God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
[P]ersons are generally very liberal of their invectives against the clergy, and think they justly blame the conduct of’ that minister who does not take heed to and watch over the flock, of which the Holy Ghost has made him overseer: but may not every governor of a family, be in a lower degree liable to the same censure, who takes no thought for those souls that are committed to his charge? For every house is as it were a little parish, every governor a priest, every family a flock; and if any of them perish through the governor’s neglect, their blood will God require at their hands.
Only a morbid fanatic can take pleasure in the sufferings he inflicts upon himself; only an insensitive fool can take pleasure in the sufferings that are the consequences of his folly; and only a convinced Christian can take pleasure in sufferings endured “for Christ's sake,” for he alone has been initiated into the divine secret, that it is only when he is “weak,” having thrown himself unreservedly in penitence and humility upon the never-failing mercies of God, that he is “strong,” with a strength not his own, but belonging to the Lord of all power and might.
Thoroughly grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan. Toast the bread on
both sides until lightly colored. The bread should remain soft inside.
Spread butter on both sides of each slice, then cut it up into 1-inch
cubes. you should have 2 1/2 to 3 cups of bread cubes. Arrange the bread
cubes in the baking pan; sprinkle with raisins. In a bowl, lightly beat the
eggs with a whisk. Add the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Gradually add the warm milk and vanilla, stirring until combined. Pour the
mixture over the bread cubes. Let stand for 30 minutes, pressing the bread
down occasionally to absorb the custard. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of sugar
over the top. Preheat the oven to 325F. Bake the pudding for 50 to 60
minutes, or until a knife inserted between the center and edge of pan comes
out clean. The pudding should be golden brown and puffed. Cool on a rack.
Serve warm or cold with whipped cream and fresh berries.
