bowl.
Melt butter in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add onions and cook
until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Reduce heat to
medium. Add mushrooms; stir until mushrooms begin to soften and release
juices, about 5 minutes. Add celery and stir 2 minutes. Mix contents of
skillet into bread cubes. Mix in chestnuts, thyme, rosemary and nutmeg.
Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared one day ahead. Cover

A Message from our Provider:

“The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes and sand gnats come close.”

Wisdom and power are the ground of the respect we give to men; they being both infinite in God, are the foundation of a solemn honor to be returned to Him by His creatures. If a man make a curious engine, we honor him for his skill; if another vanquish a vigorous enemy, we admire him for his strength; and shall not the efficacy of God's power in creation, government, redemption, inflame us with a sense of the honor of His name and perfections! We admire those princes that have vast empires, numerous armies, that have a power to conquer their enemies, and preserve their own people in peace; how much more ground have we to pay a mighty reverence to God, who, without trouble and weariness, made and manages this vast empire of the world by a word and beck! What sensible thoughts have we of the noise of thunder, the power of the sun, the storms of the sea! These things, that have no understanding, have struck men with such a reverence that many have adored them as gods. What reverence and adoration does this mighty power, joined with an infinite wisdom in God, demand at our hands.
