Here are a few key principles for good Bible interpretation: 1. Read within the context. What is the context of the immediate verse in relation to the paragraph and the book as a whole? 2. Seek to determine what the author intended to convey to his original audience. What was his purpose in writing? Who were his recipients? 3. Interpret literally unless grammatically called to do so otherwise. 4. Interpret in line with the history and culture of the author’s day. 5. Compare Scripture with Scripture. Cross-reference starting with the book, author, testament and Bible. 6. Use commentaries to check your work.

Quantity: Makes 3 dozen 1-1/2-inch squares Source: Dear Abby's "More
Favorite Recipes"
Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart
sauce-pan.
Combine sugars, cream, milk and butter in saucepan. Cook over medium heat,
stirring constantly, until sugars dissolve and mixture comes to a boil.
Cook to soft ball stage (238 degrees on candy thermometer), stirring only
if necessary. Immediately remove from heat and cool to lukewarm (110
degrees). DO NOT STIR.
Add vanilla and beat vigorously until very thick and mixture starts to lose
its gloss. Quickly stir in nuts and spread into prepared baking dish. Score
while warm, and cut when firm.
Michael's notes: This recipe contains directions (about not over-stirring)
that are applicable to most fudge recipes. The buttering the sides of the
saucepan is also a life saver in other fudge recipes.

A Message from our Provider:

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
