Name: Pasta with Fresh Favas And Pancetta
Ingredients: 1/3 c Minced shallots; 3 tb Olive oil; 2 Garlic cloves; minced; 6 oz Pancetta; diced; 6 oz Shelled; peeled fresh fava beans; 1/2 c Chicken stock or broth; 3 tb Minced fresh chervil or tarragon; 12 oz Cooked pasta; Freshly-grated Parmesan; as an accompaniment

Augustine rightly said, 'Fear is the response of the human heart when its one thing is threatened.' God has blessed all of our lives with many good things. We are to enjoy them and acknowledge God in gratitude, but we dare not make these good things our 'one thing', for in doing so, they become idols in our hearts. Like Augustine said, when we foolishly make these good things our one thing, fear will result when they are threatened. As a matter of fact, fear, worry, and anxiety are a good indication that we have created idols and feel in danger of losing them. Therefore, Christ's goal is to pull our heart away from these false gods and place our heart on the true God. Do you remember how Jesus praised Mary over Martha? Why? Because she chose God as her one thing. 'But the Lord answered and said to her, ';Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things [and they were good things!]; but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her ';' (Lk. 10:41-42). So when God is our one thing, we never need to fear because our one thing is never threatened nor will He ever be removed from our presence.
