Dignified individuals have put the childish ways of gossip and complaining and faultfinding behind them. They are seen in the church as people of respect, not only because of their inherent age, but also because of their Christian maturity. They are individuals of integrity and character above reproach. They avoid pursuing, being consumed with the triviality of life. They are serious, not entertained by the offbeat humor of modern sit-coms. They live their days in the light of eternity, knowing how to manage their appearance and time and money and energies that reflect the true priorities of life of God, family, church and career. Their love for God and people is so evident that others respect them and naturally come to them for counsel. A dignified person has nothing to disgrace his or her character in the sight of man or God. When people look at your personal life, family life, financial life, church life, professional life, do they see a person of dignity?

INSTRUCTIONS

ROLL
FILLING
1) Prepare Roll:  Heat oven to 375 degrees.  Line jelly-roll pan with waxed
paper.  Coat with nonstick cooking spray.
2) Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a small
bowl.
3) Beat eggs in large bowl at medium speed for 2 minutes or until slightly
thickened. Beat in sugar, a tablespoon at a time; continue beating until
very thick and lemon colored, 5 to 7 minutes.  On lowest speed, beat in
pumpkin just until blended.  With rubber spatula, fold in flour mixture in
2 batches. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
4) Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until top of cake
springs back when lightly touched in center. Generously sieve
confectioners' sugar over clean kitchen towel.  When cake is done,
immediately loosen edges; invert onto towel.  Remove waxed paper. Sprinkle
cake with additional confectioners' sugar.  From a short end, roll up cake
with towel, jelly-roll fashion.  Let cool on wire rack for 1 hour.
5) Meanwhile, prepare filling:  Beat cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in
bowl for 5 to 8 minutes until creamy.  Stir in chocolate and almonds.
6) Unroll cake. Spread with cheese mixture.  Reroll without towel.
Refrigerate at least for 4 hours or overnight, covered.

A Message from our Provider:

“Your pain touches God’s heart”

The Greek word the Bible often translates “gentle” is epiekes . It technically has a richer meaning than any English word. In the language of the day, it was used in a way similar to being kind, courteous or tolerant. Patience to endue injustice, mistreatment or disgrace. Yielding. Willingness to remain self-controlled when wronged. Humility. Someone once said it could be called “graciousness of humility.” This word shows up when describing the character of an elder who must not be “pugnacious, but gentle ( epiekes )” (1 Tim. 3:3). In Titus 3:2 we are “to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle ( epiekes ).” James tells us the wisdom that comes down from above is, “First pure, then peaceable, gentle” ( epiekes ). In Philippians 4:5 we are to “let [our] gentle ( epiekes ) spirit be known to all men.”
