God is omniscient and knows everything. He has known everything from the beginning. Nothing is a surprise to God, nor does He ever come into possession of new knowledge. Thus God knows all people. But [foreknowledge] means more than an intellectual knowledge. It means that God knows some in a special way. In grace, in life from eternity. This is the initiative of our salvation. Redemption has its rise to God and not in man (J.P McBeth).

In a mixing bowl, combine the salt, peppercorns, chile peppers and boiling

ginger, and vodka or sherry. Put the vegetables of your choice into a
Chinese pickling jar or 2-quart glass jar.  If using a Chinese pickling
jar, seal with water according to the instructions. If using a regular
glass jar, simply cover with plastic wrap.  Do not wrap tightly as gas must
escape.  Allow the pickles to sit, unrefrigerated, for 24 hours and serve.
The pickles will keep for several days if sealed and in the refrigerator.

A Message from our Provider:

“This is the day the Lord has made! Be glad!”

When you wish to do something evil, you retire from the public into your house where no enemy may see you; from those places of your house which are open and visible to the eyes of men you remove yourself into your room; even in your room you fear some witness from another quarter; you retire into your heart, there you mediate: He is more inward than your heart. Wherever, therefore, you shall have fled, there He is. From yourself, whither will you flee? Will you not follow yourself wherever you shall flee? But since there is One more inward even than yourself, there is no place where you may flee from God angry but to God reconciled. There is no place at all whither you may flee. Will you flee from Him? Flee unto Him.
