annual National IA Conference in Davis, California, October 12-14, 2017. IA seeks thoughtful, critical, and artistic session proposals that engage with Communities, Arts, Lands, and Learning (C.A.L.L.). Read the call for proposals. The deadline for submissions is March 20. IA will move its national headquarters from Syracuse University to UC Davis in the summer of 2017.

Verizon and Redbox Partnership to Offer Netflix Alternative
>By Chris West

It is their goal to bring consumers a simple and affordable way to access the media they're looking for. This new service would offer instant access to online and mobile content, and immediate access to physical media through kiosks.
The idea behind the partnership can be seen illustrated in the info-graphic released by the companies, below.
The new service is set to be released in the second half of 2012. Verizon will have control over this new venture, taking 65% ownership. More details about the brand and product information will be released in the coming months.
Bob Mudge, President of Verizon Consumer and Mass Business Markets:

"The joint venture will combine the accessibility and value of Redbox with Verizon's vision for a borderless lifestyle – where consumers easily accomplish what they want or need to do, on their terms, through the power of the network."
"Together, we are erasing old technology boundaries, freeing people to spontaneously enjoy the entertainment they want, whenever they choose, using the devices and media they prefer, at home or away."
Paul Davis, Chief Executive Officer of Coinstar, Inc:
"Consumers rely on Redbox for the latest new release movies at a great value, and our joint venture with Verizon will enable us to bring them even more value by offering expanded content offerings and greater flexibility for how and when they enjoy entertainment."
"This alliance is the result of a deliberate and strategic process to identify a partner who shares our commitment to delivering innovative solutions to consumers. We look forward to rolling out the shared benefits this venture will bring to consumers, retailers, and shareholders."

LAKE CITY, Fla. – The victims in a double shooting early Saturday morning outside the Elks Lodge in Lake City have been released from the hospital and are recovering. Late Wednesday night, the suspect in the shooting surrendered to the Columbia County Sheriff's Office
Security guard Niaja Bowles, 33, and bystander Alvia Lee, 37, were shot about 2:30 am. outside the club on Northeast Washington Street.
The suspect, 29-year-old Robert Church, turned himself in at the Columbia County Detention Facility Wednesday. Church was booked on aggravated battery, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and discharging a firearm in public. Church is being held with no bond.
Deputies said an argument between two unknown women and a man began in the club at closing time. Deputies said the on-sight security guard, Bowles, tried to separate the people involved and escorted them outside.
Authorities said once outside, Bowles fell to the ground during a struggle. Deputies said Church went to a vehicle in the parking lot, retrieved a handgun and returned. They said Church shot the guard once and fled the area.
The bullet that passed through the guard also stuck Lee.

Do we belong there or do we not? It doesn't matter how you would answer that because we are there. We're tired, and we can't see the end. We can't even console ourselves that our enemy is just as tired as we are. Because they're not. It is a fallacy that prolonged war will weaken an occupied enemy. It most likely will make your enemy stronger. They get used to the deprivation, and they adapt and respond accordingly. While here at home with every death reported we have to deal with a public-opinion trajectory that slides rapidly from supportive to negative to downright hostile. People just get sick and tired of a moment's silence at a ball game.They just wanna be told that it's over.Ed Hoffman
Our enemy has realized that they are fighting guys from the future. Now, ahem, it is as brilliant as it is infuriating. If you live like it's the past, and you behave like it's the past then guys from the future find it very hard to see you. If you throw away your cell phone, shut down your e-mail pass all your instructions face-to-face, hand-to-hand turn your back on technology and just disappear into the crowd No flags. No uniforms. You got your basic grunts on the ground there. They're looking going, "Who is it we're fighting?" In a situation like this, your friends dress just like your enemies and your enemies dress like your friends. What I need you to fully understand is that these people, they do not wanna negotiate. Not at all. They want the universal caliphate established across the face of the Earth and they want every infidel converted or dead.Ed Hoffman
So, what's changed is that our allegedly unsophisticated enemy has caughten on to the factually unsophisticated truth...we're an easy target. We are an easy target and our world as we know it is a lot simpler to put to an end than you might think.Ed Hoffman
People are stupid. Torture doesn't work. Under torture, a man will say almost anything to make the pain stop. You have experience with this, I am sure.Hani

Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake
This pregnancy is wrapping up fast. The, I only have a week left, kind of fast. I am just wondering when he will decide to make his big debut! I have been the biggest procrastinator getting things ready for this baby boy of mine. I finally got around to washing his clothes LAST night. As the time is drawing near to delivery, it makes me a both excited and sad all at the same time. Sad you ask? Yes, because I am one of those women that seriously LOVES being pregnant. I love feeling the baby move inside me, I love watching my tummy grow and I love the anticipation of the arrival of the new little one. I also LOVE eating and feel I can get away with it a lot more when pregnant ;) Food baby=the real baby haha!
One thing I have specifically been craving this last stretch of pregnancy is lemon. Not full blown-in-your-face lemon, but desserts with a subtle hint of it. Even thinking about this recipe makes me want to hop up and go make a batch of it right this instant. Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake. It is AMAZING! It melts in your mouth and is full of refreshing delicious flavor. My family could not stop raving about it.
- 1 cup butter
- 1¾ cups sugar
- zest of one lemon
- 3 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¾ cup buttermilk
- 3 cups fresh blueberries
- 2½ cups flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, cream butter, sugar, and lemon zest together for 3 to 5 minutes.

