INSTRUCTIONS

Cut eggplant into 1"x 3" julienne pcs. Soak in ice water for 15 min.
Drain eggplant and dry with paper towels. Heat wok, add oil. Add
eggplant, stir to coat with oil, cover and cook 2 min. Uncover and
continue cooking for 2 min. Add chopped peppers, garlic, green onion,
and cook until eggplant is tender (20 to 30 min.) Pieces must be
completely limp before sauce is added. Stir sauce ingredients  together
and add to eggplant. Stir until thick. Remove to serving  dish. Serve
just warm or at room temp. for optimum taste.  [I have made this a few
times with varying success. If I get good,  very hot jalapenos, the
dish is wonderful and VERY hot-spicy. It can  be made with 1 jalapeno
and less white pepper for those who don't  want it so hot. I did not
find a mildly spicy dish though to be  satisfying.]  Judy Chen NOTES :

The invisibility of God is a great problem. It was already a problem to God’s people in Old Testament days. Their pagan neighbors would taunt them, saying, “Where Is now your God?” Their gods were visible and tangible, but Israel’s God was neither. Today in our scientific culture young people are taught not to believe in anything which is not open to empirical investigation. How then has God solved the problem of His own invisibility? The first answer is of course “in Christ.” Jesus Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. John 1:18: “No one has ever seen God, but God the only Son has made him known.” “That’s wonderful,” people say, “but it was 2,000 years ago. Is there no way by which the invisible God makes Himself visible today?” There is. We return to 1 John 4:12: “No one has ever seen God.” It is precisely the same introductory statement. But instead of continuing with reference to the Son of God, it continues: “If we love one another, God dwells in us.” In other words, the invisible God, who once made Himself visible in Christ, now makes Himself visible in Christians, if we love one another. It is a breathtaking claim. The local church cannot evangelize, proclaiming the gospel of love, if it is not itself a community of love.

Procrastination, the thief of time, is one of the devil’s most potent weapons for defrauding us of eternal heritage. The habit of “putting off” is fatal to spiritual leadership. Its power resides in our natural reluctance to come to grips with important decisions. Making decisions, and acting on them, always requires moral energy. But the passing of time never makes action easier; quite the opposite. Most decisions are more difficult a day later, and you may also lose an advantage by such delay. The nettle will never be easier to grasp than now.
