God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
The highest science, the loftiest speculation, the mightiest philosophy, which can ever engage the attention of a child of God, is the name, the nature, the person, the work, the doings, and the existence of the great God whom he calls his Father. There is something exceedingly improving to the mind in a contemplation of the Divinity. It is a subject so vast, that all our thoughts are lost in its immensity; so deep, that our pride is drowned in its infinity. Other subjects we can compass and grapple with; in them we feel a kind of self-content, and go our way with the thought, “Behold I am wise.” But when we come to this master science, finding that our plumb line cannot sound its depth, and that our eagle eye cannot see its height, we turn away with the thought… “I am but of yesterday, and know nothing.” No subject of contemplation will tend to humble the mind, than thoughts of God.
Preheat oven to 325. Blend graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/4
cup melted butter in bottom of ungreased 8" springform pan; press mixture
evenly over bottom. In blender or food processor, blend sour cream,
remaining 1/2 cup sugar, eggs, flour and vanilla until smooth. Add cream
cheese and blend; then blend in 2 tablespoons remaining melted butter until
completely smooth. Stir in crushed candy canes, then pour mixture over
crust in pan. Bake in lower third of oven for 45 minutes. Remove; allow
to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
The chocolate leaves will form the petals of a poinsettia flower, with the
crushed candy canes in the very center.
This is from Redbook magazine, December 1985.
