Why do any of us get upset or tense when confronted? Why do any of us activate our inner lawyer and rise to our own defense? Why do any of us turn the tables and remind the other person that we are not the only sinner in the room? Why do we argue about the facts or dispute the other person’s interpretation. We do all of these things because we are convinced in our hearts that we are more righteous that how than we are being portrayed in the moment of confrontation. Proud people don’t welcome loving warning, rebuke, confrontation, question, criticism, or accountability, because they don’t feel the need for it. And when they do fail, they are very good at erecting plausible reasons for what they said or did, given the stress of the situation or relationship in which it was done.

INSTRUCTIONS

MARMALADE
PORK
1.  To make marmalade, warm oil in large heavy pot over medium heat. Add
onions and cook, stirring, until they begin to carmelize, about 15 minutes.
Add oregano, salt and pepper to taste, and sugar and cook gently for 10
minutes.
2.  Add stock and vinegar and cook over high heat until most of the liquid
evaporates, about 4-5 minutes. Add jelly and stir until melted. Taste and
adjust with lemon juice if necessary.  Spoon into a heatproof bowl and
cover to keep warm.
3.  To cook pork, warm oil in heavy pot over medium heat. Add chops in a
single layer and saute, turning once, until golden on each side. Add orange
zest and juice and wine, cover tightly, and cook gently until fork tender,
about 12-15 minutes. Transfer pork chops to platter and keep warm.
4.  Add cabbage to same pan and cook over high heat, stirring for 3
minutes. Partially cover and cook until cabbage is just tender, about 4-5
minutes. Season with cumin seeds and salt and pepper to taste.
5.  To serve, divide marmalade among four warmed dinner plates. Place
cabbage on top and lean chops against vegetables. Spoon pan juices over top
and serve at once.

A Message from our Provider:

“God is humble”

God’s delegated authority, the necessity of submission, the role of government in acting to protect and preserve the health of the people, the call for respect and honor—I find myself joyful, grateful. I am joyful to obey the mandates of my government as it tries to lead through a grueling, opaque situation. I’m grateful for God’s good gift of government, and grateful even for my government. Behind it, I see Him. In its authority, I see His. Of course, this government will lead imperfectly. They will make poor decisions. They will make mistakes. They will even act sinfully at times. They are, after all, human beings and subject to every kind of frailty, sin, and limitation. But God was not unaware of what was in the heart of men when he commanded through Peter “be subject for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme or to governors as sent by him” (1 Peter 2:13-14).
