"by believing that God means what He says, and by acting upon it (faith always requires action), we make it our own. we can't make it our own by mere reason. . . He is our great reality, more real than the realest of earthly conditions, an unchanging reality. it's His providence that put us where we are. it's where we belong. it is for us to receive it- all of it- humbly and thankfully."

it's been too long since i passed along a recipe. here's one for the ages. it's an office favorite that my co-worker denise makes for all our holiday meals. it's been in her family for years and the work family doesn't let her contribute anything else.
denise's aunt clara's sweet potato casserole (not the season for sweet potato casserole but i recommend grabbing it for later)
8 sweet potatoes
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. sour cream (this makes it!)
1 T. vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 c. evaporated milk
1/2 stick butter
topping-
1 stick butter
2 c. brown sugar
1/4 c. flour
dash of cinnamon/ nutmeg
1 c. pecans
bake 45 minutes on 350. the family will thank you.
