We Love God!

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

Men look upon it as an easy task and as that which will be carried on with a little diligence and ordinary attendance. But do we think it is for nothing that the Holy Spirit expresses the duty of opposing sin and weakening its power by mortification, killing or putting to death? Is there not something special in this, beyond any other act or duty of our lives?... Everything will do its utmost to preserve its life and being. So will sin too; and if it is not constantly pursued with diligence and holy violence, it will escape our assaults. Let no man think he can kill sin with few, easy or gentle strokes.
John Owen

The most fundamental task of a mother and father is to show God to the children. Children know their parents before they know God. This is a huge responsibility and should cause every parent to be desperate for God-like transformation. The children will have years of exposure to what the universe is like before they know there is a universe. They will experience the kind of authority there is in the universe and the kind of justice there is in the universe and the kind of love there is in the universe before they meet the God of authority and justice and love who created and rules the universe. Children are absorbing from dad his strength and leadership and protection and justice and love; and they are absorbing from mom her care and nurture and warmth and intimacy and justice and love – and, of course, all these overlap.

INGREDIENTS

350 g Spaghettini, thin
spaghetti
350 to 450
3 T Olive oil
2 Cloves garlic, peeled and
sliced
or chopped
750 g Plum tomatoes, skinned
seeded and
coarsely chopped
1 Hand fresh basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
Parmesan cheese to serve
freshly grated

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the spaghettini.  As
soon as the pasta is in, heat the olive oil in a large frying pan  over
a brisk heat, and add the garlic. Stir for about 30 seconds,  then add
the tomatoes. Stir and simmer, then leave to bubble,  occasionally
crushing down the tomatoes, for 5 minutes or so, until  they form a
rough sauce. Season with salt and pepper, then roughly  tear the basil
leaves and scatter over the sauce. Cook for 1 minute  or so more. Taste
and adjust seasoning.  Drain the pasta and tip into the sauce (if
there's enough room in the  pan - if not, tip the sauce over the pasta
in the usual way). Turn  carefully, to coat, then serve with freshly
grated Parmesan.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Converted by MM_Buster
