God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Our self-abnegation is thus not for our own sake but for the sake of others. And thus it is not to mere self-denial that Christ calls us but specifically to self-sacrifice, not to unselfing ourselves but to unselfishing ourselves. Self-denial for its own sake is in its very nature ascetic, monkish. It concentrates our whole attention on self—self-knowledge, self-control - and can therefore eventuate in nothing other than the very apotheosis of selfishness. At best it succeeds only in subjecting the outer self to the inner self or the lower self to the higher self, and only the more surely falls into the slough of self-seeking, that it partially conceals the selfishness of its goal by refining its ideal of self and excluding its grosser and more outward elements. Self-denial, then, drives to the cloister, narrows and contracts the soul, murders within us all innocent desires, dries up all the springs of sympathy, and nurses and coddles our self-importance until we grow so great in our own esteem as to be careless of the trials and sufferings, the joys and aspirations, the strivings and failures and successes of our fellow-men. Self-denial, thus understood, will make us cold, hard, unsympathetic—proud, arrogant, self-esteeming—fanatical, overbearing, cruel. It may make monks and Stoics, it cannot make Christians.

Pizza dough of choice

Stick margerine
Garlic powder
Parmesean Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
After making the dough for your pizza you place it on a piece of heavy duty
aluminium foil. Spread it into a circular pizza shape. Take your pizza
cutter and score the dough into 1/2" slices and then cut the entire pie in
half. Melt a 1/2 stick of margerine and add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic
powder(add more or less to suit you). Spread this on your bread sticks. Top
the bread with parmesean cheese and place aluminum foil directly on oven
rack-no pan needed-at 450 degrees until crispy and browned. I always make
an extra crust when making pizza for my family. After eating the bread
sticks no one wants much pizza. I hope you like it. Mary in Memphis
