We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction.

medium heat 2 minutes; stir in vanilla. Cool 15 to 20 minutes.
Beat egg whites at high speed until foamy. Gradually add remaining 1/4 cup

Notes: Cloud Craft Soufflés rely on stiffly beaten egg whites to create
their magnificent proportions. Here are a few helpful tips for high and
mighty soufflés.
Separate egg yolks from whites while eggs are cold.
To make your soufflé rise higher, let egg whites sit at room temperature 20
minutes before beating them.
Beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Lift beaters up from bowl to see
if peaks hold their shape.
Fold egg whites into the soufflé mixture by cutting down through the center
of the mixtures, across the bottom, and up the sides of the bowl. Give the
bowl a quarter turn, and repeat folding and turning until mixtures are
blended.
