INSTRUCTIONS

This is called "There's nothing in the house for dinner" around our place.
Leave out the olive oil if you want to cut the calories to practically
nothing. This makes enough to sauce 250 grams (8 oz.) of pasta; we prefer
spaghettini for it.
Add garlic and seasonings to clam juice, bring to a simmer, and let cook
while the pasta cooks. Drain pasta and return to pot in which it was
cooked. Remove juices from heat, add clams, and pour over cooked pasta.
Toss well and let stand a few minutes so juices can permeate the pasta well
before you serve it. I understand that it is not chic to use grated
parmesan or romano cheese with a seafood sauce, but we love romano on this.
These canned clams must not be cooked--they turn into rocks if you do.

A Message from our Provider:

“The Will of God will never take you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.”

During the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s, Martin Luther articulated a timeless distinction between two approaches to knowing God. He labeled one a “theology of glory,” and applied it to those who believe they can attain to a glorious knowledge of God by human goodness, religious effort, mystical experiences, or the wisdom of human reason. According to this view, God manifests Himself most often through blessings, victory, success, miracles, power, and other exhilarating experiences of “glory.” By contrast, Luther argued that the biblical way to know God goes through a “theology of the cross.” God has “hidden” Himself where human wisdom would not expect to find Him, that is, in the lowliness and suffering of the man Jesus Christ, and especially in His humiliating death on a Roman cross. As Luther put it, “true theology and recognition of God are in the crucified Christ.” So rather than finding God by ascending to Him through our efforts, wisdom, or self-initiated experiences, God has descended to us in Jesus whose glory was in the least-expected of places – the cross – and in a way where He can be found by faith alone.
