If, then, I find taught in one part of the Bible that everything is foreordained, that is true; and if I find, in another Scripture, that man is responsible for all his actions, that is true; and it is only my folly that leads me to imagine that these two truths can ever contradict each other. I do not believe that they can ever be welded into one upon any earthly anvil, but they certainly shall be one in eternity. They are two lines that are so nearly parallel, that the human mind which pursues them farthest will never discover that they converge, but they do converge and they will meet somewhere in eternity, close to the throne of God, whence all truth doth spring.

C.H. Spurgeon

INSTRUCTIONS

Hope my Mother - in - law doesn't mind :-) This is my MIL's recipe for
Christmas sugar cookies - obviously you can use any shape you want :-) We
usually make these in large batches a month or so before Christmas and
freeze them until they are needed for whatever event we are attending that
requires us to bring cookies
:-) They thaw wonderfully!

Cream 2 cups sugar and 1 cup shortening together. Add 2 large eggs, 1 cup
buttermilk and 1/2 tsp. vanilla and beat well. In a separate bowl combine
remaining ingredients. Add to shortening mixture.
Roll out gently on floured surface. Use floured cookie cutters. Bake 400
degrees Farenheit for about 10 minutes or until done.
