Name: Garbure -- a French Country Soup
Ingredients: 3 tb Butter; 2 Carrots, sliced; 3 Leeks, cut in 1" pieces (or 6 - 8 scallions, I prefer leeks); 2 c Chopped cabbage; 2 Stalks celery, sliced; 1 ts Salt; 1 1/2 ts Sugar; 4 c Water; 3 c Vegetable broth (I use a vegetable bouillon powder); 1 c COOKED dried navy beans, drained; 2 md Potatoes, sliced; 1/2 c Frozen peas; Shredded Swiss cheese

What moves God is not our supposed goodness or trophies of righteousness, but rather our desperation and cry to Him for grace. If we could earn it, grace would no longer be grace. Grace by its very definition is giving us what we do not deserve. If we were entitled to God’s favor, it would be a wage that we are due. But since we have merited nothing from God and God being God owes us nothing, we see His favor both in salvation and the blessings that follow all as a token of His undeserved grace to the praise of His glory.

A Message from our Provider:

“Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not. #C.S. Lewis”

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.
