Easy-bake Scalloped Potatoes

Bitterness starts out small. An offense burrows its way into our hearts. We replay it in our minds, creating deep ruts that will be hard to build back up. We retell our hurts to any available listener, including each sordid detail. We enlist support, pushing us further into our resentment. We hear the offending person's name and cringe. We decipher the offense as intentional and our offender as full of spite. We look for other reasons, both real or imagined, to dislike our villain. With each new piece of information, we form another layer of bitterness. We fool ourselves into thinking no one will know, but anger and resentment have a way of seeping into everything. Resentment is like a beach ball we try to submerge in the water. No matter how valiant our efforts, it pops up with all its vitality, splashing everyone around.

INGREDIENTS

10		Potatoes, peeled and thinly
		sliced about 4 lbs
2	lb	Mexican-flavored processed
		cheese spread cut into 1
		inch cubes

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Place one third of teh cheese cubes in
the bottom of 9x13" baking dish that has been coated with nonstick
vegetable spray.  Cover with half of the potatoes, then layer another
third of the cheese cubes over the potatoes.  Top with the remaining
potatoes and cheese.  Cover tightly with foil and bake for 60  minutes,
or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted.  Remove the
foil and return the dish to the oven for 6 to 8 minutes,  or until the
top is golden. Note: If Mexican-flavored cheese is not  available, use
plain processed cheese spread and add 1/2 cup salsa.  It would be best
to melt the cheese first so you can mix the salsa in  and the toss with
the potatoes and bake as directed. From Mr. Food  Easy Tex-Mex cookbook

Every Christian is carnal in some area of his life at many times in his life… All the marks of Christianity are not equally apparent in all Christians. Nor are any of these marks manifest to the same degree in every period of any Christian’s life. Love, faith, obedience, and devotion will vary in the same Christian in different periods of his Christian experience; in other words, there are many degrees of sanctification. The Christian’s progress in growth is not constant and undisturbed. There are many hills and valleys in the process of sanctification; and there are many stumblings, falls and crooked steps in the process of growth in grace…[Yet] the Bible [does not] divide men into three categories.
