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).

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1 boneless pork loin, 2.5 to 3 pound 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley 1 1/2 tablespoons coarsely cracked
black peppercorns 2 large cloves of garlic, minced 1 teaspoon sugar 1
tablespoon olive oil 6 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed and quartered hot
paprika
1. Using the tip of a sharp knife, cut slits 1 inch long and 1/4 inch deep
all over the surface of the roast.
2. In a small bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, parsley, cracked peppercorns,
garlic, and sugar. Rub mixture over the surface of the roast, making sure
it gets into the slits.
3. In a large skillet, brown seasoned pork roast in oil over medium-high
heat for 10 minutes, until well browned on all sides.
4. Place roast on a metal rack or trivet in a 5-quart or larger crockery
slow-cooker. Sprinkle cut edges of potatoes with paprika and place potatoes
around roast. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 5
hours.
5. Transfer roast to a carving board and let stand for 10 minutes before
thinly slicing. Serve with potatoes and any pan juices.

My observations: I did some substituting on this (since this was the first
time I'd prepared it, I figured my family would never know). Romano for the
Parmesan, dried parsley for fresh (decreasing the amount used), and I
couldn't figure out how to crack my peppercorns (call me an idiot) so used
coarsely ground pepper, again decreasing the amount. Also, there was no way
this could be sliced "thinly". It just fell apart. But it was *really*
tasty regardless of the changes. :-) Probaby will be great with all the
right stuff!
