The weaknesses we see in the people of the Bible are the very weaknesses we ought to recognize in ourselves. Like Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, we are vulnerable to temptation when we act on our own. Like Abraham, who lied about his wife to save his neck, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are scared. Like David, who slept with Bathsheba while his men were off to war, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are idle. Like Elijah, who wanted God to end his life, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are exhausted. Like Peter, who denied his Lord even after he promised to die for him, we are vulnerable to temptation when we are overconfident. In other words, we are vulnerable to temptation practically all the time.

INSTRUCTIONS

Another favorite of mine is a recipe which I adapted from Lynn Nusom's New
Mexico cookbook several years ago:
Wash chicken livers well and pat dry on paper towels. Put oil (or melted
chicken fat) in a frying pan and saute chicken livers until they are just
cooked through. Do not overcook, or they will be tough.
Let cool and chop livers finely in a food processor. Do not puree. It is
important that there be some texture.
Add cilantro, tequila, garlic salt, pepper, finely chopped chiles and
chopped green onions. Blend by hand until smooth.
Put in terrine or other appropriate serving container. Refrigerate, covered
with plastic wrap, for at least six hours.
Serve with crackers or Aviv whole-wheat matzoh (the world's only matzoh
that does not taste like cardboard.)
And keep in mind that 100% agave tequila is not distilled from grain. :)
