God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
All our minds are working in overdrive recruiting files to “dwell upon” (Phil. 4:8). Do those thoughts successfully pass through the spiritual grid presented to us in Philippians 4:8? Are we needlessly putting thoughts in our minds that are contrary to Philippians 4:8? Therefore, think twice before you look at that picture, watch that movie, entertain that gossip, visit that place, receive that counsel, read that article and listen to that song. Are you guarding your heart by living a disciplined life in the pursuit of righteous living and practicing self-control at to what you choose to dwell upon?
When the fruit of the spirit becomes characteristic of the church’s daily life, it becomes painfully clear whenever one person violates that spirit, and the body itself will work to take care of the irritation (Marshall Shelly).
BASE
CARAMEL
ICING
Karen Kruckenberg of Harvard, Illinois earned an honorable mention in the
1996 Chicago Tribune Annual Holiday Cookie Contest with a simple recipe for
caramel oat bars from England.
1. Heat oven to 350'F. For base, beat butter and sugar in small bowl of
electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add
oats and flour; beat until smooth. Press into greased 8-inch-square or
9-inch-square baking pan. Bake until set, 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare caramel mixture. Heat condensed milk, butter and
brown sugar to a boil in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Boil, stirring
constantly, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Pour caramel
mixture over cooked base; allow to cool completely.
3. To prepare icing, melt butter in saucepan over medium heat. Stir in
cocoa and water until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar; stir until mixed
well. Spread over cooled caramel layer. Allow to set before cutting. Store
refrigerated.
