The Apostle [Paul] is asking in Philippians 1 which is most worthwhile for him, to live or to die. Often has that question presented itself to us, and perhaps we like the Apostle, have answered that “we are in a strait.” But I fear we may have used the words in a sense far different from Paul's. When we have wished for death, we meant to say, “I know not which alternative I ought most to dread, the afflictions of life, from which death would release me, or the terrors of death, from which life protects me.” In other words, life and death look to us like two evils of which we know not which is the less. As for the Apostle, they look to him like two immense blessings of which he knows not which is the better (Adolphe Monod).

INSTRUCTIONS

DALLAS DANDY RUB
DALLAS DANDY MARINADE
           SAUCE:
"The night before you plan to barbecue, stir together the dry rub
ingredients in a small bowl. Combine 2 tablespoons of the rub with the
other marinade ingredients in a blender and puree. Place the brisket in a
plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Refrigerate the brisket
overnight.
Before you begin to barbecue, take the brisket from the refrigerator.
Drain and discard the marinade. Pat the brisket down with all but 2 tbsps
of the remaining rub, coating the slab well. Let the brisket sit at room
temperature for about 45 minutes.
Prepare the smoker for barbecuing, bringing the temperature up to 200 to
220    degrees F.
Transfer the brisket to the smoker and cook for 3 hours. Place the meat
on a sheet of heavy-duty foil, sprinkle it with the rest of the rub, and
close the foil tightly. Cook for an additional 1-1/2 to 2 hours, until
well-done and tender.
Let the brisket sit at room temperature for 15 minutes. Trim any excess
fat and slice the brisket thinly against the grain, changing direction as
the grain changes...". Serve with your favorite barbecue sauce.
