Every Christian who struggles with depression struggles to keep their hope clear. There is nothing wrong with the object of their hope – Jesus Christ is not defective in any way whatsoever. But the view from the struggling Christian's heart of their objective hope could be obscured by disease and pain, the pressures of life, and by Satanic fiery darts shot against them… All discouragement and depression is related to the obscuring of our hope, and we need to get those clouds out of the way and fight like crazy to see clearly how precious Christ is.

INSTRUCTIONS

Here is an approximate recipe.
I have made them (and bbq pork pastries, etc) by using a regular white
bread recipe, and letting it rise once. Then, I roll out small balls of it
until they are about 6" wide (about 1/4" or less thick). Using sweet bean
paste (made from soy beans and purchased at a chinese grocery) I  put a
tablespoon or so of the paste in middle. Gather up all the edges to the
middle and twist closed. Set onto a steamer rack twisted side up.
Steam till done (gosh, can I remember how long that is?? i am guess from
memory, so don't take me at my word)...maybe about 15 minutes? perhaps 20.
Hope this helps more than confuses!
