Summary of Principles for Christian Stewardship: 1. Giving is to be in proportion to wealth - 1 Cor. 16:2; 2 Cor. 8:3, 11, 12; 9:8-11 (precisely what percentage that might be is never stated by Paul). 2. Giving is to be regarded as a privilege; indeed, it is an act of worship and praise - 2 Cor. 8:4; Phil. 4:15-18. 3. Giving is to be voluntary, not forced - 2 Cor. 8:3,11-12; 9:5,7. 4. Giving is to be preceded by the dedication of oneself to the Lord's work in whatever capacity possible - 2 Cor. 8:5. 5. Giving is to be characterized by a spirit of reciprocity - 2 Cor. 8:13-15. 6. The administration of Christian giving should take into consideration the principles [of integrity] that governed Paul's approach to the collection [he assembled] - 2 Cor. 8:16-24. 7. Giving is to be characterized by forethought and prayer - 2 Cor. 9:7. 8. Giving must never be characterized by sorrow over money lost or by covetousness - 2 Cor. 9:5, 7. 9. Giving should always be cheerful and joyous - 2 Cor. 9:7. 10. Giving should not be undertaken with a view to personal enrichment; rather, one should give with the expectation that God will supply the giver with abundance for additional giving - 2 Cor. 9:8-11. 11. All giving is to be understood as finding its source, power, and pattern in the grace of God in Christ - 2 Cor. 8:1,9; 9:14-15.

INGREDIENTS

1		Acorn; butternut or similar squash
		Spices; (see below)
		Salt

INSTRUCTIONS

Poke a hole or two in the squash and microwave until soft all over. About 4
~ 8 minutes depending on size of squash) Cut in half. (It is very easy when
cooked) Scoop out seeds, mash squash, season and serve. Although I tend to
use lots of spices in things I only lightly use the chili, curry and
berberi mentioned below. In this case just a subtle tast of them works for
me. Season with one of the following combination:
1. Molly McButter or salt and Brown Sugar (husband's favorite)
2. Ethopian Berbere spice mix and salt and a few rasins or chopped apricots
(my favorite)
3. Your favorite curry mix, salt and a few rasins or chopped apricots.
4. Chilli powder and chopped sweet onions.
5. Salsa or Pico de Gallo
6. Pressed garlic and Molly McButter
7. Leftover chili beans or cooked veggies such as peas or broccli
7. Your own thing... I am sure you can think of better ones that what is
above. When you do let the rest of us know.
