Marriage has all kinds of purposes: it provides the environment in which children may be born and properly reared. It provides the context in which the sexual instincts can be exercised in a God-intended way. But first and foremost, Genesis teaches us, it provides a very special friendship. In marriage a man and a woman can become the best of friends, knowing each other to such a depth that only God knows them better! This, too, is a gift from the Creator.

INGREDIENTS

9	c	Unbleached flour
4	ts	Baking soda
2	ts	Salt
3	c	Firm packed dark brown
		Sugar
3	c	Granulated sugar
4	c	Buter flavor veg.
		Shortening
4	c	Chopped pecans
4		12-oz bags semi-sweet real
		Chocolate chips

		Nuts*

INSTRUCTIONS

Combine flour, baking soda, salt and both sugars in very large bowl. Mix in
the shortening with your fingers. Stir in the chips and nuts. Store whole
mix in airtight container in a cool dry place for up to six months. For
longer storage refrigerate or freeze. **I package the mix in individual
zip-lock bags. TO MAKE THE COOKIES: Stir the mix to distribute the nuts and
chips and then, measure seven level cups of the mix into a large bowl. (*
spoon in and level, do not pack) Stir to distribute the nuts and chips. Add
two large eggs that have been lightly beaten and 2 teaspoons of vanilla
extract. Blend well. This creates a heavy batter, but don't worry it will
work. Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls on buttered baking sheets. Bake in
preheated 375 oven for 10 - 12 minutes. Cool slightly on sheets and then
transfer to an airtight container. One batch makes about 2 dozen cookies.

A Message from our Provider:

“A family altar can alter a family.”

Consider the irony. At a certain point in time the One who was creator, would actually become part of His creation. The sustainer of the world would be killed by the hands He was sustaining. The One who was loved by the Father, would be predetermined to be rejected by the Father. The One who knew no sin, would become sin. And the One predestined to die for sinners, would be predestined before there ever was sin. First Peter 1:20, says He “has appeared in these last times for the sake of you.” The One who needs nothing, would come to the aid of those who hated Him and purchase a people for Himself.
