Name: Irish Potato Candy (March)
Ingredients: 1/4 c Butter; softened; 4 oz Cream cheese softened; * see note; 1 ts Vanilla; 1 pk Confectioners' sugar; (16 ounces); 1 pk Flaked coconut (7 ounces); (about 2 1/2 cups); 1 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon

God does not countenance the marriage of a believer to an unbeliever. In 1 Corinthians 7:39, Paul says that Christians must marry only “in the Lord.” That phrase means within the common faith that Christians hold toward Jesus Christ, that faith which identifies them as a part of the body of Christ. Thus they can be said to be “in Christ,” or “in the Lord” together. Nothing in Scripture in any way relaxes the clear-cut commandment that believers must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Christians may marry only in the Lord; that is, only within the faith.

INGREDIENTS

1/4	c	Butter; softened
4	oz	Cream cheese softened; * see note
1	ts	Vanilla
1	pk	Confectioners' sugar; (16 ounces)
1	pk	Flaked coconut (7 ounces); (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 1/2	ts	Ground cinnamon

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, cream together
the butter and cream cheese. Beat in the vanilla and confectioners' sugar.
With a spoon, stir in the coconut. Roll the mixture between your hands to
form small potato-shaped candies or roll into small balls. Place the
cinnamon in a shallow dish. Roll the balls in the cinnamon, then place on a
cookie sheet, cover, and chill for about 1 hour, until firm.
Note: Make sure to use regular cream cheese, not a whipped or reduced-fat
type. And if you prefer "dirtier" potatoes, roll the candies a second time
in additional cinnamon after they've chilled.

A Message from our Provider:

“God cares”

In our thinking, we actually begin to believe that our ways are better than God’s. We take this created gift called sex and use it to question the Creator God, who gave us the gift in the first place. We replace God’s pattern with our preferences, exchanging what God’s Word says about sexuality for what our observation and experience say about it. Yet we’re blind to our own foolishness. It’s as if we’re living out Proverbs 14:12 – “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.” The real danger here is our claim to know better than God what is best for our bodies and to justify sexual sin as a result.
