We Love God!

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

Pride is subtle and shape-shifting. There is more of it at work in our hearts than we know, and more of it pulsing through our busyness than we realize. Pride is the villain with a thousand faces: People-pleasing, Pats on the back, Performance evaluation, Possessions, Proving myself, Pity, Poor planning, Power, Perfectionism, Position, Prestige and Posting. Here’s the bottom line: of all the possible problems contributing to our busyness, it’s a pretty good bet that one of the most pervasive is pride. It’s okay to be busy at times. You can’t love and serve others without giving of your time. So work hard; work long; work often. Just remember it’s not supposed to be about you. Feed people, not your pride.

Every true prayer has its background and its foreground. The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.

Contributed to the echo by: Sandy Colby Originally from: The Daily Tribune,
"Micro Magic" column, written by Norma Schomwetter This was in Today's
local paper, "The Daily Tribune", in a weekly column called _Micro Magic_,
written by Norma Schomwetter. The recipe was taken from a book titled
_Microwave Entertaining_ by Marcia Cone and Thelma Snyder. It sounded so
good, I thought I'd pass it along. Chicken breasts, Zucchini in Romaine
Leaves dash cayenne pepper
Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; flatten to about 1/4"; set
aside. Place romaine leaves on a 10" round micro proof platter. Cover
tightly with vented plastic wrap. Microwave on HIGH 35-50 seconds or until
pliable. Place a chicken breast half on each leaf, sprinkle with salt,
pepper and nutmeg. Divide zucchini strips into 4 bunches and place at the
top of each chicken breast. Starting at the end with the zucchini, roll the
lettuce and chicken toward the stem of the lettuce. Place rolls seam side
down in a circle on the 10" platter. Cover tightly again, and microwave on
HIGH 8-10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Drain juices. Save
in a 2 C measure. Let chicken stand, covered. To the 2 C measure, add the
remaining ingredients and microwave on HIGH 3-5 minutes. To serve, spoon 2
Tbsp of sauce onto each plate.
(sjc: the ingredients don't call for any pepper except that of the cayenne
at the end of the ingredients list. I assume the cayenne goes into the
sauce, and the pepper called for earlier would be black pepper, even though
it's not mentioned. Any comments?)
