Yet with all their faults and character flaws – as remarkably ordinary as they were – these men carried on a ministry after Jesus’ ascension that left an indelible impact on the world. Their ministry continues to influence us even today. God graciously empowered and used these men to inaugurate the spread of the gospel message and to turn the world upside down (Acts 17:6). Ordinary men – people like you and me – became the instruments by which Christ’s message was carried to the ends of the earth. No wonder they are such fascinating characters.

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a large bowl, combine the butter, sugars,
baking powder, egg, maple extract and vanilla extract; beat with an
electric mixer until fluffy, scraping the sides of the bowl several times.
With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the flour, beating just until
blended.  Stir in the pecans.  Shape level measuring tablespoonfuls of
dough into 1 1/4-inch balls.  Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie
sheets.  Press a pecan half into the top of each ball. Bake for 12 to 15
minutes, or until the cookies look dry and the bottoms are lightly browned.
Cool on the cookie sheets on wire racks for 1 to 2 minutes, then remove to
racks to cool completely.  Store in an airtight container for up to 2
weeks.  Just before serving, dust with powdered sugar. Penny Halsey
