When we enjoy God, we enjoy Him in His eternity without any flux... After many ages, the joys will be as savory and satisfying as if they had been but that moment first tasted by our hungry appetites. When the glory of the Lord shall rise upon you, it shall be so far from ever setting, that after millions of years are expired, as numerous as the sands on the seashore, the sun, in the light of whose countenance you shall live, shall be as bright as at the first appearance; He will be so far from ceasing to flow, that He will flow as strong, as full, as at the first communication of Himself in glory to the creature. God is always vigorous and flourishing; a pure act of life, sparkling new and fresh rays of life and light to the creature, flourishing with a perpetual spring, and contenting the most capacious desire; forming your interest, pleasure, and satisfaction; with an infinite variety, without any change or succession; He will have variety to increase delights, and eternity to perpetuate them; this will be the fruit of the enjoyment of an infinite and eternal God.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook bacon by placing on a rack over a shallow pan and bake at 350 degrees
for about 20 minutes, or until crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside.
Combine all ingredients except bread in a bowl. Crumble bacon and add to
mixture; set aside.
Cut crusts from bread slices and toast on both sides. Spread each slice
generously with cheese mixture; then cut each slice into three long strips.
Sprinkle with paprika; place on baking sheet, cover with waxed paper and
refrigerate.  This may be done the day before. Remove from refrigerator 30
minutes before ready to bake; bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, or
until light brown and puffy.  Serve hot. Double the recipe for a cocktail
party of 20.
Note:  These strips are quite filling.  For a daintier appetizer, cut
strips in half before baking.  These are delicious nd versatile, providing
a good luncheon or brunch dish. They should be served with sliced tomatoes
and garnished with parsley clusters; in which case, serve two whole bread
slices per person, not cutting into strips. MM Wrenn

A Message from our Provider:

“No one has been misunderstood like God”

Where there is no “moral gravity” – that is, no force that draws us to the center – there is spiritual weightlessness. We float on feelings that will carry us where we never meant to go; we bubble with emotional experiences that we often take for spiritual ones; and we are puffed up with pride. Instead of seriousness, there is foolishness. Instead of gravity, flippancy. Sentimentality takes the place of theology. Our reference point will never serve to keep our feet on solid rock, for our reference point, until we answer God’s call, is merely ourselves. We cannot possibly tell which end is up. Paul calls them fools who “…measure themselves by themselves, to find in themselves their own standard of comparison!”

Elisabeth Elliot
