God has left the indelible mark of His fingerprints all across the vast face of the universe... This revelation is sufficiently clear and inescapable that it renders all without excuse (see Rom. 1:20). Consequently, there is no such thing as “an innocent native in Africa” any more than there is “an innocent pagan in America”... The problem is not a lack of evidence. The problem is the innate, natural, moral antipathy of mankind to God. The problem is not that the evidence is not open to mankind. The problem is that mankind is not open to the evidence.

INSTRUCTIONS

Originally this dish, like so many dishes that have become classics, was
designed to use up leftovers. The dish stands in the great tradition of
frugal cooks who could not afford to throw anything away, or in the more
profound tradition, that good community of cooks who refused to throw out
any edible leftovers. This bit of Cajun ingenuity is now common all over
New Orleans, and there are as many variations on this dish as any one I
know. I think I love them all!
Place the spareribs on a broiling rack and bake them in a 400&deg; oven until
brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
In the meantime heat a large frying pan and add the oil. Saut. the yellow
onion, green peppers, garlic, celery, and green onion until all is tender.
Place the vegetables and the ribs in a 12-quart stockpot, along with the
tomatoes and chicken stock. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
Pan-fry the sliced sausage until it just begins to brown. Deglaze the pan
with a bit of the broth and add the pan drippings to the stockpot. Set the
sausage aside.
Add the remaining ingredients, except the sausage and rice, and simmer,
covered, for another 20 minutes. Add the sausage and rice and simmer for 25
minutes. Correct the seasoning with salt and fresh ground black pepper.

A Message from our Provider:

“A cheerful spirit is one of the most valuable gifts ever bestowed upon humanity by a kind Creator. It is the sweetest and most fragrant flower of the Spirit, that constantly sends out its beauty and fragrance, and blesses everything within its reach. It will sustain the soul in the darkest and most dreary places of this world. It will hold in check the demons of despair, and stifle the power of discouragement and hopelessness. It is the brightest star that ever cast its radiance over the darkened soul, and one that seldom sets in the gloom of morbid fancies and forboding imaginations.”
