God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
God is not a cosmic killjoy. I know some people who believe He is. They think God runs around saying, “There’s one having fun; get him!” They believe God wants to rain on everybody’s parade. But that isn’t so. God made you. He knows how you operate best. And He knows what makes you happy. The happiness He gives doesn’t stop when the party’s over. It lasts because it comes from deep within.
God does not commit evil, but He ordains that it exists. The prophet Isaiah recorded, “I form light and create darkness, I make well-being and create calamity, I am the Lord, who does all these things” (Isaiah 45:7). Evil exists by God’s permission and through the foreordained choice of those whom He created. Otherwise, we’d end up with a separate power that causes evil, in which case God would no longer be sovereign. However, evil is not a glitch in God’s plan but rather an integral piece of God’s plan!
Layer or toss the first nine ingredients in a large bowl or large plastic
container with lid. (Any combination and/or quantity of salad ingredients
can be used to suit your tastes or preferences.) On top of this salad
mixture, layer the next three ingredients in the order listed. (These
ingredients should not be altered.) Spread dressing (see ingredients and
directions below) evenly on salad to sides of bowl or container. Spread
shredded cheddar cheese on top of salad dressing. Cover salad with plastic
wrap or lid and let set overnight in refrigerator to develop flavors fully.
Salad Dressing:
3 to 4 c. mayo or salad dressing, as preferred 6 T. sugar salt and pepper,
to taste
Mix well. Let mixture sit in refrigerator until salad is ready for it. Stir
again before spreading on salad. (If you use salad dressing instead of
mayo, you might want to decrease the qty of sugar used by a couple of
tablespoons or omit entirely to suit your particular tastes.)
Notes: This is THE one dish that I am required to bring when my family
gathers for Holidays. I'm not allowed in without it. <g>
