Name: Cheddar Box Chocolate Chip Cookies

It is natural...for us to trust in ourselves. It is so natural, and so confirmed by the habits of a lifetime, that no ordinary difficulties or perplexities avail to break us of it. It takes all God can do to root up our self-confidence. He must reduce us to despair; He must bring us to such an extremity that the one voice we have in our hearts, the one voice that cries to us wherever we look round for help, is death, death, death. It is out of this despair that the superhuman hope is born. It is out of this abject helplessness that the soul learns to look up with new trust to God… How do most of us attain to any faith in Providence? Is it not by proving, through numberless experiments, that it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps? Is it not by coming, again and again, to the limit of our resources, and being compelled to feel that unless there is a wisdom and a love at work on our behalf, immeasurably wiser and more benign than our own, life is a moral chaos?... Only desperation opens our eyes to God’s love.

These are the BEST chocolate chip cookies I've ever had.  They extremely
rich, BIG (which is important when you're talking about chocolate chip
cookies) and thick.  The recipe comes from a store in Louisville, KY called
The Cheddar Box.  Enjoy!!!!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Toast pecans for 3-5 minutes.  Cream butter,
sugar and vanilla.  Mix well.  Add eggs, flour, salt and baking soda.  Mix.
Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.  Use 1/4 cup measure and drop batter onto
ungreased cookie sheet.  Bake for 18-20 minutes.  Cool on the cookie sheet.
Makes 29 cookies.

A Message from our Provider:

“Let us thank God heartily as often as we pray that we have His Spirit in us to teach us to pray. Thanksgiving will draw our hearts out to God and keep us engaged with Him; it will take our attention from ourselves and give the Spirit room in our hearts. #Andrew Murray”
