Mothers, don’t let anyone ever dupe you into thinking there’s anything ignoble or disgraceful about remaining at home and raising your family. Don’t buy the lie that you’re repressed if you’re a worker in the home instead of in the world’s workplace. Devoting yourself fully to your role as wife and mother is not repression; it is true liberation. Multitudes of women have bought the world’s lie, put on a suit, picked up a briefcase, dropped their children off for someone else to raise, and gone into the workplace, only to realize after fifteen years that they and their children have a hollow void in their hearts. Many such career women now say they wish they had devoted themselves to motherhood and the home instead.

INSTRUCTIONS

In an 8"x13" baking dish, build 2 "birdnests" out of the garlic

(or margarine) and 6 garlic cloves. In the other chicken, place 3
garlic cloves. Place chickens on top of the nests, cover with
aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
Remove chickens from oven and serve the first one for dinner. Debone
and cut up the second chicken. Strain liquid stock to remove the
cloves. Pour stock into a container and refrigerate overnight. In the
morning, the butter will have risen to the top. Scrape butter off top
for future use as a wonderful garlic butter. Place halved onion
cutside down in a hot soup pan and sear until smoking. Add water and
bring to boil. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add chicken,
salt and chopped vegetables and bring to boil. Slowly add corn meal
to thicken to desired consistency. Return to low heat and simmer 15
minutes.
Remove from heat. Serve. Enjoy!!

A Message from our Provider:

“Your pain touches God’s heart”

Let’s confess our sins to one another and pray for one another. No one grows in isolation. We grow in safe community. Sadly, such an experience is rare in our churches. It should be common among us gospel people. It should be our lifestyle. We should be obvious, even scandalous, as friends of sinners. But so often, someone must break the ice. I see no revival in our future without a new culture of confession. Personally, I have found a good way to measure my own honesty is the level of my embarrassment. If I’m not embarrassed by my confession, I’m still holding out. But it is freeing to come clean with a brother or sister and receive the ministry of prayer (James 5:16).
