Perfectionism means striving for an impossibly high standard, usually for selfish ends. In the case of those who are anorexic, the perfectionist drive centers on having the perfect body and eating perfectly; but the underlying issues are selfish motives and sinful desires. Their distorted mind-set descends into bizarre thinking and behaviors because they are actually worshipping themselves. Hardened by their own pride, they become willing to destroy their own body and sacrifice themselves in the pursuit of their ideal self-image. Blinded by their self-righteousness, they cannot see Christ as their righteousness.

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine eggs, pumpkin, 3/4 cup sugar, half-and-half, 3 tablespoons bourbon,
cinnamon, ginger, and salt; mix well. Pour mixture into the pie shell; bake
at 425 for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, and bake an additional 45
minutes or until set.  Set aside to cool. Combine butter and 1/4 cup brown
sugar in a saucepan; cook over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolved.

produce fumes (do not boil); remove from heat, ignite, and pour over pie.
Serve pie when flames die down.
