The French writer, Charles Peguy ,1873-1914 [there should be an accent over the 'e' but I can't get my cp to do that] said "It will never be known what acts of cowardice have been motivated by the fear of not looking sufficiently progressive".

This statement lets us know that Peguy was referring to forward progress, or perhaps-in vogue. But it also appears Peguy understood that progress could go backwards, up, or down, as well as forward. As people we are always moving or we are dead, much like a ship at sea. Which ever direction we move is a progress. Not always for the positive. He also seemed to understand that a lot of political -or parental- actions are motivated by fear, not common sense. Not driven by what is best for all the people, but fear of not appearing to be positively progressive, with the times.

How sad that leaders are so fearful that they follow instead of leading.

Ultimate Breakfast Quesadilla - Review

Hi, I am Donna and this is my first post reviewing recipes. I am always looking for cheap, fast, nutritious meals. Some points I hope to evaluate are:
1-is this really a meal recipe or just the entre
2-what does it cost to buy ingredients
3-how fast is it
4-does it have nutritious ingredients that most people eat and that is available in general.

Although this is a Breakfast meal, I am using it for a fast supper. I am cooking for 2. Recipe calls for 24 10 inch tortillas which I did buy, but did not use. I had 4 leftover 6-in tortillas and there are only 2 in my home, so I used the 6 inch and cut down eggs to 2 per person. One shallot instead of onion, a jar of pimento pepper in freezer that I wanted to use up, 1/4 bag of bacon bits in freezer I wanted to use, and green salsa I had leftover. I do not have a George Foreman quesadilla maker so I used a small cast iron pan.

Following the recipe, I toasted bacon bits in small amount olive oil and removed from pan.
2-chop shallot, pimento, and 4 oz can mushrooms fine. then saute in same bacon pan till tender. remove from pan.
3-whisk two eggs at a time [I did not add salt and pepper but should have], and cook in same pan until well set. Remove from pan.
Butter one side of each tortilla. Put one into same pan, butter side down, add some cheese, egg, bacon, pepper, onion, mushroom, more cheese, second tortilla, butter side up.
Cook like any quesadilla.

Ingredients:

• Flour Tortillas, 24 count, 10-inch [I bought 8 10-inch at Aldi but did not use]$1.29
• White Onion, medium, chopped [bought package shallots at Walmart]1.48
• Bell Pepper, medium-sized, chopped [used frozen pimentos]
• Mushrooms, sliced (canned or fresh) [4 oz can Aldi]$.55
• Cheddar and / or Monterrey Jack Cheese, 1/2 pound, shredded [I bought block cheddar at Aldi and sliced with potato peeler]$1.69
• Eggs, 6 [I used 2-one each Aldi]$1.35
• Bacon, 1 pound [used 1/4th large package bacon bits in freezer]
• Picante Sauce [ used leftover green salsa from Walmart]$1.53

My husband really liked this. I thought the bacon and cheese together made it really salty. 

-It really is a full meal. 

-Is it cheap? Using what I had cost me 9.24 / 4 = $2.31 a serving. I will have to wait till I make again so I can get a better feel of the total cost.
-Nutritious? plenty  of vegetables-onion, pepper, mushrooms, protein-cheese, egg, bacon and small amount of carbs-tortillas. My verdict is yes
-fast? It took me less than 30 min to chop and cook so, yes, it is fast

Capitalism: Freedom to Give

https://tifwe.org/resource/does-acts-2-5-teach-socialism/ 


To be preached at that giving is an absolute [or hell] is a coercion.
To see/acknowledge a need and voluntarily give [in what ever manner God/you choose] is freedom
To have the "church" decide where the gifts go is socialism

To feel the burden of a mortgage on a building [for gathering] is stifling

Many are called, but few are chosen

What does it mean that 'many are called, but few are chosen'?  As always, we need to read the Bible from the cultural perspective that it was written in. If we try to apply our modern definition of words and concepts to the Bible, we will loose the spirit of what is actually being said. Look here for more information.
