From the Book of Acts, we can conclude the following: One, with prayer and in dependence on the Holy Spirit we need to verbally share the Gospel living lives that make the message attractive. Two, we can point people to Christ though the Bible, creation, conscience and personal testimony. Three, we must share Christ and when we do, we must include His work on the cross and resurrection. And four we call people to receive salvation in Christ through their faith and repentance. We share and trust the Lord to open hearts. And when people are truly saved, their lives will testify to the fact as they are filled with the fruit of the Spirt and desire to obey the Lord, seen initially in water baptism. Then they join a local church and participate in the Great Commission, proclaiming the Gospel to others.

INGREDIENTS

		Milkweed buds
		;Boiling water
		Butter; to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Unopened buds are delicious when cooked but must be treated first to remove
bitterness.  Put them in a pot, pour on boiling water, boil one minute,
drain, and pour on more boiling water. Repeat this process three times or
until no bitterness remains when you taste them. Cook them a little longer
until just tender and serve with butter.
Reader Jean McLain of Peoria, IL wrote "The Herb Companion" and asked: "Any
ideas what can be done to use milkweed blossoms? The fragrance is musky but
not unpleasant. Could they be used in moth-repellant bags?" HC responded
with the above recipe and said they could find no mention of any use of the
blossoms as a moth repellent.
