Name: Italian Zucchini Salad
Ingredients: 2 lb Zucchini; 1/2 c Water; 2 ts Seasoned salt; 12 lg Ripe pitted olives; quartered; 2/3 c Olive oil; 1/2 c Wine vinegar; 1 ts Salt; 1/2 ts Paprika; 1/2 ts Pepper; 1/2 ts Sugar; 1/4 ts Basil leaves; 1 Clove garlic; 1 Avocado; Pimento or red pepper stirps

There is a lot of confusion today about the self-love referred to in this verse: “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Gal. 5:14). The most common error is to assume that this is a command to loveyourself and that self-love means self-esteem. Both of these assumptions are wrong. Paul and Moses (Lev. 19:18) and Jesus (Lk. 10:27) assume that all people love themselves; they don’t command it: “You shall love your neighbor as you (already) love yourself.” And the self-love they assume is not self-esteem but self-interest: all people want to be happy, even if they often don't know what will really make them happy.
