[Man never achieves] a clear knowledge of himself unless he has first looked upon God's face, and then descends from contemplating Him to scrutinize himself. For we always seem to ourselves righteous and upright and wise and holy – this pride is innate in all of us – unless by clear proofs we stand convinced of our own unrighteousness, foulness, folly, and impurity. Moreover, we are not thus convinced if we look merely to ourselves and not also to the Lord, who is the sole standard by which this judgment must be measured.

INSTRUCTIONS

GLAZE
Grilled sweet potatoes I can do (we'll see about BBQ in a few days). I've
never been nearly as successful with raw sweet potatoes on the grill as
with pre-cooked ones. A favorite recipe is a molasses glazed sweet potatoes
from "Thrill of the Grill," which has a real candied sweet potato taste
without being cloyingly sweet:
Peel and slice lengthwise into 1/2" slices. Cook in boiling salted water to
cover, 8-10 minutes. You should be able to get a fork thru but feel
resistance, and slices should not break apart - obviously they need to hold
up to the grill later. Drain 'em and cool to room temp. (I'll do this in
the AM or nite before; remove from fridge 30 minutes before grilling.)
Glaze for 4# taters is: Mash mixture with back of a spoon till butter is
incorporated
Grill the slices 2-3 minutes per side over a moderately hot fire, then
brush with glaze and cook 30 seconds per side to finish the glaze
I like a *very light* grate nutmeg to finish too, but I'm then a nutmeg
junkie.
