Bible Verse of the Day

Exodus 23:23-25 (New King James Version)

23 For My Angel will go before you and bring you in to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will cut them off. 24 You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their works; but you shall utterly overthrow them and completely break down their sacred pillars.

25 “So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.

We're supposed to serve the LORD our God - not the god of poliical correctness ... so what has happened to get us so far off of the path?

Recipe of the Day

We're having some friends over for dinner again tonight, and once again, I want to make something really special. Scallops on Polenta with Mushrooms, from Kyle Phillips, our Guide to Italian Cuisine, will be perfect. The prep time may take a little longer since the Polenta has to chill, but there is plenty of stuff that I can do while it's chilling. Get the recipe.
