We Love God!

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

It is beyond all question that this eminent piety is before everything else in preparation for the duties of the sacred office. It is before talents, or learning, or study, or favorable circumstances, or skill in working, or power in sermonizing. It is needed to give character and tone and strength to all these, and to every other part of the work. Without this elevated spirituality nothing else will be of much account in producing a permanent and satisfactory ministry. All else will be like erecting a building without a foundation... Oh that at the very beginning this could be deeply impressed upon the hearts of young ministers!... Without it success in the holy office is not to be expected (Thomas Murphy).

We may often be baffled by the reality of the power of evil as it is manifest in our circumstances. Sometimes that power seems so overwhelming that we are unable to praise within the circumstances of our life. It is then that we do well to recall the words of the Apostle Paul. When writing amidst difficult circumstances to the Church at Ephesus he could say, ‘Giving thanks always for all things unto God.’ He had come to know that no matter what the source of the evil, if we are in Christ, and surrounded by Him as by an atmosphere, all evil has to pass through Him before it comes to us (Robert Norris).

Salt
Freshly ground pepper

1/4 c Fresh lemon juice
1 Red oakleaf lettuce head; torn
1 Green oakleaf lettuce head; torn

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a saute pan set over medium-high
heat. Place onion rounds in skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook
until fork-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; set
aside. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet set over medium-low
heat. Add the pumpkin seeds, and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden,
about 4 minutes, being careful that the seeds don't jump from the skillet
as they pop. Set skillet aside to cool. Place 1/2 cup cooked pumpkin seeds
in the bowl of a food processor; add a pinch of salt, and pulse until
finely ground. With the machine running, slowly add the remaining 6
tablespoons olive oil. Add the lemon juice, and season with salt and
pepper. Set the pumpkin vinaigrette aside. When ready to serve, combine
both lettuces and the onion in a large bowl. Pour the reserved vinaigrette
over the top, and toss the salad to combine. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2
cup pumpkin seeds. Serves 8 to 10.
