[Thoughts about truth]: 1. Thinking you know the truth isn’t arrogant or intolerant; arrogance comes from having the wrong convictions about how to treat people who don’t share it with you. 2. The whole point of searching for truth is to find it; saying that the important thing in life isn’t having truth but searching for it is like saying that the important thing in sickness isn’t getting well but seeing doctors. 3. Reasoning depends on faith; falsely placed faith will keep you from the truth, but rightly placed faith will help you find it. 4. It doesn’t make sense that there is no truth because then it wouldn’t even be true that there isn’t. 5. It doesn’t make sense to claim truth can’t be found because to claim anything at all is to imply that the claim is true. 6. The biggest and most important truths aren’t harder to find than the little ones; in fact they’re easier because God has provided help. 7. Truth isn’t whatever you sincerely believe; only a mighty magician could make something true just by thinking it. 8. Popular agreement doesn’t make a statement true; people have been swallowing nonsense since the world began. 9. The slogan that truth is whatever works isn’t a pathway to the truth; it’s a wall to keep it out.

: When baking on metal , especially at high temperatures, cookies have a
tendency to brown on the bottoms before centers are done. By stacking two
baking sheets together you put an extra layer of metal under them as well
as a thin cushion of air. The effect is to slow the heat and allow more
even baking. Recipe By

A Message from our Provider:

“Let Him therefore send and do what He will. By His grace, if we are His, we will face it, bow to it, accept it, and give thanks for it. God’s Providence is always executed in the ‘wisest manner’ possible. We are often unable to see and understand the reasons and causes for specific events in our lives, in the lives of others, or in the history of the world. But our lack of understanding does not prevent us from believing God. #Don Fortner”
