    Wholly True

    Michelle and Starla discuss how King Asa in the Old Testament was described as "wholly true all his days." He started off well in his reign, but his reign did not end well. He began as one who trusted God and His word but then began to trust in man and to leave some of the high places which should have been torn down. Michelle and Starla reflect on things that can be "high places" in our own lives, and how to identify them. Even though Asa didn't get everything perfectly right, he desired to move in the right direction, and so scripture describes him as "wholly true all his days." May the same be said of us, that we were "wholly true," even though we may not get all things "right." May our desire be to live out the "long obedience in the same direction," as Eugene Peterson describes the Christian life. Starla shares a recipe of Strawberry Cobbler: 1/2 c. salted butter 4 cups strawberries, hulled and halved 1/2 c. sugar for the batter: 1 cup self-rising flour 1 c. sugar 1 cup milk 1 tsp vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 degrees While preheating, place butter in the 9x13 dish. Once melted, remove from oven. Add strawberries and 1/2 c. sugar and toss to combine. For batter: Whisk together all ingredients for batter. Add strawberries to melted butter - do not stir. Pour batter evenly over strawberries - do not stir. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until golden. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream if desired.
