Name: Braised Asparagus
Ingredients: 3 tb Unsalted butter; 2 lb Medium asparagus spears; tough ends removed; Fine sea salt; to taste; Freshly ground pepper; to taste; Coarse see salt; to taste

Thoughts of the glory of Christ are too high and too hard for us. We cannot delight in them for very long without becoming weary and turning away from them. We are unspiritual, our thoughts and desires being taken up with other things. If we would stir ourselves to believe “the things the angels desire to look into”, our spiritual understanding and strength would increase daily. We would then show more of the glory of Christ by the way we live and death itself would be welcome to us!
