Name: English Toffee Popcorn Bars
Ingredients: 2 1/2 qt Popped popcorn*; 1 c Peanuts; 1 c Flaked coconut; toasted; 1 1/2 c Butter or margarine; 1 1/2 c Sugar; 3 tb Water; 4 1/2 ts Light corn syrup; 1 1/2 c (9 ounces) chocolate pieces; 1 tb Shortening

Let us settle in our minds this great truth, that Jesus Christ was verily and indeed Man. He was equal to the Father in all things, and the eternal God. But He was also Man, and took part of flesh and blood, and was made like unto us in all things, sin only excepted. He had a body like our own. Like us, He was born of a woman. Like us, He grew and increased in stature. Like us, He was often hungry and thirsty, and faint and weary. Like us, He ate and drank, rested and slept. Like us, He sorrowed, and wept, and felt. It is all very wonderful, but so it is. He that made the heavens went to and fro as a poor, weary Man on earth! He that ruled over principalities and powers in heavenly places, took on Him a frail body like our own. He that might have dwelt forever in the glory which He had with the Father, amidst the praises of legions of angels, came down to earth and dwelt as a Man among sinful men. Surely this fact alone is an amazing miracle of condescension, grace, pity, and love.

I just found a great site for popcorn recipes if anyone else is interested:
http://www.popcorn.org/rcindex.htm
Combine popcorn, peanuts and toasted coconut. Cover bottom of a buttered 15
1/2 by 10 1/2 by 1-inch jelly-roll pan with half popcorn mixture. Keep
filled pan and remaining popcorn mixture warm in a preheated 200 degree
Fahrenheit oven.
Toffee: Melt butter over low heat in a heavy 2-quart saucepan. Add sugar
and blend well. Continue to cook over low heat stirring constantly until
mixture reaches a full boil. Add water and corn syrup; mix well.
Wash down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to remove any
sugar granules. Cook and stir over low heat, until mixture reaches
soft-crack stage on a candy thermometer (280 degrees).
Immediately pour mixture over warm popcorn in jelly-roll pan, making
certain all popcorn is covered. Quickly spread and press remaining popcorn
mixture into hot toffee. Set aside to cool.
Chocolate topping: Melt chocolate and shortening over low heat. Spread over
popcorn mixture, making certain any loose pieces are held in place. Cool.
Cut into bars. May be wrapped in plastic wrap for storage.
Yield: 20 (4 by 2 inch) bars.

A Message from our Provider:

“St Valentine found true love – Jesus”

Though I’m not condoning any form of violence in this illustration, permit me to make a point. Let’s pretend you punch a pillow in your home. What are the consequences? Let’s say you now punch the family pet. Stronger consequences? What happens if you punch a family member? Would the offense be greater if you punched a police officer? What would happen if you punched the President of the United States? Our sin is always directly proportionate to the person we sin against. When we sin against an infinite and eternal God, there are always infinite and eternal consequences.
