Where there is no “moral gravity” – that is, no force that draws us to the center – there is spiritual weightlessness. We float on feelings that will carry us where we never meant to go; we bubble with emotional experiences that we often take for spiritual ones; and we are puffed up with pride. Instead of seriousness, there is foolishness. Instead of gravity, flippancy. Sentimentality takes the place of theology. Our reference point will never serve to keep our feet on solid rock, for our reference point, until we answer God’s call, is merely ourselves. We cannot possibly tell which end is up. Paul calls them fools who “…measure themselves by themselves, to find in themselves their own standard of comparison!”

INGREDIENTS

1		Envelope active dry yeast
3/4	c	Warm water; (105°F to 115°F)
2	c	All-purpose flour
1	ts	Salt
		Yellow cornmeal

INSTRUCTIONS

Sprinkle yeast over water in a small bowl; stir to dissolve yeast. Let
stand about 5 minutes. Stir in flour and salt to make a soft dough. Turn
dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5
minutes, adding more flour if necessary. Shape into a ball. Place in a
greased bowl; turn to coat. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled
in bulk, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425&deg;F. Sprinkle two large baking sheets or jelly-roll pans
with cornmeal. Punch down dough. Divide dough in half; roll or pat each
dough piece into an 8-inch round if making pizza. For focaccia, roll or pat
whole dough piece into a 13x9-inch rectangle. Top dough as desired. Bake on
lowest rack 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Makes 6 servings.
