We Love God!

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

If we are living our lives productive physically and emotionally as God intended we should never feel guilty about taking a break. Sometimes a nap or day off or vacation is the best thing we can do. We need the solitude to recharge and reflect. We retreat not in defeat, but we retreat in order to come back stronger and refreshed. Even when the Gospel needed to be proclaimed, Jesus and His disciples took time away from the crowds (Mk. 6:31; Lk. 9:10).
Randy Smith

The God we encounter everywhere in Scripture, though mysterious to us, though we strain at the leash of language to describe Him faithfully, though we know He is more than our small thoughts can achieve – still, God is truly knowable according to His own self-revelation. We can receive His testimony to Himself at face value without fear of missing who He really is.

Preparation time: 25 minutes Cooking time: 30 minutes
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking pan.
2. With an electric mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, eggs and
vanilla until light, 2 minutes. Add the chocolate and mix well. Stop the
mixer and fold in the flour then the nuts.
3. Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake just until a toothpick inserted
in the center comes out clean, 30 minutes. Cool completely.
4. For the filling, mix all ingredients until smooth. Spread in an even
layer over the cooled brownies.
5. For the glaze, melt chocolate with butter; mix well. Pour over filling
and gently tilt pan so glaze covers the entire surface. Refrigerate until
glaze is set; cut into squares or sticks. For holiday cookie trays, cut the
brownies into small squares and decorate them with holiday finery.
