If trifles are vital parts of divine providence, what of evil? Evil is often vastly significant. The most important event which ever occurred was, in one aspect, horribly evil. The crucifixion of Jesus from the standpoint of the crucifiers was grotesquely wicked. Yet, even though the killing of Christ was atrocity itself, what event was so vital and its effects so beneficial as the death of Christ? If God's providence does not include evil, it does not include the most important event which has ever taken place.

NOTES : This was absolutely delicious. I made some changes in the recipe. I
cut the margarine from 1 1/2 stick to only 6 Tbsps., instead of 4 stalks of
celery I used 2-3 and only 2 onions instead of 3; and I used only 1 1/4
pound shrimp. It was perfect. Nice company dish. Much of the work can be
done well ahead of time and finishing up takes only about 5 minutes.