- In a separate large bowl, mix and combine dry ingredients together.
- Add dry ingredients alternatively with the buttermilk to the butter/sugar/lemon zest/egg mixture. Fold in blueberries.
- Grease and flour either 2 large bread pans or 3 small bread pans.
- Pour batter and bake at 350 degrees F for 55 to 60 min.

I know when you told me last fall that you love the feeling of being pregnant, I thought, more power to you girl. Me...not so much :) This cake is gorgeous! I wish I had a huge slice right now! Pinned
I guess we were both in a lemon pound cake mood this week! It is the best, especially with the blueberries!
Hey, home stretch. You're almost done! Then you'll have your bladder back. :)
In the top part of reciepe hiw much vanilla.ut just says 1/2?
I am wondering the same thing. I'm ready to run to the grocery store to grab blueberries right this minute cause this cake looks AWESOME. But how much Vanilla?? I mean you can't really go wrong if you use half a tablespoon vs half a teaspoon with most recipes! Sometimes I add extra vanilla anyway cause I love vanilla. But with it being a lemon pound cake, I'd stick with probably half a teaspoon!
I live lemon and blueberries together and have been looking for a good recipe! I can't wait to make this just need to know if it is a teaspoon of vanilla or tablespoon?

The up close and personal photo up there has me drooling! Just gorgeous. I had great pregnancies too (4!) so I can relate. Take care and enjoy the remaining time before baby.
This is making my mouth water. That photo is beautiful! I can't wait to try it.
Matt Robinson
Love this Nikki! Best of luck to you and that is so exciting! Naomi is due with our little guy on the 28th, so we are in the same mode.
Michelle @ Life on the Horizon
This looks DELICIOUS! One week? Oh how exciting. Prepare for the most exciting time of your life!
Laura@Baking in Pyjamas
That looks utterly delicious, I love the crackly glaze on top. Pinned!
Chloe @ foodlikecake
This s pound cake looks gorgeous!
Lauren Everson
Congratulations! I know how you feel, I love(d) being pregnant too and thought I'd never want it to end. But now that I'm on bed rest and have 6wks (if we make it) to go, I'm ready for the little one to arrive. But I will miss feeling baby squirming around. Enjoy the home stretch and better yet, enjoy your little man once he gets here.
The pound cake looks beautiful, by the way.
your pound cake looks so yummy! Congratulations on one week left! Thank you for all you do
How much vanilla extract?
Stephanie @ Cookin' Cowgirl
This looks incredible!! My mom would just DIE if I showed up at her place with this.....that lady loves her lemon, her blueberries, and her pound cake! It's like you crawled in her brain and made her favorite thing ever. :) Pinned!
Ahhh-mazing recipe! There;s something about that blueberry/lemon combo, delish! Thanks for sharing, all the hubby could say after enjoying a warm piece is "wow!" Shared the recipe!
Mary Lou Sirois
How much vanilla...there's an omission, must be a misprint.
Would this do well in a bundt pan???
Arnetta Holifield
I have the recipe for the Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake from chief Nikki. I want to know if I could put the mixture in a bundt pan and the amount of time it would take to cook it. Thanks a million!
George Harris
Baking powder is a problem for me. Can you substitute baking soda If so, how much?
This looks SOOOOO dang good! I want some right now. I absolutely love the combination of blueberries & lemon-perfection! And hey guess what? I'm another gal who loves to be pregnant too! It's such a mystery and such a special thing to be growing another human being inside yourself. Super cool and awe inspiring! We are currently expecting our 3rd and I'm due in late August-we can't wait!! :))
Ed M
If the taste of the batter is any indication this is going to be out of this world. The other reason I'm going to keep this recipe....it is so dang easy! So with easy and yummy....and it makes 2 loaves,-one to send to work with my wife and one for me to take to work...that's the trifecta! Working at our Vacation Bible School this evening so when we get home, make the glaze and make a LOT of people very happy. Thanks. And God's Blessings on your family.
Jan Sigl
The lemon blueberry recipe has an error in it... It says 1/2 vanilla..... Do you mean 1/2 tsp of vanilla???
Did this miss the editor before it went up on your website????
Chef in Training
1/2 tsp. just updated the recipe. Thanks for bringing that to my attention :)
Patricia Ignatowicz
Has anyone tried to use a bundt pan with this recipe? I am making it for a dinner party and thought it would look fancier. I would appreciate any feedback.
Nancy Moore
This recipe is wonderful! Thanks for sharing it!
can I use a bundt pan?
This recipe is amazing! Fluffy, delicious, perfection!
I see theres several with the same question I have, can a bundt pan be used? Im thinking yes. Just have to keep an eye on how long to cook it.
I have made this twice in a Bundt pan, and both times it has stuck to the pan when I tried to remove it. The blueberries did sink to the bottom, so I will try it again using the suggestion to toss the blueberries with flour, and maybe leaving it sit in the pan longer than 15 minutes. It didn't matter, I just scraped the cake out of the pan and glued it all together with the glaze. I took it to a friends house, and we decided to call it "Blueberry Bob," so people wouldn't think it was a disaster! It still tasted amazing and was a big hit. I wonder how long it should be left in a bread pan?
Sarah Jones
I have made this several times its delicious! My guests thought so too :)
This is delicious! Question though... all the blueberries sunk to the bottom of the pans during baking. What did I do wrong that they didn't stay put and float through the whole cake??
I've seen in other recipes, to shake the bluebuerries with some flour before putting in the batter. I'm going to try that when I make this today. It looks delish!
I was watching an episode of Barefoot Contessa who coated her blueberries in a little bit flour and said that prevents them from sinking to the bottom.
But I followed the recipe as is and didn't have any issues with them sinking. My batter was very thick.
Joan Best
Really loved this pound cake, couldn't wait to make it. The batter was delicious also could keep my spoon out of it.
I'm not a big fan of blueberries, so used raspberries instead. So delicious!!
I am from the south and our pound cakes always have way more eggs than 3. This sounds more like a bread since it is cooked in a loaf pan. Your pics look absolutely delish! l cant wait to make it! l might put more eggs in it like traditional pound cakes. l recently made a 5 flavor pound cake and it had 6 jumbo eggs in it. Anyway, it is a totally different texture than a regular cake with 3 eggs in it. It was quite heavy and everyone did love it. l am looking to making yours and feeding my blueberry lemon loving bunch this!!! thanks for posting!
Julie Bates
I made this and WOW!!! Delicious!
Dwight Kincaid
I am going to try making this and substituting fresh huckleberries, since we just picked them recently. Any thoughts on changes I should make by doing this? More sugar maybe, or just keep everything the same?
Sandy Naylor
This cake was fabulous! I used a bundt pan and it worked perfectly, but you have to really grease and flour your pan. I also baked it for a longer period of time and used the extra glaze to frost the lemon cookies that are also found on this blog!
Can this be made with frozen blueberries too? and is it the same amount? I have 8 lbs of frozen blueberries.
I am also wondering about substituting frozen blueberries for the fresh. Can it be done while expecting the same outcome and how much?
I used frozen both times I've made this recipe, but I let them thaw in a colander and allowed all liquid to drain.
Hi there, I wld love to give this cake a try but I can't get buttermilk from when I'm from. What can I use instead? Fresh milk? Thanks so much :)
You can make butter milk by simply adding a tsp of vinegar to 1 cup of your milk. Let it sit a few minutes and boooom! Buttermilk!
Leah Arthur
Thank you for the recipe!
Even tho it didn't say, I added the vanilla after step 3. I used frozen blueberries, dusted with flour, which worked well. Lastly, I used a well greased/floured Bundt pan, and baked at 350° for 60 minutes. Turned out great!
Did you use plain flour. ..not self-rising?
Chef in Training
i used all purpose :)
Estella Reyes
it look yummy want to try it love blueberry and lemon
Hi! Just wondering if I can use blueberry in can or frozen blueberries what alternative fruits that I can use. Thanks
Mary Myers
Tha Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake look great. My daughter is going to make it for me today.
