ON A GOOD DAY





Our worth is tested every day. We are given the choice of being nice to people or uncharitable. We are given the choice of doing our work as well as we can or of goofing off. Some days it seems the tests are harder than on others, but every day brings with it some kind of test. Even the really good days!

To have everything go wonderfully for us, to feel like a million dollars, to have one of those days when nothing and nobody can upset us, they are days when we might think we don't need God. And so we pay Him little attention. MISTAKE! BIG MISTAKE! We must never forget our good days are God's gifts to give us a breather, a taste of heaven.

"Make no mistake about this," writes St. James, "Every genuine benefit comes from above, descending from the Father of the heavenly luminaries." Good days are made in heaven. Be sure to thank God for them.

CDR Gary Simons, CHC, USN

Try this marinade for lamb:

Puree 3 cups of Cilantro,
1 1/2 cups mint
1 cup plain whole milk yogurt
3 cloves garlic
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tblsp. ground Cumin seeds
1 tsp salt
1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
Pur over a 3 lb butterflied, boneless leg of lamb
Cover with plastic wrap and refridgerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Bring meat to room temp before grilling
Wipe off excess marinade and grill on medium heat until medium-rare
Slice and sprinkle with chopped mint and Cilantro..
Enjoy!

My favorite for traditional lamb is to whisk together... Olive oil, dijon mustard, rosemary, garlic and wine.(you dont need the wine)

Serve med rare with cracked black pepper
