Connecting Across: When You Don’t Have That Loving Feeling - Ken Wetmore

The truth is there are people who haven’t done anything wrong to us that we just don’t enjoy being around. So what do you do when you don’t “feel” love for someone. This sermon explores what God wants us to do when we don’t feel love or a connection with another person.

In The Wrong Place at the Wrong Time - Andreas Beccai

There are times in our lives when we wonder if we're in the wrong place. Simon the Cyrene must have thought that, but in Christ, we have hope that our accidental and sometimes painful involvements in circumstances beyond our control can be a prize and not a punishment.

CONNECT THE EPISODES!

This week, our listener Brittany went back in the catalog and listened to Episode 355 called Holy Encounters: Reasonable Doubt from last year and immediately saw a parallel to a question in last week’s Episode 398 that asked, “Does connecting with God ever look like taking a puzzle apart instead of putting it together.” What a great catch and correlation, Brittany! If you’ve missed either of those episodes or the message it was based on, we would encourage you to go back and listen at the links below. Thank you Brittany!

RECIPES:

Melanie’s Meatless Meatballs:

Ingredients:

4 eggs

1 tbsp sage

1 large onion, chopped

1 cup finely chopped walnuts (a few spins in the blender usually does it!)

1 cup of crushed Saltine crackers (or, if you’re gluten-free, use Glutino Table Crackers instead)

5 cups of cheese

Approximately 2 small jars of Prego Traditional Marinara (or your favorite marinara sauce)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put the ingredients in a mixing bowl in the order listed above. Mix well. Form firmly into two-inch balls, and place in casserole dish. (If the balls are too wet to form, add more crackers; if they are too dry to hold shape, add a few drops of water.) Generously cover balls with marinara and make sure there’s at least an inch or two of sauce in the bottom of the dish, as well. Bake for 1 hour. Eat the entire thing yourself with no shame and make another batch for your family. ;)  

Icebox Cookies (Randy’s Grandma Virginia’s Recipe)

Ingredients:

2 cups butter

2 cups brown sugar

3 eggs

1/2 pound walnuts cut fine

1 tsp baking soda

5 cups flour

1tsp vanilla

1tsp salt

Directions: 

Set in the evening and shape into little rectangular loves

Let stand overnight in the refrigerator

Cut into thin slices and bake at 350 degrees.

Randy’s Directions:

Store cookies in an airtight container in the freezer

Eat while cold/frozen and with your favorite ice cream in a spoon of ice cream to cookie ratio in the same bite, letting flavors mix in your mouth.

Suggested ice cream flavors: Butter Pecan, Caramel Praline, Vanilla (I haven’t had any combo that hasn’t been fantastic, so enjoy your favorite flavor)
