We Love God!

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

At times one hesitates to reprove or admonish evil-doers, either because one seeks a more favorable moment or fears his rebuke might make them worse, and further, discourage weak brethren from seeking to lead a good and holy life, or turn them aside from the faith. In such circumstances forbearance is not prompted by selfish considerations but by well advised charity.
Augustine

So when we call pain a problem, we claim we do not deserve it. We are even prepared to scuttle God to maintain our own innocence. We will say that God is not able to do what He would like, or He would never permit persons such as ourselves to suffer. That puffs up our egos and soothes our griefs at the same time. “How could God do this to me?” is at once an admission of pain and a soporific for it. It reduces our personal grief by eradicating the deity. Drastic medicine, indeed, that only a human ego, run wild, could possibly imagine.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  In a large saute pan over medium
heat, render the bacon until crispy,  about 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the
onions, celery, and bell peppers.  Season with salt and pepper. Saute
for 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the  eggplant and continue to saute for 3
minutes. Season with salt and  cayenne. Stir in 2 tablespoons garlic,
thyme, parsley and green  onions. Remove from the heat and turn into a
mixing bowl. Stir in the  corn bread and stock. Mix thoroughly. Season
the dressing with salt  and cayenne.  Season each squab with olive oil,
salt and cayenne. Stuff each cavity  of the squabs with about 3/4 cup
of the dressing. Toss the shallots  with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place the stuffed squab and shallots  in a parchment-lined roasting
pan. Place the squab in the oven and  roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or
until the squab is golden brown and  the juices run clear. Remove the
pan from the oven and separate the  sections of the shallots. Place the
shallots in a saucepan and cover  with the veal reduction. Bring the
liquid to a boil and reduce to a  simmer. Simmer for 2 minutes. Season
the sauce with salt and pepper.  In a large saute pan, melt the butter.
Add the haricots verts and the  remaining garlic. Season with salt and
pepper. Saute for 2 to 3  minutes. Serve the squabs with the haricots
verts and a ladle of  shallot reduction.  Recipe Source: EMERIL LIVE
