What is the result of…people-idolatry? As in all idolatry, the idol we choose to worship soon owns us. The object we fear overcomes us. Although insignificant in itself, the idol becomes huge and rules us. It tells us how to think, what to feel, and how to act. It tells us what to wear, it tells us to laugh at the dirty joke, and it tells us to be frightened to death that we might have to get up in front of a group and say something. The whole strategy backfires. We never expect that using people to meet our desires leaves us enslaved to them.

Put bacon fat in 10" iron skillet.  Place skillet in oven and turn oven to
500 degrees.  Meanwhile, combine dry ingredients, if using, or use the
self-rising corn meal, in a mixing bowl.  Stir the eggs into the
buttermilk. Pour it into the dry mixture and stir until everything is
moistened. Remove skillet from the oven and pour the melted fat into the
batter.  Stir and then pour batter into hot skillet. Return skillet to
oven.  Bake 25 minutes or until top is lightly browned. Turn cornbread out
onto serving plate.  (If you leave it in the skillet, the crust gets
soggy). Serves 8.
NOTE: You may substitute 2 c self-rising cornmeal for the cornmeal, salt,
baking powder, and baking soda.
