God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
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.
Take heed of abusing this mercy of God… To sin because mercy abounds, is the devil’s logic… He that sins because of God’s mercy, shall have judgment without mercy.

INSTRUCTIONS
In earlier times in our culture, slaves were allowed to grow a few crops
for themselves, but they obviously were not crops that the "house" would
want to claim. Collard greens are a mite bitter if you don't know what to
do with them, so collard greens became a part of the soul diet in the
South.
This recipe is simple and just delicious. Don't talk to me about cooking
greens too long. In this case it is part of the tradition.
Wash the greens very well. Shake dry and place in a kettle. Add the
chicken broth and bring to a full boil. Lower the heat and keep the pot at
a heavy simmer until the greens are tender and to your liking. Add the
seasonings and bacon fat.
