Pasta Shells With Spinach

One of the best evidences that we are truly seeking Heaven is the possession of hearts that are weaned from this world. None will ever enter the Father’s House on high in whose soul the first fruits of heavenly peace and joy does not grow now. He who finds his satisfaction in temporal things is woefully deceived if he imagines he can enjoy eternal things. He whose joy is all gone when earthly possessions are snatched from him, knows nothing of that peace which “passeth all understanding.” And yet, if the auto, radio, newspaper, money to go to the movies, were taken away from the average “church member,” what would he then have left to make life worth living?

tomatoes, spinach, olive oil and lemon. On Elba we  drove up the
winding roads through forests of chestnut to reach a  small restaurant,
and cooler air and the sweet smells of thyme,  rosemary, oregano, and
mint. In the old, quiet hilltop villages the  men sit as they always
have, in tree-shaded squares. The local wine  we had with this pasta
was light, white, and dry.  Recipe by: =AC Cole Publishing  Posted to
