Grace is not only the divine act by which God initiates our spiritual life, but also the very power by which we are sustained in, nourished, and proceeds through that life. The energizing and sanctifying work of the indwelling Spirit is the grace of God. After Paul had prayed three times for God to deliver him from his thorn in the flesh, he received this answer: "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Cor. 12:9). Although Paul undoubtedly derived encouragement and strength to face his daily trials by reflecting on the magnificence of God’s unmerited favor, in this text he appears to speak rather of an experiential reality of a more dynamic nature. It is the operative power of the indwelling Spirit to which Paul refers. That is the grace of God.

INGREDIENTS

16	oz	Mozzarella cheese; sliced
2		Loaves frozen bread dough
		Spaghetti sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

Thaw the two loaves of dough. Divide each loaf into 5 parts and pull each
part into a square. Ladle 1/3 to 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce onto the center of
each square. Place half a slice of mozerella, folded to fit, on top of the
sauce. Fold the dough over to form a turnover and pinch edges to seal.
Place another half slice of cheese on top of each turnover and wrap each
packet in a sandwich bag. Freeze in freezer bags with 5 turnovers per bag,
including some extra sauce in a sealed bag (I froze 2 per bag and split the
remaining sauce between each of five bags, because it's just me eating them
). These turnovers are easier to handle if baked while still frozen (you
have to let them thaw a little to get the cheese off the top). Remove the
cheese slices from the tops of the turnovers. Place the turnovers on a
greased baking sheet and bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, until golden
brown. Add the cheese slices to the top during the last 5 minutes of
baking. Serve with extra warm sauce ladled on top.
