Our external delights, our ambition and reputation, and our human relationships – for all these things our desires are eager, our appetites strong, our love warm and affectionate, our zeal ardent. Our hearts are tender and sensitive when it comes to these things, easily moved, deeply impressed, much concerned, and greatly engaged. We are depressed at our losses and excited and joyful about our worldly successes and prosperity. But when it comes to spiritual matters, how dull we feel! How heavy and hard our hearts! We can sit and hear of the infinite height, and depth, and length, and breadth of the love of God in Christ Jesus, of His giving His infinitely dear Son – and yet be cold and unmoved!... If we are going to be emotional about anything, shouldn’t it be our spiritual lives? Is anything more inspiring, more exciting, more loveable and desirable in heaven or earth than the gospel of Jesus Christ?... The gospel story is designed to affect us emotionally – and our emotions are designed to be affected by its beauty and glory. It touches our hearts at their tenderest parts, shaking us deeply to the core. We should be utterly humbled that we are not more emotionally affected than we are.

Some comments from the cookbook author: "Two major rules for ice cream:
First, it should be full of flavor, so that, for example, ...  caramel ice
cream tastes like caramel.  You should not have to guess the flavor; it
should be evident from the first bite. Second, the texture should be rich
and smooth (the addition of milk prevents it from becoming too heavy)."
Place the egg yolks in a large mixing bowl.  Add the salt and whisk until
smooth.  Set aside.
Combine the sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan large enough to
eventually hold the milk and cream.  Dissolve the sugar in the water over
low heat. This may take a while. An alternative is to use the microwave,
and then transfer the sugar solution to a saucepan. Increase to high heat
and cook the syrup until it is golden amber colored. While the sugar is
carmelizing, scald the milk and cream.
As soon as the caramel is a golden-amber color, slowly add the milk and
cream, 2 T.  at a time.  Be very careful, as the mixture will bubble up.
Whisk the caramel cream into the eggs.  Strain and refrigerate until cold.
Freeze according to ice cream machine instructions. Yield: 1 quart

A Message from our Provider:

“Luke 1:44 – Life Begins at Conception.”

Some people are fond of debating whether or not we have free will. The Bible’s answer is that it depends on what you mean by “free.” If by “free” you mean that we do what we want to do, that nothing forces us to believe or to act against our will, then the Bible’s answer is “yes.” Our will is always free to act in accord with its nature. But if by “free” you mean that somehow our will is morally neutral and above the fray, able to choose between good and evil on its own merits, independent of predisposition or motive, then the answer is a clear and unequivocal “no.” Our nature is corrupted and, as Paul says, we are sold as slaves to sin. We can no more choose not to be sinners than a fish can choose not to be a swimmer. It’s our nature.
