Chocolate-walnut Meringue Kisses

Maybe you’ve thought that you really need to be discipled before you can disciple. It is certainly crucial to be a disciple. But Jesus gave the command to make disciples to you. And part of being a disciple, in fact, is to disciple. Part of growing in maturity is helping others grow in maturity. God wants you to be in churches not merely so that your needs are met, but so that you will be equipped and encouraged to care for others.

EARLY IN DAY OR DAY AHEAD: 1. Line 2 large cookie sheets with foil.  2.
In small bowl, with mixer at high speed, beat egg whites and cream  of

sprinkle in sugar, 2 tablespoons at a time, beating well after each

cookie sheets into  mounds, each about 1-1/2 inches in diameter. Bake

longer to dry. Cool  meringues completely on cookie sheets on wire
racks.  4. While cookies are cooling, prepare chocolate-walnut filling:
In  heavy small saucepan over low heat, heat chocolate squares until
melted and smooth, stirring frequently. Remove saucepan from heat;
stir in walnuts.  5. To assemble cookies: On bottom of 1 meringue
cookie, spread about 1  rounded teaspoon chocolate-walnut filling;
gently press bottom of  another cookie onto filling to make
a''sandwich''. Repeat with  remaining meringue cookies and filling.
Store cookies in tightly  covered container. Just before serving,
sprinkle cookies lightly with  cocoa, and if you like, place each
cookie in a miniature paper baking  cup.  NOTES : Delectable and light

There is a sense in which the human soul has caved in on itself and is now held captive by a fixation with its own states and conditions and concerns. The soul has become parasitic on itself, feeding on its needs and cravings by excessive introspection and elaborate attempts to elevate its sense of self-worth. Your soul was never meant for this. You were designed for something better. You were built for the contemplation of something infinitely more complex, something incomparably more fascinating than your own “self.” You were created for the joyful contemplation of God.
