Shrimp And Couscous Pilaf

The Internet – a curious combination of fiber optics and silicon has given us a technology that has carpet bombed the last great defense against sexual perversion, shame. The reason for the explosion of online pornography is simple enough. The Internet is the first pornography delivery system that doesn’t require any interaction with a live human being. The only thing standing between millions of men and oceans of pornography fifteen years ago was the public shame of consuming it. The public shame is now gone. There is no longer a convenience store clerk, or video store clerk, or bouncer at the “Gentleman’s Club.” On the Internet it’s just you and the pictures.

Servings. Canadian Living, November 1996.  Heat oil over medium heat;
cook garlic, onion, zucchini, curry  powder, salt and pepper, stirring
occasionally, for 5 minutes or  until onion is softened. Add shrimp,
couscous, apple and raisins;  stir to coat. Pour in stock; bring to
boil, stirring often. Remove  from heat, cover and let stand for 5

Notes: I replaced the apple and  raisins with green peas. Instead of
yogurt I used a generous sprinkle  of fresh lemon juice.  Posted to

The source of my authority in this pulpit is not...my wisdom; nor is it a private revelation granted to me beyond the revelation of Scripture. My words have authority only insofar as they are the repetition, unfolding and proper application of the words of Scripture. I have authority only when I stand under authority. And our corporate symbol of that truth is the sound of your Bibles opening to the text. My deep conviction about preaching is that a pastor must show the people that what he is saying was already said or implied in the Bible. If it cannot be shown it has no special authority.
