Our crimes merited our sufferings, but His own mercy made Him a sufferer for us; for us He sweat those drops of blood, for us He trod the winepress alone, for us He assuaged the rigor of divine justice, for us, who were not only miserable, but offending creatures, and overwhelmed with more sins to be hated, than with misery to be pitied. He was crucified for us by His love, who deserved to die by His power, and laid the highest obligation upon us, who had laid the highest offenses upon Him.

blended and then on high for 2 minutes.   Add eggs and remaining flour and
beat just til blended.  Stir in nuts.

minutes.  (Done when tester comes out clean when inserted near center.)
Cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes.  Turn out of pan and cool completely on

These usually either get stored in the freezer til gift time, or they get
cut into as soon as they are cool enough to hold onto and cut.
