To be so much in contact with God that you never need to ask Him to show you His will, is to be nearing the final stage of your discipline in the life of faith. When you are rightly related to God, it is a life of freedom and liberty and delight, you are God’s will, and all your commonsense decisions are His will for you unless He checks. You decide things in perfect delightful friendship with God, knowing that if your decisions are wrong He will always check; when He checks, stop at once.

INGREDIENTS

6	oz	Pork tenderloin, cut into 2 ounce med
2	tb	Nonfat yogurt
1	tb	Dijon mustard
1	ts	Fresh thyme, chopped
1/2	ts	Black peppercorns, cracked
4	tb	Chopped pecans, chopped medium fine
1		Recipe saffron rice
6		Stalks asparagus

INSTRUCTIONS

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Preheat grill pan or oven-proof skillet to
medium high heat.
2) Add yogurt cheese, mustard, thyme and black pepper to a small bowl. Mix
to combine well.
3) Set out three sheets of wax paper. Spoon the yogurt mixture onto the
first and the pecans on the second. Roll each tenderloin medallion in the
yogurt, leaving the cut ends clean. Then roll each medallion in the chopped
pecans, again leaving the cut ends clean. Set each medallion, end up, on
the third sheet of wax paper and set aside.
4) When the water for the rice begins to boil, place the medallions on the
grill or skillet, ends down. If using a grill pan, cook for 2 1/2 minutes
and then give each medallion a 90-degree turn to cook for 2 1/2 minutes
more. Turn the medallions and cook the other end for 5 minutes. If using a
skillet, cook each medallion for 4 minutes per side. Place skillet or grill
pan in the oven and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until just done. The pork
should have a slight blush in the center for maximum flavor and tenderness.
Serve with saffron rice and cooked asparagus.
