God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
[The church] has never tried to explain the mystery of the Trinity, but only sought to formulate the doctrine of the Trinity in such a manner that the errors which endangered it were warded off.
What is the worst the opposition can do? Kill you – though doubtless that will occur, at least for now, in this country. But even if that were case, the Scripture strips away that excuse citing that death for the Christian is the greatest event possible because only death has the ability to break the seal and usher you into inexpressible glory. Could the problem be that we simply have a too great a fascination with the things going on here and not enough desire to spend eternity with Christ? If we really “prefer” to be “home with the Lord” (2 Cor. 5:8), intimate, personal, visible communion with Christ that far exceeds our communion with Christ here (Heb. 11:10, 13), then we must be “absent from the body” (2 Cor. 5:8). In other words, we must die. Therefore death from that perspective doesn’t sound so bad. Only death can release me from “absent from the Lord” to be “home with the Lord.” So the worst the enemy can do is send me to paradise!
Now that I've been trying to fall back on the wagon again I recently took a
look in the fatfree archives for the cocoa/chocolate granola recipe I'd
posted here some years ago. I found my apricot granola one but not the
chocolate, so I tried what I *thought* I'd probably done before, it worked
out fine, and I'm posting it here.
If, like me, you have big cravings for something sweet, chocolate and
crunchy, I think you'll find this simple recipe very worth making, because
when you're crunching it up in your mouth it's like eating a chocolate
cookie.
The amount of salt is just on the edge of noticeable, and I think it adds
to the effect by suggesting the kind of slightly-salty taste you get from
having buttered a baking pan (or the kind of taste you get with
chocolate-covered peanuts). So if you either shouldn't have or don't care
for salt, you will probably want to use less.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees:
Dump oats, cocoa and salt into a big bowl, and mix until the oats are
evenly coated. Add honey and vanilla and work this mixture with your
*hands* until it's all evenly mixed/ coated.
Spread it all out on a large cookie sheet and bake for 30 minutes, taking
it out every five minutes to stir it around.
If you live in a humid climate like I do, you'll want to put it in an
airtight container shortly after taking it out of the oven, so it stays
very crunchy.
When I made this the other day I also put in 1/2 tsp of coconut extract ...
almond extract would probably also be good. Posted to fatfree digest V97
