A Few of My Favorite Things

-
I should be either practicing my sermon or sleeping. Naturally, I am doing neither. And, if I am going to blog, I ought to be working through the review I mentioned in my last post... so, naturally, I am not doing that either.

Instead, I want to share two of my favorite custom desserts (though not all of my own customization). Now, if you know me at all, you know that I have a massive sweet tooth. I dread the day (which fast approaches) when my metabolism fails me and I inevitably start to either gain weight or watch what I eat. Until then, I will enjoy the freedom to eat what I wish as a gift from God. So, on to the recipes:


Bread and Cream and Sugar
Yes, the title says it all. (Credit where credit is due: I learned this particular delight from my Father)
1. Take one slice of bread (brown or white or rye or whatever is fine, but I do not recommend any of the more 'crunchy' varieties of bread that include actual pieces of grain or nut) and cover it with a layer of brown sugar (thickness can be varied as desired).
2. Now take whipping cream and slowly pour it over the entire piece of bread until you have covered all the sugar and have a little swimming pool surrounding your slice.
3. Eat and enjoy (mmm, so good).



Cookie Soup
You know how its so delicious to dip cookies in milk? Why not just dump em right in?
1. Take as many of your favorite kind of cookie as you want (must be a cookie that goes will in/with milk) and crumble them into a bowl (the size of your cookie pieces can vary according to taste; I prefer a mixture, some big and some small).
2. Now fill the bowl full of milk exactly like you would a bowl of cereal.
3. Add toppings of your desire (I like chocolate or caramel syrup).
4. Eat and enjoy (you know its going to be good if the milk is completely brown!)

Dude, that's revolting. But I still love you.

Actually, my great grandfather used to pour hot bacon grease over sugar. Shudder. (Note, he lived past 80...)

Hot bacon grease eh... that does sound pretty gross. Nothing at all like my own particular dessert preferences. Nothing at all... :)

So I tried the bread and cream and sugar and it is good. I won't lie. But the cookie soup makes me want to gag just thinking about it.

Forgiveness: A Hard Word From Luther

-
"Those who follow Christ grieve more over the sin of their offenders than over the loss or offense to themselves. And they do this that they may recall those offenders from their sin rather than avenge the wrongs they themselves have suffered. Therefore they put off the form of their own righteousness and put on the form of those others, praying for their persecutors, blessing those who curse, doing good to the evil-doers, preparing to pay the penalty and make satisfaction for their very enemies that they may be saved. This is the gospel and the example of Christ." - Martin Luther (Quoted by Miroslav Volf, Free of Charge, pg. 161-162)

A Good Tree Bears Good Fruit....

"Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit." - Matthew 7:17-18 "One of the most powerful ways to influence the behavior of a system is through its purpose or goal. That's because the goal is the direction-setter of the system, the definer of discrepancies that require action, the indicator of compliance, failure, or success toward which balancing feedback loops work. If the goal is defined badly, if it doesn't measure what it's supposed to measure, if it doesn't reflect the real welfare of the system, then the system can't possibly produce a desirable result. Systems, like the three wishes in the traditional fairy tale, have a terrible tendency to produce exactly and only what you ask them to produce. Be careful what you ask them to produce." - Donella H. Meadows, Thinking in Systems.

A Gracious Reading of Rob Bell

-
The Journey So Far The controversy rages on over Rob Bell's upcoming new book. No matter what happens now, this controversy has effectively guaranteed that 'everyone who is anyone' will need to read this book. Either to find out what is wrong and bash it, or because someone we generally disagree with also disagrees with the book so it has to be good stuff! Then, because 'everyone' is reading it, people like me will 'have to' read it to. After all, I am a pastor, and if many of my people are reading and being influenced by a book, don't I need to know what is going on as well?  Or so the reasoning will go... and perhaps I will read it, who knows. In the meantime, none of this will stop me from continuing to join this fray which I probably ought to have stayed out of in the first place. Onwards, Christian... :) The Latest Salvo The latest salvo has been fired by DeYoung  claiming that not only do we not need to talk with Bell but, more importantly, it...
