Crab cakes would take you away from all of us - why don’t we grill some salmon, right there on the beach? I’ll bring the wine - I have a friend with well stocked ‘cellar’, who owes me a couple bottles. (my choice)

The Right Ingredients
October 29, 2011

Although my culinary skills remain undeveloped, occasionally I use a box of premixed ingredients to make a cake. After adding eggs, vegetable oil, and water, I stir it all together. To bake a palate-pleasing cake, it’s vital to have the correct balance of the right ingredients. That helps me picture the relationship of the greatest commandment (Matt. 22:36-38) and the Great Commission (28:19-20) as we spread the gospel.

When Jesus told His followers to go and make disciples of all nations, He did not give them permission to be rude and uncaring as they did so. His own citing of the “first and great commandment”—to love God with all your heart, soul, and mind—was quickly followed by the call to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 22:37-39). Throughout the New Testament, we find this model of compassionate, respectful living restated many places, including “the love chapter” (1 Cor. 13) and Peter’s instruction to give a reason for the hope within us “with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15 NIV).

In our eagerness to share Christ with others, we must always include a healthy balance of those two ingredients—the true gospel and godly love. This wonderfully sweet cake bakes best in the warmth of God’s love.

Lord, help me to love with both words and deeds,
To reach out to sinners and meet their needs;
Lord, burden my heart for those lost in sin,
With mercy and love that flows from within. —Fitzhugh

They witness best who witness with their lives.

Read: Matthew 22:34-39; 28:16-20

Always be ready to give a defense . . . with meekness. —1 Peter 3:15

Bible in a year:
Jeremiah 18-19; 2 Timothy 3

Thanks Conor. She brings a lot of smiles in our family.

You’re most welcome Amy, and thank you.

[jaycee]

I cannot tell you how fast she has grown! Seems only
yesterday that we were celebrating her birth. Time sure
is flying by for me!

Thank you, Pam.

[jaycee]

I’m not around her as much as I would like BUT when I am
she sure makes me happy! She has a sweet little
personality.

And thank you, yorkie!

"Sad night at the ballpark"

Yes Meg, it was! I was disappointed.

[The Mayor]

"Patriotism, in its true form, is of the kind they gave, it is not a song in the street or a wreath on a column, or a flag flying from a window. It is a thing very holy and very terrible like life itself. It is a burden to be borne, a thing to labor for, and to suffer for and die for, a thing which gives no happiness, and no pleasantness, but a hard life, an unknown grave, and the respect, and bared heads, of those who followed"..

Gonna have to find the source, what a great and meaningful quote. People throw the word "Patriotism" around and I don't think they have any real idea what it means. Thanks!
