Brussels Sprouts With Caramelized Onion

AA has been helpful for many people. It provides accountability, mutual understanding in an environment that doesn’t judge and wonderful support for many people. It does not, however, strive to find distinctively biblical answers to the problems of life. As a result, it is bound to have some problems: 1. Its disease model doesn’t really let anyone get to the heart of the matter… When we examine our hearts, we find is that the greatest danger is that we are hooked on ourselves… This means that even if I give up alcohol, unless I deal head on with my biggest problem, I will never truly find freedom. I will just find something else to serve my desires. 2. Its theory of change does not reveal the against-God nature of the addictive behavior. Even though we are not always consciously aware that our addictions are disobedient before God, the reality is that they are. 3. Jesus is optional. If it is true that addictive behavior is rebellion against divine authority, then addicts have no hope but to run to Jesus for forgiveness, cleansing, and power.

INSTRUCTIONS

Dreaded? Brussels sprouts are one of my two most favorites. Try this,
from Time-Life's Fresh Ways with Vegetables:  Put the onion, oil,
pepper, and 1/2 cup of water in a saucepan. Bring  water to a boil over
high heat and partially cover pan so a little  steam can escape. Reduce
heat to medium and cook onion, stirring  occasionally, till it is
caramelized--i.e., water's about all gone,  but a brown syrupy release
of the onion's natural sugar is around and  about--about one hour.
Uncover pan and add wine to onion. Raise heat to high and boil  rapidly
till almost all the wine has evaporated--5 to 10 minutes.  About 15
minutes before the onion's done, steam Brussels sprouts till  they are
tender. Toss with onion and serve.  Posted to FOODWINE Digest 31

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”

[Mothers], our daughters will be products of their theology. Their knowledge – or lack of knowledge – of who God is and what He has done for them will show up in every attitude, action, and relationship. Their worldview will be determined by their belief system. We must teach our daughters that their value and identity lie in the fact that they are image-bearers of the God of glory. This will protect them from seeking significance in the inconsequential shallowness of self-fulfillment, personal happiness, materialism, or others’ approval. Our daughters must know the wondrous truth that their overarching purpose in life is God’s glory (Susan Hunt).
