In a letter written from prison, Paul requested Timothy to bring him “the books” (2 Tim. 4:13). Charles Spurgeon, the nineteenth-century “prince of preachers,” expressed amazement at such a request from Paul: “He is inspired, and yet he wants books! He has been preaching at least for thirty years, and yet he wants books! He had seen the Lord, and yet he wants books! He had had a wider experience than most men, and yet he wants books! He had been caught up into the third heaven, and had heard things which it was unlawful for a men to utter, yet he wants books! He had written the major part of the New Testament, and yet he wants books! Spurgeon then reminds us, “He who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains proves he has no brains of his own.”

  NOTES:
*  A no-bake graham-cracker chocolate cake -- This is a delicious,
easy-to-make cake that everyone enjoys. It came from an East Indian friend
of mine who said it had been in the family. It seems western so I am
uncertain of its origins.
*  Depending on how you want the texture of the cake you can soak the
crackers until they are slightly softened or until they fall apart.
: Difficulty:  easy to moderate.
: Time:  30 minutes preparation, several hours chilling.
: Precision:  approximate measurement OK.
