God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Christmas is based on an exchange of gifts, the gift of God to man – His unspeakable gift of His Son, and the gift of man to God – when we present our bodies a living sacrifice.
We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self-esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self. Indeed, what could be more ludicrous in a vast and glorious universe like this than a human being, on the speck called earth, standing in front of a mirror trying to find significance in his own self-image? It is a great sadness that this is the gospel of the modern world. The Christian Gospel is about 'the glory of Christ,' not about me. And when it is—in some measure—about me, it is not about my being made much of by God, but about God mercifully enabling me to enjoy making much of Him forever.
This is how I make my chicken soup. It is very very good. I figure you
could add mushrooms to it.
Cook chicken in oil until almost brown. Stir in onions and cook until
onions are soft Srie in carrot and celery and cook 3 minutes. Pour cold
water to cover everything by 2" Bring to a boil and add garlic,parsley
stems, thyme and peppercorns preferably tied in a cheesecloth. Turn down
heat and simmer 2 1/2 to 3 hours, sometimes I leave it longer. Season with
salt a few minutes before it's ready. Strain broth. Bring broth back to
heat and cook noodles in it.
I figure that at this point you could cook the mushrooms in 1 Tbs butter,
sdd 1Tbs flour to make a roux and add to soup.
Note: I prefer to make the broth the day before, chill it and remove the
fat that solidifies on top. Posted to EAT-L Digest by Leon & Miriam
