There is a lot of confusion today about the self-love referred to in this verse: “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Gal. 5:14). The most common error is to assume that this is a command to loveyourself and that self-love means self-esteem. Both of these assumptions are wrong. Paul and Moses (Lev. 19:18) and Jesus (Lk. 10:27) assume that all people love themselves; they don’t command it: “You shall love your neighbor as you (already) love yourself.” And the self-love they assume is not self-esteem but self-interest: all people want to be happy, even if they often don't know what will really make them happy.

INGREDIENTS

4	lg	White potatoes, unpared, scrubbed Boiling, salted water
1/2	ts	Salt
1/4	ts	Ground white pepper
1/4	ts	Ground black pepper
1/4	ts	Onion powder
1/4	ts	Garlic powder
1/8	ts	Ground cumin
1/8	ts	Ground cayenne pepper About 2 c. oil, for frying

INSTRUCTIONS

Cut the potatoes into 1" cubes.  Add to boiling salted water. Cook just
until fork tender but not mushy, about 7 minutes. Drain and cool.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the salt, peppers, onion and garlic power,
cumin and cayenne pepper.  Add the potatoes to the spices. Toss to coat all
pieces evenly.  You may do this much in advance and hold the potatoes as
long as an hour before completing the dish. Heat about 1" oil in a wok or
deep skillet to about 350 degrees or until a piece of potato sizzles when
added to the oil. Add the potatoes. Fry until golden brown on all sides,
turning frequently. Remove from fat, drain and serve immediately.