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh for the blueberry loaf recipe? Do I still use the same amount?
Gab Lim
I just want to ask. I'm from the Philippines and i'm having a hard time looking for the buttermilk. They rarely sell it in here. Is there any substitute for the buttermilk?
You can mix a spoonful of white vinegar in regular milk and let it sit for a few minutes!
Can I use plain flour or cake flour?
I LOVE this pound cake!!! Could it be made with frozen blueberries? If so would anything need to be modified?
Question...In the top part of the recipe says 1/2 tsp. vanilla and in the glaze also calls for 1/4 tsp. vanilla, but nowhere in the recipe except for the glaze does it call for the 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Should that have been included in the butter/sugar/lemon zest/egg mixture?
I was wondering the same thing. I actually forgot to add it the first time because it never listed it
Kathy Nichols
although I agree on the taste being delicious all three times I have made this all of the blueberries end up at the bottom. I have even tried to put half in the batter and half on top just before baking. Any suggestions on how to get a better distribution of the blueberries?
Chef in Training
I have heard that rolling the berries in flour before putting them in the batter can help them stay in place better :) Hope that helps you, please keep me posted if it does :)
Virginia Davis
I will surely try your Lemon Blueberry. Pound Cake. The recipe looks easy to follow. Thank you!
Shirley Hewlett
Excellent Recipe
Jackie Collins
I was looking at some of the recipes and was wondering, when it just says flour, can you use self-rising or all-purpose flour? Thanks
Chef in Training
I use all purpose unless I specify otherwise :)
Jo H
This cake is AMAZING!!! Whenever I make it, it goes quickly. I will be making more today. Thanks for sharing.
This lemon, blueberry pound cake is delicious! I made this last week and both cakes disappeared overnight! I made two more a few days later to take to a going away luncheon. Those two cakes also disappeared in the blink of an eye! I used buttermilk (and added a half teaspoon baking soda and decreased the baking powder) and also added a few pinches of edible lavender to both the batter and the icing. My lovely daughter-in-law to be asked me to make the cakes for her birthday!
Any suggestions on how to modify if I just want to make 1 regular sized loaf? Not sure how to half the eggs.
Nikki May
This is currently in the oven.. I left out the blueberries because I just really wanted to make something kinda sweet and i have no blueberries in my house at the moment. Can't wait to try it!!
i wonder if i can use lime instead of lemons y live in mexico and sometimes its hard to get lemons
This was incredible. Thank you so much for sharing. I used a bag of frozen blueberries, which I thawed in a colander in the sink and then tossed with a spoonful of flour. Out of this world delicious-- and I'm SO glad it made 2 loaves, because I can't stop eating it! :)
I made this and the middle didnt raise, Why would this happen. Tasted great though.
This is simply the BEST blueberry pound cake ever. It is sinfully good. I was going to give the second one to a neighbor but my husband wouldn't hear of it. So happy that I froze so many quarts of blueberries last summer! Thank you very much for this recipe.
Karen mueller
how much is the zest of 1 lemon?
This recipe soumd delicious. Would it be okay to use a bunt pan, if you dont have bread pans?
I used a bundt pan for mine. I had enough batter left over that I put it in a bread pan, too. It was awesome!
this looks great! but can someone please tell me the dimensions of a "large bread pan"??? thanks :)
9"x5" worked very well for me.
Eda Khan
Can u give me the exact size of the baking tin.
I tried this recipe twice, both with frozen blueberries. I didn't wash or thaw them at all. But I dusted the buleberries with some flour and very quickly adding them to the batter. The buleberries didn't fall into the buttom of the pan. I also greased the pans really really well too. It turned out great. Delicious !!
Sharleen Miller
I made this on Sunday because the kids were visiting. OMG. ITS ALL GONE. The lemon and the blueberry together was amazing.
Made this pound cake with my mom. It was really good. Thank you for posting!
This is a favorite at my work. And it is now blueberry season. So I go to the local blueberry farm and pick A LOT of blueberries to freeze. Blueberries through the winter !!!
The step to add the vanilla to the batter was omitted.
love this recipe! I cooked it in a bundt cake pan and my blueberries went to the bottom, what went wrong?
I've got 2 round cake pans in the oven now. I added lemon juice to milk to substitute the buttermilk. I also used mulberries off my trees, since they are in season. I bet orange juice and zest would be great w cranberries or mulberries. I also used a gluten free rice blend.
This is a phenomenal recipe. Very easy to make and super delicious. I thought the batter was yummy enough but the finished product is spectacular. Thank you for a life long-keeper!
This is such an awesome recipe! It's got a perfect balance of flavoring, and is great for a yummy dessert, an anytime snack or a brunch! This is a new favorite in our house!
Would it be ok to substitute buttermilk for heavy cream?
When do I add the vanilla, in step 2 or 3?
Kit Missera
Followed recipe exactly. Yum.
Thank you so much for this recipe! It was a HUGE hit. My husband doesn't really care for blueberries, but he absolutely loved this. This recipe is a keeper!
Blueberry season just started here and when I bought some wild ones I knew I had to try this recipe. It came out excellent! Sure going in my favourite list :)
The pound cake itself is quite good, but I'd have liked a bit more lemon flavor in the cake [rather than the glaze] to compliment the rich buttery base.
Hello can you substitute blackberries for the blueberries? This cake looks delicious. A friend saw picture of a lemon blackberry buttermilk pound cake in a magazine however but she didn't purchase magazine. I have been looking online for a recipe fitting these specifications. I may wing it and see how it turns out.
Mmmm the kitchen smells wonderful as these are baking in the oven right now. I did have to use Splenda in place of the sugar, but I am sure they will still taste amazing! Thanks for the recipe! My husband and I are anticipating the first slice.
Dianne M
This looked ssssoooo good to me that it's in my oven right this very minute, 55 mins is way too long to wait for this heavenly concoction. But it smells so good,I think it's secretly telling me to eat it now....lol.
Thank you so very much for sharing and posting.
Dianne M in Texas
I somehow skipped the vanilla because it wasn't in the directions but just in the ingredient list for the cake. Just wanted to let you know in case somebody else makes the same mistake. I am just hoping it turns out ok!
Thank you for another great recipe! So delicious! I put all the batter in a bundt pan also. I made sure that I got all of the crevices with the grease and flour and the cake came out fine. However, the blueberries sunk to the bottom for me too. So next time I will toss them with flour!
Sheila Diaz
I loved the Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake that a friend made and she sent me the link with your recipe. It lists 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla in the ingredients but the instructions do not tell us to add the vanilla. I just added it in step #2 and I think it turned out okay. My family loves it!
Would this work as an actual cake with 2 cake rounds?
This cake is superb. So easy to make and so delicious.
I'm baking this recipe now. Smells so good. :)
I plan to make this tomorrow for a group of 8 and was wondering ,hoping you can answer promptly ; will this work in a bundt pan?
Thank you :)
I made this for my mom's birthday and she absolutely loves it!
I had reduced the sugar level to about 1/2 cup of brown sugar and another 1/2 cup of white sugar.
Turned the cake slightly brownish.
Did you use just white sugar for yours?
i came across this recipe and decided to try it. My family and friends LOVE IT. It's super easy and comes out perfect everytime. It's a really great recipe!
looks delicious. can this be made in a bundt pan? thank you :)
Bonnie S
Are these to sit in the pan for a bit to cool & then turn out & cool completely??
Yummy ! I doubled the amount of lemon zest because I like things lemon-y ......and, since raspberries were on sale, I made this with those - cut in half and tossed in flour before adding to the batter. Thanks for a great recipe !
it is mouth watering and I will make it tomorrow!
This is a great recipe, so delicious! This is a great recipe, so delicious! I love this, and make it all the time. The problem I always have is that it sinks while cooling, and almost seems undercooked. We eat it anyway (around the soft parts). I'm just not sure how to adjust the baking time/temp to get it right. Any suggestions?
