We Love God!

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

The greatest of all the temptations that assail a preacher is pride. Pride, because he is set up there almost on a pedestal. He is standing in a pulpit, he is above the people, all of whom are looking to him. He has this leading place in the Church, in the community; and so his greatest temptation is that of pride. Pride is probably the deadliest and the most subtle of all sins, and it can assume many forms; but as long as one realizes this all is well.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones

We are programmed for failure if we're looking for ultimate answers in a non-ultimate realm, a realm that's partial, fragmented, incomplete. We end up worshiping the creation rather than the Creator. We can do that as believers. The total answer is a Person, Jesus Christ. It's part of God's program to make us dissatisfied with what the temporal realm offers, so that we might seek life in Him.

INSTRUCTIONS

           HENNESSY MARTINI:
SAKETINI
CAJUN MARTINI
JAMES BOND MARTINI
Shake gin, vermouth and orange bitters (1 dash per drink) in curshed ice.
Strain into pre-frozen martini glasses whose lips (??) have been moistened
with lemon peel.
(If there are olives handy, eat them while making the cocktail. Under no
circumstances put them into the drink )
The paper then goes on to suggest variations:
Hennessy Martini: Stir cognac and lemon juice together gently. Let settle.
Strain into chilled martini glass. Garnish with lemon peel.
Saketini: Mis vodka and sake in jug with ice. STrain into glass and garnish
(ugh)
Cajun Martini: Shake gin, vermouth and orange bitters ( 1 dash per drink)
in crushed ice. Strain into pre-frozen glasses whose lips (who writes this
stuff) have been moistened with lemon peel. Add strand of jalapeno to each
drink (with this little I can't imagine it would have much impact)
James Bond Martini: it says:Okay, okay. If pressed you can use vodka to
make martinis, but this is considered vulgar (sez you - my comment) and
should be discouraged. (Bronz cheer - mine)
It continues :If you can't remember the method by now, you've had too many
already.
Too ruddy early in the morning to be thinking about this kind of thing.
Renata - He was white and shaken, like a dry martini (Right Ho, Jeeves)
