Though corrupted by the fall, God has wired men and women differently. Men are built by God to be protectors and providers to be defenders and conquerors for good. And when we don’t use these tools in the home and in the church, we’ll find ourselves using them in other meaningless (from an eternal perspective) activities like the rest of the culture. We immerse ourselves in the pursuit of money and yard work and athletics and automobiles and high scores on video games. We devote our hearts to the things that are carnal, worldly and selfish.

INSTRUCTIONS

Saute the onions in butter with bay leaf* until the onions are translucent.
Add the chopped broccoli, water or stock and salt. Cook about 10 minutes,
covered (until the broccoli is tender, but still bright green) Puree'
little by littel with milk in the blender. Make sure it is puree'd until
absolutely smooth. (The texture is very important to the success of this
soup). Whisk in the sour cream or heavy cream and the seassonings. Adjust
the salt and pepper if necessary. Steam the broccoli flowerets until just
done (again, tender, but full of color) combine flowerets with soup in a
large double boiler or kettle. Heat gently and serve right away. Top with
minced scallions.
NOTES : * Remove bay leaf before pureeing* My sister has made this all the
time and puree's it all and then heats through, doesn't leave any broccoli
whole and it's wonderful.

A Message from our Provider:

“Been taken for granted? Imagine how God feels”

When you look at it closely, drunkenness is a lordship problem. Who is your master, God or your desires? Do you desire God above all else, or do you desire something in creation more than you desire the Creator? At root, drunkards are worshipping another god – alcohol. Drunkenness violates the command “You shall have no other gods before me.” Heavy drinkers love alcohol. They are controlled by it as if they were its subjects and it was their ruler-lover. This alcohol-worship, however, is actually a form of self-worship. We worship people and things to get what we want. Those who worship money do so in order to get what they want. Heavy drinkers drink neither to glorify God nor to love their neighbor. They drink to indulge their own desires, whether those desires are pleasure, freedom from pain, alleviation of fear, forgetting, vengeance, or a host of others.
