What is the worst the opposition can do? Kill you – though doubtless that will occur, at least for now, in this country. But even if that were case, the Scripture strips away that excuse citing that death for the Christian is the greatest event possible because only death has the ability to break the seal and usher you into inexpressible glory. Could the problem be that we simply have a too great a fascination with the things going on here and not enough desire to spend eternity with Christ? If we really “prefer” to be “home with the Lord” (2 Cor. 5:8), intimate, personal, visible communion with Christ that far exceeds our communion with Christ here (Heb. 11:10, 13), then we must be “absent from the body” (2 Cor. 5:8). In other words, we must die. Therefore death from that perspective doesn’t sound so bad. Only death can release me from “absent from the Lord” to be “home with the Lord.” So the worst the enemy can do is send me to paradise!

The first time we tried this soup was at the Hourglass Tavern at West 46
Street in New York. It was a very hot and humid August evening, the soup
was deliciously refreshing and we immediately asked for the recipe. The
restaurant only has seven tables. During lunch hours an hourglass is turned
over when the first course arrives. Within an hour you must have finished
your lunch!
1.Divide the melon, remove the seeds and transfer the pulp to a food
processor.
2.Add the cucumber and process for 2-4 minutes until the mixture is almost
smooth.
3.Add the liqueur and leave the soup in the refrigerator until it is
thoroughly chilled.
4.Serve as is, on a hot simmer day even with some ice cubes.
When it is really hot (by European standards) this soup is an interesting
alternative to gazpacho. If you skip the cucumber, the soup becomes a
wonderful dessert. If you prepare a large quantity, it can be preserved in
the deep freeze. On a very hot day it is best to thaw the deep frozen soup
only until you have an icy slurry.
