If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I submit that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in the slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

C.S. Lewis

INSTRUCTIONS

There is an article in the LA Times about mustard. Here are 2 of the
recipes. Second one sounds like it would be great with the addition of some
habs! Would it keep longer with additional vinegar?
The Seed of a Bright Idea By JOHN ASH
The most basic of mustards is simply a mixture of mustard powder and water.
This recipe has a little more going for it. Remember that most homemade
mustards tend to be a bit more runny and more pungent than commercially
made, but that's their charm. Also, homemade mustard needs to mature at
least a day, and preferably longer, before being used. When it's first
made, the flavor will be almost unpleasant. Coarsely grind yellow and brown
mustard seeds in spice grinder or coffee mill. Mix together with mustard
powder and water. Allow mixture to stand at least 1 hour. Stir in vinegar,
brown sugar and salt. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 day before using.

A Message from our Provider:

“Gratitude is our ability to see the grace of GOD, morning by morning, no matter what else greets us in the course of the day.”

The way also in which texts are brought to his mind, opened up to his understanding, or applied to his heart; the light cast upon a passage when speaking from it, the suitable Scriptures which are brought to his memory to confirm his views upon it, and the sweet enjoyment which he has himself in or after the time of speaking from it; the secret prayer and meditation on the word which he has before he goes into the pulpit, and the holy savor which often rests on his spirit after the labors of the day; the sense which he has of the blessedness of the work, and his willingness to spend and be spent, labor and suffer, live and die in the Lord's service – these and similar experiences confirm him in the persuasion that the Lord has called him to the work, and is with him in it.

J.C. Philpot