Made it tonight !! Wow it turned out extremely delicious !!!!! I can't stop eating it .
Jane Nielsen
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?
Chef in Training
yes you sure can :)
Is this plain or self raising flour please
Chef in Training
all purpose :)
we only got canned blueberries... will these do?
I'm wondering if this can be frozen before putting on the glaze?
Can't wait to try this . My two favorite flavours.
Esther Mutero
It looks easy, hope it comes.out well when I try it this weekend. Thanks very much for the recipe.
I threw my diet aside & had to run out & buy stuff to make this today. One of the best things I've ever made! I ate so much tonight I made myself sick. Sooooo good!
Making this right now ill let u know how it came out
Libby Nolan
Yes I used a bundt pan and it worked great!
Hi. I see that you used a bundt pan for the lemon blueberry cake. How long did you bake at 350? Lots have said they used a bundt pan but no one said for how lone... Thanks!
shirley Larson
What is a large pan, and what is a small pan? I was hoping one large pan recipe would fit in 3 mini pans. I'm hoping to 1 and half this recipe and make 9 mini loafs for a bake sale.
Karen Dixon
hi love this I've made it twice now but I did notice that in the ingredients calls for vanilla in the cake and the glaze but the instructions the cake does not tell when to add I did know when but thought you'd like to know .Also do you do anything with black currents
I just found your recipe, and my son love blueberry and I want to make this for him, I would like to know what size pan it says 2 large bread pans and 3 small could you specify the size. Thanks
I just made this and it's amazing!! Do you know if I need to refrigerate this after day 1? Don't want it to spoil! Thanks so much for the tasty recipes!!!
Linda L
I just made this cake and OMG it has to be one of the Best cakes I've ever made. I used a Bundt pan instead of loaf pan so it need longer time to cook. its 5 Stars...and beyond...
This is awesomely delicious!
can I use or add lemon extract?
Baked this tonight, exactly as specified in recipe. It was TO DIE FOR!! Thank you!
Great look cake! I have decided to use a bundt pan and an extra small loaf pan. It's all in the oven and looking good. I used frozen blueberries but let them thaw first and even without flouring them, they didn't sink. I think because of how thick the batter turned out. Only one problem I had is that I almost left out the extract entirely because it wasn't included in the instructions. I hope you fix that soon. For the extract I used lemon hoping it will give it a more lemon taste. I really love lemon and sometimes cakes lose the flavor after they are cooked. So here's hoping I made a good choice.
Mmmm so good! I made this in a bundt pan, just make sure you grease and flour it because mine stuck a little. I also dusted the blueberries in flour and the remained in place. This is a very yummy pound cake! The only thing missing is some vanilla bean ice cream!
Barbara Duncan
Can you use a bundt pan to cook this in. Thanks
I have this cake in the oven right now, can't wait to try it!!
Rachana Kadikar
I have made this cake a few times now and it's a super hit with my friends and family! It is perfectly moist with a sweet and tangy taste of the blueberries and lemon. The lemon glaze just tops it off!
Cheryl Brunsting
This was absolutely the best pound cake I've ever tasted. Add in the lemon/blueberry flavors and it is over-the-top good! After making it to use up some blueberries and thinking I'd be the only one who liked it, I was surprised to hear my daughter asking me to make her some more. This recipe will be at the top of my cake list from now on!!
Just popped this in the oven! The batter was delicious on its own so I can't wait to taste it when it's done.
I'm looking to find how many calories per serving with this recipe.
Substitute for cream-1% Milk
Substitute for eggs-egg beaters
Used 3 cups of rice flower, 3.5 cups regular flower for two batches.
This is a fabulous recipe, you won't be disappointed!!
Does it freeze well, and if I freeze it, should I leave the glaze off?
Jamie thompson
What kind of flour? Plain, self rising or cake
Toni Franco
This looks moist and delicious I can't wait to make it. I have a question about the size of the pans can you please say the dimensions because I have many and what I call large or small you may not. Thank you so much!
Leigh Houston
I just made this for a school fundraiser. They turned out awesome! I followed the recipe exactly but made mini loaves (1-3/4 c size aluminum pan). One recipe made 7 loaves, maybe could have been 6 but I didn't want to have them run over the pan. It took 45 minutes for the mini loaves. I did use frozen blueberries because the berries are expensive here right now so that might have affected the cooking time. I will absolutely make this again!
Jacqueline Z
I make wedding cakes and I've been looking for a lemon blueberry cake to add to my flavors. What I love about this cake is that is light and not at all heavy like a pound cake. The batter is thick and I did use frozen berries but when it baked up it was so light just like my other butter cakes. I made it in three 6" round cake pans plus a 6" square pan. I was surprised at how high it baked up...it was lovely. I did squeeze into the batter the juice of 1/2 of a large lemon and replaced the vanilla extract with lemon oil but once baked it did not have a lemony enough flavor for me so that's why I'm giving it only 4 stars. Maybe I will try tweaking it more to get more of a lemony flavor but other than that it was delicious!
Nancy Greinke
Love this cake but I routinely have a problem with the glaze. It gets firm so fast that it's difficult to glaze the cake. I've been putting it in the microwave to loosen it up but wondering if I'm doing something wrong. I've used both a whisk and a spoon to mix the glaze ingredients. The glaze recipe calls for 1 1/2 C of powdered sugar. Is this correct? thanks!
Can I make this without using lemon zest? Is there a substitute for lemon zest? Will it taste differently if I don't use the lemon zest? Can I use clementines zest? Thanks.
Could you please tell me what type of suger is used- powered or granulated.
Nicole amaya
Delicious recipe in easy to make I'm really enjoying we mi family thanks for the recipe
I just made this and I hope it turns out as pretty as the picture but I will say the batter looked promising and smelled wonderful !
Can you cook this in a Bundy pan instead of loaf pans?
Made this and it was absolutely delicious!! But I think I either over mixed or under mixed batter because each loaf was only about 2 inches high. I used 2 9x5 pans. Can anybody advise me if that is how it is supposed to turn out? I want to make it again for a party but need your help first .Please respond.
I made this and it caved in the middle? But it still taste great!!!!
Great recipe! We added raspberries and blueberries. Yum!! Definitely be making it again and again.
Sue R
I made this today, and it is amazing! Light, sweet and tart!! Delicious! A spring time must!
Help! I LOVE this but my brother may have Celiac and needs Gluten free flour! Can you give me suggestions to pull this off & be delicious?
I made this delicious cake last Easter. I made it in a loaf pan. It was very pretty on display. It tastes of spring !!!! Everyone loved it -- sent everyone home with a slice for breakfast. Getting ready to make another this Easter. Thanks for the delicious recipe.
Kristen Bryant Slone
Hi--I just made your recipe, the whole house smells wonderful! I've not tasted it yet, but I was disappointed my loaves probably fell due to my altitude. we live at 7000 ft (near Colorado Springs and I came from sea level). I was hoping you or another reader may have some suggestions to help loaves rise in the middle. Thanks for your wonderful recipe!
This is by far the BEST Lemon Blueberry Pound Cake I've ever come across! Make it all the time and share the recipe a lot. Thank you!
This looks incredible! I want to make this for an event on Friday. Can I make it Thursday night and add the glaze Friday morning? Has anyone made it a day ahead of time?
Can you use a Bundt or tube pan instead and if so, how long and at what temp?
I made this tonight using a bundt pan and wish I'd read the comments first. All my blueberries sank to the bottom and it turned to mush basically. The top 2/3 of the cake set up great though, and after finagling the the blueberry mush out and put it on top and glazed everything. The taste was great and everyone loved it.
I will make this again for sure, when I do I'll cut the amount of blueberries by 1/3 and roll them in flour. Hopefully that will help!!

