Name: Ella Zeek's Sugar Cookies

Few things are sapping the strength of the church of Jesus Christ more than the unreconciled state of so many believers. So many have matters deeply imbedded in their craws, like iron wedges forced between themselves and other Christians. They can’t walk together because they do not agree. When they should be marching side by side through this world taking men captive for Jesus Christ, they are acting instead like an army that has been routed and scattered and whose troops in their confusion have begun fighting among themselves. Nothing is sapping the church of Christ of her strength so much as these unresolved problems, these loose ends among believing Christians that have never been tied up. There is no excuse for this sad condition, for the Bible does not allow for loose ends. God wants no loose ends.

Ella was a neighbor who was ten years older than God when I was a child.
She always had these in her cookie jar, and usually would bake a dozen
every day since the dough keeps so well. It is one of my all time favorites
and I have never tasted them anywhere else.
