Coming to Christ means I die to self. It’s allowing Christ to reign as Lord in my heart and desiring to see Him live His will through me. It’s death to the relentless but never-satisfying quest for affirmation. It’s freedom from the vain need to promote self. It’s separation from fight to find personal worth and identity. Fighting less for my rights. Decreasing so He increases in me. It’s finding approval in Him and realizing the true fulfillment in living for His glory. Death to self so life might live within us. When the pride goes so does the selfish agendas and the traits like the bitterness, the jealousy, the unforgiving spirits, the critical attitudes. Christ reigns resulting in joy and peace. Eyes are opened to new horizons. Curse is reversed. Life is restored.

INGREDIENTS

1	ts	Dried sage; crumbled
1	ts	Dried rosemary; crumbled
1	ts	Garlic; finely chopped
1	ts	Salt
		Pepper; freshly ground
4		Pork loin chops; 1 " thick, ctr cut
2	tb	Margarine
1	tb	Olive oil
3/4	c	Dry white wine; vermouth or sherry
1	tb	Fresh parsley; finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Trim all fat from pork chops (12 oz. each). Combine the sage, rosemary,
garlic, salt and a few grindings fo pepper. Press a little of this mixture
firmly into both sides of each pork chop.
2. In a heavy 10- to 12-inch skillet, melt the margarine with the olive oil
over moderate heat. When the foam subsides, place the chops in the hot fat
and brown them for 2 or 3 minutes on each side, turning them carefully with
tongs. When the chops are golden brown, remove them from the pan to a
platter and keep warm.
3. Pour off all but a thin film of fat from the pan, add 1/2 cup of the
wine and bring it to a boil. Return the chops to the pan, cover and reduce
the heat to the barest simmer. Basting with the pan juices occasionally,
cook the chops for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced
with the tip of a sharp knife.
4. Transfer the chops to a heated serving platter and pour5 into the
skillet the remianing 1/4 cup of wine. Boil it briskly over high heat,
stirring and scraping in any browned bits that cling to the bottom and
sides of the plan,until it has reduced to a few tablespoons of syrupy
glaze. Remove the skillet from the heat. Taste for seasoning and stir in
the parsley.
5. Pour the sauce over the pork chops and serve.
