I learned early on that to be “set apart” is not a punishment; it is not an attempt on God’s part to deprive us or to condemn us to a cheerless, joyless lifestyle. It is a priceless privilege – it is a call to belong, to be cherished, to enter into an intimate love relationship with God Himself, much as a groom declares his intent to set his bride apart from all other women to be his beloved wife; to fit into the grand, eternal plan of our redeeming God for this universe; to experience the exquisite joys and purposes for which we were created; to be freed from all that destroys our true happiness.

2	c	Bisquick
2/3	c	Real buttermilk

INSTRUCTIONS

Work together Bisquick and buttermilk to smooth dough. Dip hand in just
enough Bisquick to kneed dough in bowl until smooth and elastic. Shape
dough into 16 thin patties, placing 1 atop another forming 8 biscuits in
greased 9" round baking pan. Bake at 450~ 16 to 18 minutes or until golden.
Wipe tops at once in butter. They split easily because of the way you
formed them with the 2 pieces. To make BONANZA Copycats, add 4 ts sugar.
Shape into 6 patties, 1" thick, 3" round. Place close together in greased
round baking pan. Wipe tops in soft butter. Bake 450~ 18 minutes or until
brown. Cool 10 minutes before serving. Split with thumbs instead of cutting
with knife. These do not keep well. Right out of oven wipe tops again with
dabs more butter to keep surface soft and tender. Source: Gloria Pitzer's

A Message from our Provider:

“Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.”

Even if all the things that people prayed for happened – which they do not – this would not prove what Christians mean by the efficacy of prayer. For prayer is request. The essence of request, as distinct from compulsion, is that it may or may not be granted. And if an infinitely wise Being listens to the requests of finite and foolish creatures, of course He will sometimes grant and sometimes refuse them. Invariable "success" in prayer would not prove the Christian doctrine at all. It would prove something more like magic – a power in certain human beings to control, or compel, the course of nature.
