“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me - watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matt.11:28-30)
I used to think that God would love me more if I worked harder for him. I concentrated on scriptures about the servant who wisely invested his talents, and another verse where God said, “Well done, good and faithful servant,” and another where Jesus said we are to be servants to one another. When I came across this scripture passage a few months ago, a light went on in my head! God never asked us to kill ourselves with work. In fact, He asked us to come to Him for rest! I have read this passage over and over this summer, learning God’s “unforced rhythms of grace.” I am grateful and amazed at how much joy is to be found in “living freely and lightly” in the company of Jesus Christ!

This recipe works for any size of salmon you want to cook. You will need:
Olive oil
Salmon seasoning (I use Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Magic Salmon Seasoning - available at Publix)
Lemon pepper seasoning
Olive oil margarine
In a suitably sized glass pan, drizzle olive oil. Lay the salmon in the pan. Spread a conservative amount of olive oil margarine on top of the salmon. Sprinkle salmon season and lemon pepper seasoning on top of the margarine. Bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily at the thickest part.
Cook in a crockpot for 4-6 hours on high:
1 one-pound London broil or other lean beef
1 small can of tomato sauce
In a soup pot, combine:
1″ of water
3 medium potatoes, cubed
3 carrots, sliced
2 stalks of celery, sliced
2 cups of green beans, sliced
1 onion, chopped
Bowl vegetables until tender. While the veggies are cooking, remove the beef from the crockpot and cut it into bite-size chunks. Return it to the crockpot. Pour the cooked vegetables into the crockpot, too.
Stir in:
1 pkg. of brown gravy
Turn the crockpot down to warm. Serve with Ezekiel bread.
