God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.
A pivotal Christian thinker of our time once said, “Joy is the surest sign of the presence of God... The bottom line for you and me is simply this: grimness is not a Christian virtue. There are no sad saints. If God really is the center of one's life and being, joy is inevitable. If we have no joy, we have missed the heart of the Good News and our bodies as much as our souls will suffer the consequences.”
Sift together flour and salt in a mixing bowl.Cut in shortening with a
pastry blender until mixture resembles large coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle water over flour mixture,using a fork to stir it in gently to
make it gather into a ball (the less water the better - just enough to hold
it together).Turn out onto a lightly floured board and shape with your
hands into two balls,one slightly larger than the other.Chill dough for 1
hour,then roll out large ball to fit the bottom of a 9 or 10" pie
dish.Now,mix sugar and all-purpose flour in a separate bowl,then add a dash
of salt and stir in berries.Pour mixture into the empty pie shell,then roll
out remaining ball of dough to make top crust.Crimp and trim edges,then
slash the top crust in several places.Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven
for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.Makes 1 - 10" pie.
