We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

You begin by quieting your heart with a simple reading of the text. Then you meditate, perhaps on a single word or phrase from the text, and in so doing intentionally avoid what might be considered an “analytical” approach. In essence, the goal here is to wait for the Spirit’s illumination so that you will arrive at meaning. You wait for Jesus to come calling. Once the word is given, you go on to pray. After all, prayer is dialogue with God. God speaks through his Word and the person speaks through prayer. Eventually, this prayer becomes contemplative prayer, and it gives to us the ability to comprehend deeper theological truths. It sounds wonderfully pious… [However] it substitutes intuition for investigation. It prefers mood and emotion to methodical and reasoned inquiry. It equates your spirit to the Holy Spirit.
David Helm

The ultimate cause of all spiritual depression is unbelief. For if it were not for unbelief even the devil could do nothing. It is because we listen to the devil instead of listening to God that we go down before him and fall before his attacks. That is why this psalmist keeps on saying to himself: “Hope thou in God for I shall yet praise Him…” He reminds himself of God. Why? Because he was depressed and had forgotten God, so that his faith and his unbelief in God and in God’s power, and in his relationship to God, were not what they ought to be. We can indeed sum it all up by saying that the final and ultimate cause is just sheer unbelief.

Eggs, Dairy Eggs 8 Servings

INGREDIENTS

8 sl Bacon; * see note
2 md Baking potatoes; leftover
1 md Onion; chopped
2 Jalapeno; minced
1 c Fresh corn; * see note
1 Red bell pepper; chopped
8 lg Eggs
3 tb 2% low-fat milk
Sour cream; for garnish
Salsa; for garnish
Chopped cilantro; for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

* I use Fletcher's Maple Flavored Bacon. Make this frittata the day after
you've served baked potatoes; cook 2 extra potatoes and place in
refrigerator overnight. You may seed the jalapenos if you wish. Leftover
corn on the cob, sliced from the cob, is delicious in this. If not
available, use tiny, sweet frozen corn if you wish (optional).
1. Slice bacon slices in half once lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1/2"
pieces. Place bacon pieces into a 12" non-stick skillet (for which you have
a lid!). Cook bacon on low heat, stirring occasionally, until well-browned
and crisp. Drain on paper towels, leaving pan with a bit of a coating of
bacon fat.
2. Meanwhile, peel and chop baked potatoes into 1/2" dice, chop the onion,
mince the jalapeno, prepare corn (if using), and seed and chop the red bell
pepper.
3. After removing bacon, put potatoes in pan and brown over medium to
medium-high heat. (The frittata tastes better if you can get the potato a
bit brown and crispy.)
4. Add jalapeno, corn, and chopped red bell pepper and cooked bacon.
Continue to cook for a few minutes until peppers start to soften.
5. Beat eggs with milk. When vegetables are ready, pour milk mixture over
them, reduce heat to low, and place cover on pan.
6. Cook over low heat for 20 minutes, or until the eggs are set. (Try not
to peek too often!)
7. Remove lid and place serving dish upside down over pan. Using
potholders, grab pan and plate together and invert. You should have a
nicely browned frittata.
8. Slice frittata in pie-shapes. Serve with sour cream and salsa; garnish
with fresh parshley or cilantro if desired.
My note: I started making this about ten years ago on camping trips with my
two kids. I'd roast a couple of extra potatoes wrapped in foil in the
cookfire the night before, and we often had corn on the cob, so that's
where that came from. My kids still love it...I often make one on the
weekend, and then leave the remainder on the counter covered with plastic
wrap...by the afternoon it's gone. Unfortunately my new husband (well,
newer than the kids!) doesn't care for it...he says it's the only thing I
make that he doesn't like! Weird guy!
