God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Scripture tells us that the state of an unconverted man is this: he sees no great felicity in the love and communion of God in the life to come, which may draw his heart thither from this present world; but he lives to his carnal self, or to the flesh; and the main bent of his life is, that it may go well with him on earth; and that religion which he has is but a little by the by, lest he should be damned when he can keep the world no longer; so that the world and the flesh are highest in his esteem, and nearest to his heart, and God and glory stand below them, and all their service of God is but a giving him that which the world and flesh can spare. This is the case of every unconverted man; and all who are in this case are in a state of misery.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Place the pecans in a food processor along with 2 TBS of sugar and process
until very fine, almost like flour. Transfer the mixture to a medium size
bowl, stir in the flour and salt and set aside.
Cream the butter and =AB cup of the sugar in a large bowl until pale yellow
and light. Add the vanilla and the coffee and mix well. Then gradually add
the flour mixture, stirring just until it is combined. Do not overmix, or
the batter will become oily and too soft.
Place the remaining =AB c sugar in a plate or shallow bowl. Using your
hands, quickly form the dough into pieces the size of a small walnut, and
roll them in the sugar. Lace them =AB inch apart on the prepared baking
sheets, and bake in the center of the oven until they are golden and puffed
12-to 15 minutes. Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool. They will
keep in an airtight container for at least 1 week.