Hi, can i make this cake without egg and how?
This was sooooooo goood! I was spectical at first as to the few amount of ratings this had (around 50 at the time) but this turned out to be super moist, fluffy and the chewiest pound cake I've ever had. This turned out to be georgous, the family loved it, thank you so so so much for this recipe, we enjoyed this cake a lot! x
Janice Goetz
Could i make this in a bundt pan instead of 2 loaf pans
I have made this recipe MANY times since coming across it last year. Everyone loves it, it's super simple. I've used frozen and fresh blueberries and it always comes out delish...just melts in your mouth! Thanks for sharing!
Can I use self rising flour? If so how much?
Jordan Wilson
What kind of flour did you use
Chef in Training
I use all purpose flour
My coworker and her family are the ambassadors for our local March of Dimes and I've made these twice now for fundraisers and they are FANTASTIC ❤
It was amazing!! Thank you sooo much for the recipe. Im saving it to make it again and again. Family just loved it...Im a chocolate lover but just couldn't stop eating this cake! Keep up the good work.
After going blueberry picking I searched for recipes to use them in. I made this yesterday morning and brought it to my mama on Mother's Day. DELICIOUS!!! It's just enough lemon and just enough blueberry to make it yummy. Perfectly moist without being crumbly. I did only use 1 cup of sugar and thought it sweet enough for my taste. I will be transferring this recipe into my "Favorite Recipe" board.
Could raspberries be substituted for blueberries?
shirley a carr
Can I freeze this pound cake?
Narriman Ali Maraj (Mrs)
Any recipe that I try from chef in Training comes out very good especially the cookies and cake
Seth Harris
Just made the recipe but turned it into cupcakes. 30 minute baking time and they were perfect. My girlfriend and buddy both say they're the best they've ever had. Thank you!
Justine Perdue
I made mini pound cakes to give as Christmas gifts. They were a huge hit. Everyone loved them. The batch made 6 minis. I will definitely be keeping this recipe as an "every holiday dessert."
Karen Flowers
I never leave comments, but have made this several times and it is AMAZING! I make six mini loaves to ensure the middle bakes enough. Everyone who has eaten it LOVES it and asks for the recipe.
Beth Tanner
I made this yesterday. It is fantastic! Easy to make. I love lemon and blueberry!
My daughter and I just made these, we followed the recipe and it made 1 big loaf and 12 mini cupcakes (for the kids)..added a tiny bit more lemon juice to the glaze (we love lemons) and they turned out fantastic and delicious! 20 min for the 12 mini cupcakes. Thanks for sharing!!
I made this in the bundt pan, and I cooked it for an hour. It was perfect! I let it sit on site rack for 15 minutes before inverting and glazing. It fell out of pan perfectly. Just grease and flour well. Several had asked the bundt bake time, so this was my experience! Thanks for the recipe!
I have been using this recipe for the last four years. My family LOVES it! (And we are "food snobs.")
Thanks so much!
Chef in Training
Awe! I am so glad to hear that! Thank you so much for sharing!
Mary Carleton
I make this recipe all the time. Sometimes I make large muffins instead of pound cake. They are so light and fluffy.
Soo delicious!
My friends and family love them, whether it's cake or muffins
Thanks for the great recipe!
Hi just wondering if I should use salted or unsalted butter???
If I freeze this should I do it before or after I glaze it?

