God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

A kingdom is a domain ruled by a single monarch who has absolute sovereignty, who functions with unilateral authority, whose will is non-contradictable, authoritative, absolute. It is not representative, it is not democratic. The will of the people does not rule. The will of the people virtually has no impact. The duty of the people is to submit. The duty of the people is to obey. The duty of the people is to fall under the standards and commands that are determined by the king and do whatever it is he asks. This is true of the kingdom of God… The kingdom of God has come and those of us who know Christ are in it. We are in it and the Lord Jesus Christ is our King.

John MacArthur

It should fill us with joy, that infinite wisdom guides the affairs of the world. Many of its events are shrouded in darkness and mystery, and inextricable confusion sometimes seems to reign. Often wickedness prevails, and God seems to have forgotten the creatures that He has made. Our own path through life is dark and devious, and beset with difficulties and dangers. How full of consolation is the doctrine, that infinite wisdom directs every event, brings order out of confusion, and light out of darkness, and, to those who love God, causes all things, whatever be their present aspect and apparent tendency, to work together for good.

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Dairy		Cakes	1	Servings

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Heavy cream
8	oz	Semisweet chocolate
		Chopped coarse
2	T	Orange flavored liqueur
		Oranges, halved/sliced thin
		into half rounds/about 14
		slices

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE GANACHE: In a small saucepan bring the cream just to a simmer.
Remove the pan from the heat, add the chocolate and let the mixture
stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the liqueur and continue to
stir the ganache until smooth and tepid. Strain through a fine sieve
into a small pitcher or a bowl with a lip.  ASSEMBLY: Cut an 8"
cardboard round and put one teaspoon of the  mousse in the center of
it, then set one of the cake layers, bottom  side up on the cardboard.
Cover the cake with some of the mousse,  smoothing it into an even
layer, and top it with the remaining layer,  bottom side up. Cover the
top and the sides of the cake with the  remaining mousse, smoothing it
with a spatula, and chill the cake  until it is cold. Set the cake on a
rack over a jelly roll pan and  pour the creme ganache over it,
smoothing it with a spatula to  completely cover the top and sides of
the cake. Let the cake stand at  room temperature for 10 minutes and
scrape any excess chocolate glaze  from the jelly roll pan back into
the saucepan. Heat the excess  ganache, stirring, until smooth, cool it
to tepid, and pour it over  the cake, smoothing it with a spatula over
the top and sides of the  cake. Chill the cake until the glaze is set.
Transfer the reserved  chocolate mixture to a pastry bag. Arrange
orange slices, rounded  sides up on the top of the cake, so that one
end of the slice is  toward the center and the other is toward the edge
of the cake. Pipe  the chocolate mixture along the base on each side of
the orange  slices. Arrange the remaining cream decoratively around the
bottom  edge of the cake. Let the cake stand at room temperature for at
least  15 minutes before serving.  From the databases of Barb Day
