Name: Meatless Shepherds Pie
Ingredients: 1/2 c Uncooked AM Lentils; 2 c Water; 1 Bay leaf; 1/2 c AM Bulgur Wheat; 1 c Boiling water; 1/2 ts Garlic powder; 1/4 ts Sea salt (optional); 1/2 c Mozzarella cheese, grated; 16 oz Canned tomatoes; drained; 1 md Onion; finely chopped; 1 1/2 c AM Potato Flakes; 2 c Boiling water; 1/4 ts Sea salt (optional)

Shredded flesh against unforgiving wood, iron stakes pounded through bone and wracked nerves, joints wrenched out of socket by the sheer dead weight of the body, public humiliation before the eyes of family, friends, and the world – that was death on the cross, “the infamous stake” as the Romans called it, “the barren wood,” the maxima mala crux. Or as the Greeks spat it out, the stauros. No wonder no one talked about it. No wonder parents hid their children’s eyes from it. The stauros was a loathsome thing, and the one who died on it was loathsome too, a vile criminal whose only use was to hang there as a putrid, decaying warning to anyone else who might follow his example. That is how Jesus died.