"Revolution Radio," Green Day's latest album, was released on Oct. 7, and the punk rock band's legions of fans in New York are clamoring to get Green Day Barclays Center tickets for its performance there on March 15 and experience live versions of those songs as well as several other famous hits. Fortunately, QueenBeeTickets.com has reduced prices on its tickets for Green Day's concert in Brooklyn.
Visit QueenBeeTickets.com to browse the inventory of Green Day tickets at reduced prices while seats last!
Several of those heading to Barclays Center for this Revolution Radio Tour stop have enjoyed this band's music since it broke through with "Dookie" in 1994, the group's third album and first to break into the charts, which it did with a flourish, reaching the second spot on the Billboard 200 and topping charts in Australia, Canada and New Zealand. The three songs from that album to top the Alternative Songs chart were "Longview," "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around," and fans are hoping to hear songs such as those on March 15.
Some who take advantage of the Green Day promo code that QueenBeeTickets.com has listed on its website will have recently enjoyed this band's music on Oct. 7 and 8, when it performed in more intimate venues in New York, the Rough Trade NYC and Webster Hall. They will have much more company when they use their Green Day Barclays Center tickets at that much larger venue, which can accommodate 19,000 for concerts.
QueenBeeTickets.com has affordable tickets to an impressive variety of sporting, musical and theatrical events taking place throughout the United States and Canada in addition to its tickets for Green Day's concert in Brooklyn. For example, Barclays Center itself is going to be a regular winter destination for Brooklyn Nets and New York Islanders fans as those seasons get started. As expected, tickets are selling quickly for each of those games.

