Where there is no “moral gravity” – that is, no force that draws us to the center – there is spiritual weightlessness. We float on feelings that will carry us where we never meant to go; we bubble with emotional experiences that we often take for spiritual ones; and we are puffed up with pride. Instead of seriousness, there is foolishness. Instead of gravity, flippancy. Sentimentality takes the place of theology. Our reference point will never serve to keep our feet on solid rock, for our reference point, until we answer God’s call, is merely ourselves. We cannot possibly tell which end is up. Paul calls them fools who “…measure themselves by themselves, to find in themselves their own standard of comparison!”

INSTRUCTIONS

Recipe by: Sue Klapper In four separate bowls, dissolve each package of
gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Add 1/2 cup cold water to each and stir.
Pour one bowl of blue gelatin into an oiled 10 inch fluted tube pan; chill
until almost set, about 30 minutes. Set other 3 bowls of gelatin aside at
room temperature. Soften unflavored gelatin in remaining cold water; let
stand 5 minutes. Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat just below
boiling. Stir in softened gelatin and sugar until sguar is dissolved.
Remove from heat; stir in sour cream and vanilla until smooth. When blue
gelatin in pan is almost set, carefully spoon 1 - 1/2 cups sour cream
mixture over it. Chill until almost set, about 30 minutes. Carefully spoon
one bowl of strawberry gelatin over cream layer. Chill until almost set.
Repeat, adding layers of blue gelatin, cream mixture and strawberry
gelatin, chilling in between each. Chill several hours of overnight. Note:
This salad takes time of prepare since each layer must be almost set before
the next layer is added.
