God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
[Some] take some things of Christ not the whole Christ. They think it’s only believing on Him as a Saviour for pardon of sin; they do not choose Him as Lord to whom in all obedience they resign themselves. This is indeed the rock that splits many, tell them of believing in Christ, and they think that is only to rest on Him for salvation, they attend not that it is receiving of Christ for all ends and purposes God sent Him into the world.
Another benefit of giving is freedom. It's a matter of basic physics. The greater the mass, the greater the hold that mass exerts. The more things we own – the greater their total mass – the more they grip us, setting us in orbit around them. Finally, like a black hole, they suck us in… We think we own our possessions, but too often they own us.. .Every item we buy is one more thing to think about, talk about, clean, repair, rearrange, fret over, and replace when it goes bad.
Cream butter and sugar at least 10 minutes by hand, or 5 minutes in
electric mixer. The mixture should be thick and white. Add eggs one at a
time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. If the baker's
ammonia is in granular form, crush to a powder with a rolling pin or a
bottle. Sift flour and bakers ammonia together. Stir flour into egg mixture
and blend thoroughly. Dough will be soft. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
Cut 6 to 8 -- 8" rounds from waxed paper. Spread the dough thinly and
evenly on paper rounds, leaving about half-inch margin to allow for
expansion during baking.
Place to or three round (whatever it will hold) on a baking sheet. Bake at
400° 8 to 10 minutes, until golden brown on edges. Remove at once from
cookie sheet, but do not remove paper until you are ready to assemble cake.
Assemble by placing well-spiced apple butter between each layer. Leave top
unadorned.
*The baker's amonia (ammonium carbonate or hartshorn) may be bought at
drugstores. Or 3 3/4 tsp baking powder may be substituted.
