Sin comes to us, taps us on the shoulder or tugs at our shirttail and whispers in our ear: “You deserve better than what God has provided. He’s holding out on you. You deserve to feel good about yourself. I’ll affirm you in a way no one else can. Why live in misery any longer? Come to me. I’ll give you a sense of power you’ve never known before. I’ll expand your influence. I’ll fill your heart with a sense of accomplishment. I’ll nourish your soul. You’ve never had a physical rush like the one I’ve got in store for you. Obeying God is boring. It’s a pain. He’s always telling you to do stuff that’s difficult and burdensome and inconvenient or ordering you to forsake the few things that really bring you happiness. Come on. You’ve only got one life. Obedience is ugly. My way is fun. My way feels good.”

A Malaysian/Indonesian dish; for Sumatran style beef curry stop before you
evaporate the liquid (see recipe)
Mix the chile, ginger, galangal, garlic, onion, salt, turmeric and
coriander to a paste in a blender, food processor or morter. Add thick
coconut milk as needed to help blending.
In a wok, deep skillet or heavy pan  combine paste, remaining coconut milk,
lemon grass, salam leaf and beef.  Bring just to a boil, reduce heat and
simmer uncovered until beef is tender (2-3 hours).  If you stop here you
have a basic type of beef curry. Otherwise, continue cooking over medium
heat, stirring, untnil the liquid evaporates and the oil begins to
separate.  Fry the meat carefully until browned; be careful not to scorch
the meat. Searves 6-8 with other dishes.

A Message from our Provider:

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
