Creamy Pumpkin Pie – We Love God!

We teach our children about the world and the Bible. We teach them that the world is bad (1 Jn. 2:15). And we teach them that the Bible is good (Pr. 16:20). That is true, but our children are rarely taught (guided) as to how the two intersect with each other. The result is that they will either be seduced by the world or they will be cocooned from the world. Both are useless to Jesus. The desired biblical mindset is when Christians reject the influence of the world (see it for the deceptive garbage that it is), but desire to love and influence those trapped the world.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350Ã¸.  Spray a 9-in pie plate with non-stick
cooking spray.  Set aside.  Mix cookie crumbs with the cinnamon and
about 2 Tbsp of the egg white  in a small bowl, crumbling the mixture
together with your fingers  until crumbs are moistened but not soggy or
sticky (add a few more  drops of egg white if needed). Turn the mixture
into the prepared pie  plate, then press it into the bottom and up the
sides of the plate.  Bake the crust for 8 minutes, then raise the oven
temperature to  400Ã¸.  While the crust bakes, whisk all of the filling
ingredients together  in a large mixing bowl. To avoid spills, pour the
mixture into the  crust while still on the oven shelf.  Bake 45
minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly  wobbly in the
center. Remove from oven and sprinkle with crystallized  ginger, if
using. Cool pie to room temperature. Garnish with fresh  fruit, if you
like. Makes 8 servings.  Approximate nutritional analysis: 200 calories
