The revolt against hedonism has killed the spirit of worship in many churches. When you have the notion that high moral acts must be free from self-interest, then worship, which is one of the highest moral acts a human can perform, has to be conceived simply as duty. And when worship is reduced to a duty it ceases to exist. One of the great enemies of worship in our church is our own misguided virtue. We have the vague notion that seeking our own pleasure is sin and therefore virtue itself imprisons the longings of our hearts and smothers the spirit of worship. For what is worship if it is not our joyful feasting upon the banquet of God's glory?

Procedure:
Split squash lengthwise with a heavy knife (careful!!), scrape out and
discard seeds. Easiest cooking method is in the microwave, but bake it if
you wish. For the microwave, place 'inside up' in rectangular glass dish,
add 1/4 cup of water in the dish.
Cover with plastic wrap and cook on high for about 10 minutes, or until
just 'al dente'. While it's cooking, let's make the 'sauce.'
Saute garlic and shallots in olive oil with bell pepper till just tender -
don't brown. If you're using fresh red peppers, add these now.
Coarsely chop red peppers (if using canned ones) and tomatoes, add to pan
with cumin, lemon pepper and oregano.
Add basil and balsamic vinegar at the last minute, and cook only till the
basil just wilts.
Assembly:
To assemble, scrape the squash halves 'across' (as in horizontally) to free
the 'spaghetti' - try and keep it fluffy, place in serving dish. We use a
large shallow pasta bowl. Pour the sauce over the squash and fold in -
serve immediately. Keeps well, rewarm in microwave.
Note: too much bell pepper will overpower the dish
