Ask yourself this question. Who benefits if you do not spank you child? Surely not the child. The (biblical) passages make it clear that such failure places the child at risk. Who benefits? You do. You are delivered from the discomfort of spanking the child. You are delivered from the agony of inflicting pain on one who is precious to you. You are delivered from the inconvenience and loss of time which biblical discipline requires. I believe this is why the Bible says in Proverbs 13:24 – “He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.” According to this passage, hatred is what will keep me from spanking my child. Love will force me to it.

Interesting, I just ran across this in "Food that Really Schmecks" by Edna

Scoop out the potato from the skin and beat with butter until creamy; add
sugar and cocoa gradually, then add nuts. Knead until it will mould, pack
into a buttered pan and cut into squares.
