God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The average person in the world today, without faith and without God and without hope, is engaged in a desperate personal search throughout his lifetime. He does not really know where he has been. He does not really know what he is doing here and now. He does not know where he is going. The sad commentary is that he is doing it all on borrowed time and borrowed money and borrowed strength; and he already knows that in the end he will surely die! Man, made more like God than any other creature, has become less like God than any other creature. Created to reflect the glory of God, he has retreated sullenly into his cave; reflecting only his own sinfulness. Certainly it is a tragedy above all tragedies in this world that man, made with a soul to worship and praise and sing to God's glory, now sulks silently in his cave.
A leader should be able to communicate in a nonargumentative, nondefensive and nonthreatening way - demonstrating gentleness, patience and teachability without compromising the message of the Word of God.
1. Beat butter and granulated sugar in large bowl of electric mixer until
light and fluffy. Slowly add flour and blend well. Remove from bowl and
knead until shiny. Divide dough in half; wrap in wax paper. Refrigerate
dough until it is firm enough to roll, several hours or longer. Let dough
soften slightly on counter if too firm to roll.
2. Heat oven to 325 degrees. Roll dough between two sheets of floured wax
paper or flatten dough with floured hands to 1/4-inch thickness on a
floured surface. Use cookie cutters to make shapes. Transfer to ungreased
baking sheets. Bake only until slightly golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool on
cookie sheets just long enough to firm cookies and then remove to wire
racks to cool completely.
3. To assemble, spread half of the cookies with a small amount of jam and
sandwich with another cookie. Put confectioners' sugar into a small bowl
and drizzle in just enough milk to make a thin glaze. Frost cookies lightly
with the glaze and sprinkle with colored sugar. Let stand until glaze
hardens.
