When thoughts or inclinations contrary to the will and ways of God creep in, many dear Christians mistake these miserable orphans for their own children, and take upon themselves the full responsibility for these carnal passions. So deftly does the devil slip his own thoughts into the saints’ bosom that by the time they begin to whimper, he is already out of sight. And the Christian, seeing no one but himself at home, supposes these misbegotten notions are his own. So he bears the shame himself, and Satan has accomplished his purpose.
BASIC STEW
THIS VARIATION
You may substitute pork shoulder or beef chuck for the lamb. Use beef stock
for beef, chicken stock for pork or lamb. Basic stew: Trim meat of fat and
cut into 1-1/2" chunks. Bring all ingredients to boil in 4-qt pot, cover
tightly, reduce heat, and simmer 2-1/2 hours, until meat is tender.
Crockpot directions: pile all ingredients into crockpot and cook all day on
LOW. When done: skim off and discard fat. It takes less than 8 minutes to
assemble this stew. Then you can pay it little or no attention as it
simmers for about 2-1/2 hours. Make multiples of the basic stew, then
divide stew into 4-serving portions; refrigerate or in airtight containers
for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in microwave-safe
container on defrost or in refrigerator for 24 hours. To assemble: bring
basic stew, vegetables, and spices to boil in 3-qt pot. Reduce heat, cover,
and simmer 15 minutes, stirring twice, until vegetables are almost tender.
Whisk chicken stock with flour until blended. Stir into stew and simmer,
uncovered, 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until gravy is slightly
thickened and vegetables are tender. This stew is also good made with beef
or pork.
