God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

It is said that Satan once called to him the emissaries of hell and said he wanted to send one of them to earth to aid women and men in the ruination of their souls. He asked which one would want to go. One creature came forward and said, 'I will go.' Satan said, “If I send you, what will you tell the children of men?” He said, “I will tell the children of men that there is no heaven.” Satan said, “They will not believe you, for there is a bit of heaven in every human heart. In the end everyone knows that right and good must have the victory. You may not go.” Then another came forward, darker and fouler than the first. Satan said, “If I send you, what will you tell the children of men?” He said, “I will tell them there is no hell.' Satan looked at him and said, 'Oh, no; they will not believe you, for in every human heart there's a thing called conscience, an inner voice which testifies to the truth that not only will good be triumphant, but that evil will be defeated. You may not go.” Then one last creature came forward, this one from the darkest place of all. Satan said to him, “And if I send you, what will you say to women and men to aid them in the destruction of their souls?” He said, “I will tell them there is no hurry.” Satan said, “Go!”

More Back of the Box Gourmet By Michael McLaughlin  The most successful
comfort foods take a particular happy moment,  usually of childhood,
and recreate that feeling of well-being so  successfully we can call it
up as needed, merely by enjoying the food  in question. If after a
long-ago skating, sled-riding, or  snowman-making session, a big mug of
real hot chocolate ever warmed  you and your icy fingers back to
happiness, you'll be glad to know  this grown-up version will work a
similar magic today.  In a small saucepan over low heat, slowly scald
the milk with the  orange zest and cinnamon. Remove the cinnamon
sticks, if using.  In a blender, combine the hot milk with the
chocolate and Grand  Marnier. Cover the blender and blend on slow speed
until very smooth,  about 30 seconds. (Blend slowly to avoid the
mixture running over the  blender lid.) Pour immediately into warm mugs
and top with whipped  cream, if desired.  MAKES 4 to 6 servings
Gilding the Lily: The recipe doesn't say that the chocolate should be
chopped, but things will go more smoothly if you do so. Only someone
seriously out of touch with the real spirit of hot chocolate would
consider whipped cream to be optional. Apply a generous dollop to  each
mug and then sprinkle it with shaved chocolate curls for added  flavor
and visual appeal.  Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #6 by janet