Ciao ragazzi,

We slept in The Best Hotel, right you read that correctly, it wasn´t the best hotel, but the name of that only! I arrrived to the Milan Bergamo airport, where my friends from Czech were already waiting for me and then we traveled together to Milano City. We also wanted rent a car for the next day, but what do you thing guys that happend? Unfortunately, I was so busy to book one in advance, so we said we gonna find it straight in the city, but any of the cars wasn´t available… well it came to use a back up plan, and we didn´t have one, but we made it…. to take a train to Pisa, where we will stay for few hours…. Today is the 3rd day, so if you want to see, if we got to Pisa and saw the Pisa Tower, check me tomorrow.

Contributing greatly to the UK economy, NFAN members employ over 6000 local people, buy local produce, educate local school children, as well as provide the regions with excellent leisure destinations. NFAN members are collectively investing around £20m annually in developing and improving their attractions.
NFAN began in 1996 through the vision of Jim Keetch, a Farm Park owner in Weldon, Northants. He was the Chairman of the Northants Farm Attractions Group and travelled the country, attending agricultural shows encouraging other farm parks to join.
Jim Keetch passed away in 1998, but his name lives on through the Jim Keetch Farm Attraction of the Year Award now in its 14th year and through his pioneering work in setting up NFAN, a voice for the farm park industry.

Keppra Side Effects
Although most people tolerate the medication well, adverse effects are possible while taking Keppra. Some of the commonly reported side effects of the drug include drowsiness, weakness, and vomiting. When side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider. However, you should seek immediate medical attention if you develop any serious side effects of Keppra, like seizures that are becoming worse, depression, or hallucinations.
An Introduction to Keppra Side EffectsAs with any medicine, side effects are possible with Keppra® (levetiracetam). However, not everyone who takes the medication will have problems.

Former Newcastle United strike Nile Ranger has been arrested on suspicion of assault two weeks after leaving the club by mutual consent.
Ranger, 21, was arrested following reports of a fight between a couple in Newcastle city centre.
The London-born former England Under-19 player is currently being questioned in custody.
A Northumbria Police spokesman said: "At 7.09pm yesterday evening, police received a report of a fight in the car park area at The Gate, Newcastle.
"A 21-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of assault and he is currently in custody helping police with inquiries."
The troubled striker had his contract at Newcastle United cancelled following a series of arrests.
In January, Ranger was held by Northumbria Police following an allegation made by a woman that she was raped at a Newcastle hotel.
In October, he was given a 12-month conditional discharge for assaulting two police officers.
Ranger made 51 appearances for the Magpies and scored two goals.
A statement from the club on 1 March said: "Newcastle United can confirm that Nile Ranger has today left the club by mutual consent."
Ranger was capped 12 times at England under-19s level, scoring on his first international start against Bosnia on 27 May.

