God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
What keeps us from being thoughtful listeners?... The simple answer is that listening is expensive. It requires changing the pace at which we live our lives. It takes time... The more profound answer to the question has to do with our humanity. We are members of a fallen race. We are proud, and proud people don’t listen well. We are fearful people, and fear keeps us from entrusting ourselves to others. We think more highly of ourselves than we ought. We are frequently hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. We are compulsively self-serving and often too full of ourselves to humbly listen to others.
Wash and trim Brussels sprouts. With tip of knife, cut an X in base of
each. Place in large saucepan; add just enough water to cover. Bring to a
boil over high heat. Reduce heat; simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until tender.
Meanwhile, in medium skillet, cook bacon until crisp.
Drain, reserving 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in skillet; cool. Add flour
to cooled drippings; cook and stir over medium-low heat until bubbly.
Remove from heat. In small bowl, combine brown sugar, water, vinegar and
mustard; mix well. Gradually stir into bacon drippings mixture. Drain
Brussels sprouts; place in serving bowl. Add hot bacon dressing mixture;
