We Love God!

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

We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.
C.S. Lewis

INSTRUCTIONS

The stalks, green as they were, as soon as pulled up, were carried to
a convenient  trough, then chopped and pounded so much, that, by
boiling, all the juice could be extracted out of them; which juice
every  planter almost knows is of saccharine a quality almost as any
thing can be,  and that  any thing of a luxuriant corn stalk is very
full of it, ...  After this  pounding, the stalks and all were put
into a large  copper,  there lowered  down  it its sweetness with
water, to an equality  with  common observations  in malt wort, and
then boiled, till the liquor in a  glass is seen to break, as the
breweres term it; after that it  is  strained, and boiled again with
hops. The beer I drank had been made above  twenty days, and bottled
off about four days. Published in the Virginia Gazette on Feb. 14,
