It is significant that we are described as being slightly lower than the angels rather than being slightly higher than the beasts. Our place and privilege is to be a mediating figure, but to be one who looks up rather than down. When we sever the tie that binds us to God and try to cast off God's rule, we do not rise up to take God's place, as we desire to do, but rather sink to a more bestial level. In fact, we come to think of ourselves as beasts ('the naked ape') or, even worse, as machines.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2	lb	Roasted peanuts, unsalted in the shell
		Salt to taste
2	tb	Cooking oil or margarine, to 3 tbsp
		Hand – turned meat grinder or food grinder
		Mixing spoon
		Bowls for peanuts and shells

INSTRUCTIONS

Shell the peanuts using various methods. Using ones mouth is not
acceptable, due to spread over germs. Younger children may need help. Take
off peanut skins also. After a goodly supply has accumulated set up meat
grinder and children begin grinding. Add oil, enough so mixture is
spreadable. Add salt. Serve in a small bowl with crackers. Children are
encouraged to spread their own peanut butter and enjoy this snack they have
made themselves.
