Budget Saving Hints – We Love God!

In considering the conflict between the sovereignty of God in election and the human responsibility, J.I. Packer writes: What is an antinomy? The Shorter Oxford Dictionary defines it as ';”a contradiction between conclusions which seem equally logical, reasonable or necessary.” For our purposes, however, this definition is not quite accurate; the opening words should read “an appearance of contradiction.” For the whole point of an antinomy – in theology, at any rate – is that it is not a real contradiction, though it looks like one. It is an apparent incompatibility between two apparent truths. An antinomy exists when a pair of principles stand side by side, seemingly irreconcilable, yet both undeniable.

(1) Buy whole chickens and cut it up.  You'll save 30 ~ 40 percent
over pre-cut chicken.  (2) For beef and pork always buy the family
pack. Again about a 15%  savings. (3) Pasta !!! Cheap and really
versitile. Always have lots on  hand. Lasagna can be especially good.
Make a big one, cut it into  meal size individual portions and freeze
them.  (4) Rice !!!  Again cheap and you can do a lot with it. Take 2
cups  of rice steam, when done scramble 3 eggs, throw in some green
onions  and any left over chicken scraps (when butchering a chicken
there's  always little bits and pieces kicking aroud), add the rice,
some soy  sauce and fry it on up.  (5) Stir fries.  Lots of inexpensive
veggies and some meat.  For 4 and 5 you don't need a wok just a big fry
pan. A wok is nice  but not really needed.  (6) Always have something
like Kraft Dinner, etc. on hand for those  nights you really don't fell
like cooking for yourself. As a bachelor  or bachelorette sometimes
it's a real drag to cook but for health  reasons you should eat
something.  (7) A microwave is a must.  You can pick up a little one
for no more  than $80 dollars.  They really help for defrosting and
heating  leftovers  Recipe By     : Chris Rines <CHRISR@WMCV01.  HOSP.
