Italian Sausage And Tomato Sauce

[Children] cannot bring themselves up properly. This cannot happen because God says “foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child” (Prov. 22:15), and that “a child left to himself, a child who gets his own way bring shame to his mother” (Prov. 29:15). Scripture thus asserts that if you allow a child to bring himself up, if you raise him in an atmosphere of complete freedom, if you allow him to make all his own choices, to do his own thing, to express himself freely, the result will be shameful. God never intended children to bring themselves up. He gave them parents who are to be actively engaged in making the children what God wants them to be.

In a wide-bottomed pan or skillet with high sides over medium heat,

onions and garlic; saute in sausage fat about 2 minutes. Pour off all
but a thin film of fat. Add tomatoes and Marsala to pan. If using
dried basil, add it now. Cook over medium heat until sauce reduces  and
thickens, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in fresh basil or parsley.
Season to taste with salt and pepper, if necessary. Use immediately  or
cool to room temperature and refrigerate or freeze (see Timesaver
Tip). To serve: Cook 8 ounces ziti or rigatoni, following package
directions. Drain. Serve sauce over pasta. Top each serving with a
spoonful of ricotta cheese.  Makes 4 cups.  Timesaver Tip: Sauce can be
made up to 2 days ahead, covered and  refrigerated, or it can be
frozen. To freeze, spoon into a freezer  container, cover, label, and
freeze at 0 degrees F up to 1 month. To  serve, defrost sauce 15 to 20
minutes in microwave oven on Defrost  setting, or thaw in refrigerator
8 to 24 hours. Gently warm sauce in  saucepan or in a microwave oven on
50% power until heated through, 3  to 5 minutes. Stir sauce several
times during microwave defrosting.  Recipe By     : the California

You begin by quieting your heart with a simple reading of the text. Then you meditate, perhaps on a single word or phrase from the text, and in so doing intentionally avoid what might be considered an “analytical” approach. In essence, the goal here is to wait for the Spirit’s illumination so that you will arrive at meaning. You wait for Jesus to come calling. Once the word is given, you go on to pray. After all, prayer is dialogue with God. God speaks through his Word and the person speaks through prayer. Eventually, this prayer becomes contemplative prayer, and it gives to us the ability to comprehend deeper theological truths. It sounds wonderfully pious… [However] it substitutes intuition for investigation. It prefers mood and emotion to methodical and reasoned inquiry. It equates your spirit to the Holy Spirit.
