Here are a few suggestions to help you get started [with Bible meditation]. 1. Prepare. Issues of posture, time and place are secondary, but not unimportant. The only rule would be: do whatever is most conducive to concentration. 2. Peruse. Read, repeat the reading, write it out, then re-write it. 3. Picture. Apply your imagination and senses to the truth of the text. Envision yourself personally engaged in the relationship or encounter or experience of which the text speaks. 4. Ponder. Reflect on the truth of the Word; brood over the truth of the text; absorb it, soak it in, as you turn it over in your mind. 5. Pray. At some point take the truth as the Holy Spirit has illuminated it and pray it back to God whether in petition, thanksgiving, or intercession. 6. Personalize. Where possible, according to sound principles of biblical interpretation, replace proper names and proper pronouns with your own name. 7. Praise. Worship the Lord for who He is and what He has done and how it has been revealed in Scripture. 8. Practice. Commit yourself to doing what the Word commands. The aim of meditation is moral transformation.

I missed a bunch of posts, so I don't know if anyone posted any Chinese
recipes in honor of Chinese New Year, but I got these from another list and
they were obtained from www.copycat.com a wealth of copycat recipes
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy,
then add egg yolks. Next add the extracts. Slowly add the flour and baking
powder to the creamed butter and sugar and continue to mix well. Roll dough
into 1 inch balls and place on a ungreased cookie sheet. Press an almond
into the center of each cookie, and flatten cookies slightly with the edge
of a spoon. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until they are golden brown.
To enhance the color you can use an egg wash on the cookies before you
place them into the oven.
