God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
A Christian is not a person who experiences no bad desires. A Christian is a person who is at war with those desires by the power of the Spirit. Conflict in your soul is not all bad. Even though we long for the day when our flesh will be utterly defunct and only pure and loving desires will fill our hearts, yet there is something worse than the war within between flesh and Spirit – namely, no war within because the flesh controls the citadel and all the outposts. Praise God for the war within! Serenity in sin is death. The Spirit has landed to do battle with the flesh. So take heart if your soul feels like a battlefield at times. The sign of whether you are indwelt by the Spirit is not that you have no bad desires, but that you are at war with them!
The New Testament warns against gossiping. The Greek word translated “gossip” means whisper or whisperer. In other words, the focus is not on the falsehood of the word but on the fact that it needs to be surreptitious. It is not open and candid and forthright. It has darkness about it. It does not operate in the light of love. It is not aiming at healing. It strokes the ego’s desire to be seen as right without playing by the rules of love.
Lightly flour chicken legs and thighs. Brown well on all sides in the
butter. Add bacon, onions,garlic,cloves, crumbled bay leaf, thyme, salt and
pepper. Over this mixture pour the mushrooms and wine. Add a LITTLE more
wine if it cooks down, simmer this all together for about 45 minutes. Cool
and remove chicken to a deep pie dish (I use my stone pie dish) Add the
eggs, peeled and halved, pour the pan liquid over all. Top with a crust of
rolled out pie dough, cut vent in top (you can insert a paper cornucopia to
give the pie dough some height, for a pretty rounded top). Brush pastry
with 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 t. cream. Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or
until crust is brown.
Tootie Notes: Don't know where I got this but have the date '73 on the top
of card. We have eaten this for ages. It is the prettiest chicken pie when
served. We make daisy like cut outs with cookie cutters from pie dough and
attach to the crust with a little water to wet the dough to adhere. The
rolled up paper cornucopia will help give the pie a rounded top instead of
"sinking" in on the chicken legs.
I use those little things for other things. We find them at gourmet or
bakery shops. But, they are not necessary, it is good sunk in or not!
