Grace burst forth spontaneously from the bosom of eternal love and rested not until it had removed every impediment and found its way to the sinner's side, swelling round him in full flow. Grace does away the distance between the sinner and God, which sin had created. Grace meets the sinner on the spot where he stands; grace approaches him just as he is. Grace does not wait till there is something to attract it nor till a good reason is found in the sinner for its flowing to him... It was free, sovereign grace when it first thought of the sinner; it was free grace when it found and laid hold of him; and it is free grace when it hands him up into glory.

INSTRUCTIONS

This recipe takes quite a lot of counter space.  Start by taking four
cookie sheets and buttering them. Around each cookie sheet, spread aluminum
foil (need about 4 square feet around each cookie sheet).
In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, add the sugar, water, and corn syrup.  Make
sure not to get any on the sides of the pan.  Heat on low until everything
becomes liquid, then turn heat up to medium.  Insert candy thermometer, and
boil mixture until it reaches 240 degrees F.  Slowly, add the peanuts.  The
mixture should NOT stop boiling.  Continue heating until the mixture
reaches
310    degrees F.
Remove the pan from the stove.  Toss in the cube of butter.  Mix the soda,
salt and vanilla, and pour them into the mixture.  Mix it all up using a
wooden spoon.
Pour the mixture onto the 4 buttered cookie sheets.  Get you fingers REAL
buttery.  As the peanut brittle cools along the edges, pull it out into
thin strings. It usually takes two people to keep up with it.
As soon as everything has cooled down, store the Peanut brittle in a sealed
container.  It is very hydrophillic and will stick together if you let it
sit out.
