What are [most] rationalizations based on? One lie. The most pernicious, heinous, Satanic lie of all. They are based on the lie that God really isn’t good after all; that God is neither able nor willing to do for our souls or bodies what they so desperately need done; that therefore God can’t be trusted with our fears and doubts and hopes and hurts. Since God doesn’t care and can’t be trusted, we’ll find satisfaction somewhere else. And so often, we do.

INSTRUCTIONS

Recipe by: Ron Morris Put ham hocks in pressure cooker with 6 cups of
water. Cook for 20 minutes (if you don't have a pressure cooker boil the
ham hocks for thirty minutes in a pot while maintaining 6 cups liquid).
Meanwhile, clean greens thoroughly and cut the leaves off each side of the
main stem, then cut the leaves into whatever size you like. Place the
greens in a large pot (I use a 12 qt. stainless steel stock pot), add ham
hock liquid, ham hocks, salt, pepper and sugar. Stir and simmer to desired
tenderness (1-6 hours). Correct for seasonings and give them a good stir
every once in a while. When done, add bits of ham from the hocks (optional)
and serve with hot pepper sauce (peppers in vinegar). **NOTE** If the ham
hock taste is too strong for you try using only one hock OR, 3 cups ham
hock liquid and 3 cups water.
