Meal Planning with Connie

Philly Cheese Steak Pizza This past Sunday, we looked at the lives of Jonah and Joseph, as Brother Ken continued the sermon series on waiting for God. Both of these men spent some time in unique “waiting rooms.” The Bible tells us that “…the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.” (Jonah 1:17) Joseph’s story is told in Genesis, chapters 37-50. There we learn that Joseph spent over two years in an Egyptian prison, falsely accused. One interesting thing to me is that both of these fellows found themselves in trouble due to their pride. Jonah was prejudice and self-absorbed, constantly complaining and not wanting to bring the Lord’s message of repentance to the Ninevehites. Unfortunately, Joseph, too, suffered from a pretty good case of self-admiration, sporting around in that colorful coat of his, while sharing his dreams of having lordship over his brothers, and even his father!

Mix the remaining 3/4 c sugar and cornstarch. Sprinkle over the batter. Pour boiling water (yes, really) over the entire cake. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean. Let it cool slightly, but it's awfully good when it's still mildly wa
