Beloved:
Another Holy Season is in the books. Jesus ascends to heaven, and we settle down to be the day-in, day-out church. A whole week after and I still have more adrenaline than interest in the work to be caught up. I wonder if the ancients had a practice for this strange transition, from urgent to eternity, such contrary states of mind. As we resume our more ordinary calendar of worship, prayer, and service, I am grateful for another year together. I’ll soon start preaching through Romans, if you want to read ahead. In the next few weeks we will have a wedding shower and a baby shower, and get Vacation Bible School ready to go. Another school year will wind up, and town will quiet down. Only God knows what the future holds for us, but I trust our life together will take the shape of kindness, justice and humility. ~ peace & prayers, pastor annette This recipe came from a Nigerian chef at Tasty who described it as fast food ~ what his mom cooked when she didn’t feel like cooking. Ben and I have made it twice in two weeks. Chicken would work as well as beef. Fried plantains are so good! Nigerian Beef Stew Ingredients for 6 servings
For Fried Plantains - get two of the ripest plantains and slice into ¼-in. slices. Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in heavy pan and fry slices a few at a time, turning them a couple of times. They fry fast. Drain on cooling rack and sprinkle with sea salt.