If you thought last month's Supreme Court ruling upholding the Affordable Care Act was the final word on the legality of the health law, think again. Some conservative scholars believe they may have discovered a flaw that could send the law back to court, or at least cause some big problems for its implementation.
To understand the potential problem, first you have to understand a little about how the law is supposed to work. Starting in the year 2014, every state is scheduled to have a health exchange — a sort of online marketplace where individuals and small businesses will be able to go to shop for health insurance. For low- and middle-income individuals, there will be help — in the form of tax credits — to pay for the insurance.
My advice to Republicans is get over it. The law is the law and we're moving ahead with it. Quit trying to scare people.
– Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa
States aren't required, however, to set up these exchanges. Indeed, many governors have already said they won't. The law takes that into account, and says if the states don't create an exchange, the federal government will set one up and run it instead.
But there's a problem.
"The statute doesn't authorize tax credits in federal health insurance exchanges; it authorizes them solely through state health insurance exchanges," says Michael Cannon, head of health policy at the libertarian Cato Institute and an opponent of the health law.
Cannon says when he first discovered the anomaly last year, he assumed it was a glitch. He says further research showed it might have been intentional. In a paper out this week, Cannon and Jonathan Adler, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University, claim Democrats decided that it was important for states to run the exchanges.
The faction that prevailed in writing the law, Cannon says, decided to offer the tax credits in exchanges established by the states and not offer them in exchanges established by the federal government because that would be a tremendous incentive for states to create exchanges.
Cannon says as a result of that decision, recent rules issued by the IRS allowing tax credits to be offered in exchanges run by either the states or the federal government are, in his words, "illegal."
"The clear language of the statute and the legislative history show that the IRS does not have the authority to do that," Cannon says.
But that opinion is far from universal.
"That's, unfortunately for them, wrong," says Timothy Jost, a professor at the Washington and Lee University School of Law and a strong backer of the health law.
Jost admits the law isn't written as clearly as it could have been. But he says it is pretty clear that a federally run exchange will be able to do everything a state exchange can, including provide tax credits, despite Cannon's claim that federal exchanges can't.
"This is an interesting theory, but it's completely contrary to the structure of the legislation and even the language of the legislation," he says.
And what about Cannon's assertion that Senate Democrats gave only the state exchanges the right to provide tax credits as a way to encourage the states to create them? A quick survey of Senate Democrats involved in writing the health law didn't uncover any who recall it that way.
"No, I think they're available in both," says Tom Harkin, the Iowa Democrat who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat and senior member of the Finance Committee, remembers it the same way.
"That's correct, and I make that judgment based on everything that came up in the Senate Finance Committee and the fact that the exchanges were something that were popular on both sides of the aisle," Wyden says.
In fact, Democratic senators like Ohio's Sherrod Brown say that those who are still trying to challenge the law are just out to make trouble.
"They're just going to keep trying to find things in the law that they think, for whatever reason, won't work," Brown says. "I just think they should be ashamed of themselves."
Harkin was more blunt. "My advice to Republicans is get over it. The law is the law and we're moving ahead with it. Quit trying to scare people," he says.
But between now and Election Day, opponents of the health law are likely to continue to hammer at it any way they can.

Topic: Threefold Cord (04/12/12)
TITLE: Above And Beyond
By Carla Procida
I'm 54 year's old and was diagnosed with Parkinson's at the age of 43. Initially I refused to take the medication prescribed until after two years when I found it difficult to function without them. Immediately the drugs took effect, but if you've ever watched a drug commercial the disease looks better than some of the side effects. So it was with one of the drugs I was taking, attacking my mind rather than my body, nearly destroying my life, my marriage and my relationship with God.
Shortly after I began developing a gambling problem. On my computer one evening, I noticed an e-mail from an on-line casino. I decided to play that night and for the next two years nearly every day. Starting off betting a few dollars until it turned into hundreds. In the meantime I was buying lotto tickets. At first $1 or $2 tickets, graduating to $20 and $30 tickets. Like most people that gamble, I was losing more than what I was winning.
Though I confessed to my husband the problem it eventually intensified. He was loving and forgiving even though I fell back into the gambling and deception time and time again. I drained our bank account and stopped paying the mortgage and credit card bills. Because I alone handled the bills, my husband assumed I was paying them.
Then one night he had a dream, the Lord showing him I was still gambling when he thought I had stopped. As horrible is was to have to admit how deep I was involved, a part of me was relieved. For by that time, guilt and shame had me concocting a plan to run away. I convinced myself it would be better for everyone, especially my husband, if I left. So distraught, I was willing to live on the streets if I had to, a just punishment I reasoned for the mess I made of things. Our house was in foreclosure, we owed $100,000 in credit cards and our marriage in trouble.
Not long after that, the Lord prompted me to google the name of the medication I was taking with the word gambling. To my surprise, a page popped up (one of thousands) on the relationship between the two. In fact there were thousands of law suits pending for people with gambling and other compulsive disorders after taking the drug. I contacted my neurologist and he immediately changed my medication. After a few days I lost all desire to gamble. I should have gone to the Lord as soon as the problem began but guilt and shame kept me from the place I needed to be the most, the throne of grace.
When I thought about this week's prompt, it brought to my mind Jesus, my husband and myself. Jesus, who never gave up on me even when I was at the end of my rope. My husband, who loved me unconditionally, though tough at times, with a grace and mercy that eventually brought us into a closer relationship than we ever had in thirty four years of marriage. I, who despaired, believing there was no forgiveness for what I had done, both Jesus and my husband tied me together with them to form the strongest bond in the Universe, a three fold cord!
I couldn't imagine how the Lord was going to "fix" everything. Though the gambling stopped, the threat of foreclosure and bill collectors didn't. Without going into much detail for fear the word count will exceeding 750, I will say God did far above and beyond anything I could of ever dared imagine. Our home came out of foreclosure and we paid off all our credit card debts. He surely does work out everything for good, restoring the years the locust have eaten. I hope I have encouraged someone dealing with an addiction, reminding them that there is always hope and forgiveness in the Lord!
