Ham With Noodles (schinkennudeln)

When you do not understand forgiveness as both an event and a process, discouragement and guilt can set in. This is because your decision to forgive may not immediately heal the hurt, lack of trust, and anger you have towards the person you have forgiven. But if you see forgiveness both as an event and a process, the discouragement and guilt are minimized. You know you have forgiven, even though you are also aware of your temptation to make the person pay for your offense. This awareness keeps you vigilant against sin in your own heart. It leads you to God for His cleansing and strength when you struggle with your attitude towards the person.

salted water and drain; they can also be left  over from the day

over each layer.  The top layer should consist of  noodles. Dot with
little bits of butter and sprinkle with bread  crumbs.  Bake in the
oven for about 30 minutes.  Variations  This version of the recipe
comes from Swabia; feel free to increase  the proportions of the
costlier ingredients (ham, butter, sour cream)  as your fancy dictates.
In another version of this casserole, the ingredients are all mixed
together in one bowl, along with 3 eggs, the souffle pan is well
greased with butter (always recommended), and the contents of the  bowl
transferred to the pan, the proceed as described above.  Makes 4

A Message from our Provider:

“I committed my life to Christ because I believed He was true and real and I had no idea what He was going to do with a mess like me.”

The hypocrite (Greek- hupokrites) was originally an actor. Theatrical make-up in those days took the form of a mask which the actor wore. On it would be painted the character and the mood which the actor portrayed. It might be a smiling face which hid the sad heart of the actor behind it. It might be a face of virtue which hid behind it a life of vice. In acting there can be a great discrepancy between the part which is played and the reality of the life which lies behind it… The same can be true of faith. We can profess much and possess little. Indeed there is always the temptation in Christian fellowships to pretend to be something other than what we are.
