We Love God!

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

You can spurn God's love for only so long

Why is it man and not the monkeys who decorated cave walls with pictures? Why is it that in every tribe of humans ever known there has always been some form of art and craftsmanship that goes beyond mere utility? Is it not because we long to behold and be a part of beauty?... There is in the human heart an unquenchable longing for beauty. And I am persuaded that the reason it is there is because God is the ultimately Beautiful One and he made us to long for Himself... Our desires are remnants of this urge for God because everything less than God leaves us unsatisfied. He alone is the All-Satisfying Object of Beauty. Only one vision will be sufficient for our insatiable hearts — the glory of God. For that we have been made. And it is for this we long, whether we know it or not.

INSTRUCTIONS

The recipes for the potatoes and mushroom sauce are adapted from the Feb 97
edition of Bon Appetit. Here they are:
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add
mushrooms, 1/2 cup shallots, garlic and 1 tablespoon jalapeno; saute until
mushrooms are very tender and beginning to brown, about 15 minutes. Remove
from heat. Add chopped cilantro, oregano and 1 teaspoon cumin. Season with
salt and pepper.
Put broth in heavy medium saucepan. Gradually whisk flour into Sherry in
medium bowl to blend. Whisk Sherry mixture, 1 tablespoon butter, 1
tablespoon shallots and one teaspoon jalapeno into broth; bring to boil,
whisking until smooth. Add browning sauce. Stir in mushroom mixture. Boil
until mixture thickens to sauce consistency, stirring occasionally, about 5
minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Note: this sauce recipe was originally meant to accompany a Cumin Pork
Roast (which also sounds excellent!) and called for pan drippings from the
pork. I substituted the browning and seasoning sauce since I didn't have
the pan drippings available. The sauce was great over the mashed potatoes
and smoked turkey!
