The Bible never discusses this psychological fact of human unhappiness in marriage when it discusses the inviolability of marriage and when it forbids divorce. Christians in our day need to face this fact, for fact it is. To put it as bluntly as the Bible does, the Lord is as much as saying, I know you are unhappy but your unhappiness does not change your obligation to your marriage. I know you think your life would be much better if you were out of this marriage or could have another woman for your wife, but that does not in any way diminish your obligation to remain faithful to your wife... Listen, "The Lord knows our frame. He remembers that we are dust." He is full of a perfect sympathy for the trials and tribulations of human life. There can be no thought of His not caring for the pain caused to his children who find themselves in a loveless marriage. He wants us to be happy. But, he wants us to be holy even more! And, the fact is, there are a great many things that are very hard to do in the Christian life but which Christians must do, come wind, come weather. No one can read the Bible and conclude that the Lord would never ask his children to suffer for his sake, to make sacrifices for His sake, even punishingly difficult sacrifices.

CRUST
FILLING
*Could use Cinnamon Crisp Cookies instead.
Blend the sour cream and cream cheese well and add the egg yolks (which
have been beaten first) and the other ingredients. Whip egg whites until
stiff and fold cheese and yolk mixture in CAREFULLY. Make sure it is all
incorperated. Pour into a springform pan and bake at 350 degrees for one
hour. Then leave door closed for one hour; and then oven door ajar for
last5 hour (3 in all). Cake is creamy and smooth and may crack a bit on
top. Good reason to make a strawberry topping.
This cake was given to Jeannie Toll by one of Mort's old girlfriends about
37 years ago. She gave it to me when Mort and I told her about our
engaement...hence the title. Betty Mondress gave me her 'recipe' card as
mine dissappeared years ago. I used my copy of the LEVITTOWN SISTERHOOD
COOKBOOK; (Pa..circa 1957) until it disintegrated. Of course i submitted it
as my own...<G>. Ellen; did you know that? Mom was 'bad'in her younger
days!!!
