Male leadership in the home is seen in radical sacrificial love that mirrors that same radical selfless love that was demonstrated in our Lord’s life-giving death for the church (Eph. 5:25). According to Jesus’ example, masculinity is not domineering, it is service-orientated. Masculinity is not driving the family from behind, but leading the family by way of example, like the Great Shepherd Himself who always goes before the flock.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 275 degrees. In a very large bowl or soup pot, combine
popcorn, cereal, noodles, crackers and nuts; set aside. To make glaze, in a
small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add jelly; whisk to combine
well. Gradually stir in jerk seasoning. Cook at a low boil for 5 minutes.
(Makes about 1 cup.). Drizzle hot glaze over snack mix, tossing
continuously. (This goes smoothly with two people working together.)
Sprinkle with poppy seeds; mix again. Spread in a thin layer on large
baking sheets; bake 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 or 15 minutes.
Remove from oven; stir again. Separate a piece or two and let cool; check
to make sure glaze is firm. If still tacky, return to oven for 5 minutes
more. Let cool completely. For giving (if you can bear to part with it),
package in zipper bags or doily-lined cookie tins. Yield: About 20 cups.
Comments: We found it best to work with half the recipe at a time. Combine
all the snack elements, and make the glaze. Divide the snack mix in half
and pour on half the glaze, add half the poppy seeds, then bake. Repeat
with remaining ingredients, reheating glaze, if necessary, to make it
pourable.
