Boars Head Ham Turkey Pepperoni Muffuletta on White Mountain Bread


































2 Thessalonians 2:1-4


The Man of Lawlessness


[1] Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, [2] not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. [3] Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, [4] who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.

Luke 24:2-8


[2] And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, [3] but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. [4] While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. [5] And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? [6] He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, [7] that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” [8] And they remembered his words,


 

An ej original recipe!



4 Filet steak sliced thin 

2 large breast of Chicken sliced thin

Season with meat seasoning and toss 

Set aside for 30 minutes


Get your skillet hot, add 1 t oil, then meat.

Let it get browned on one side before flipping.

Remove to foil pan and do the chicken the same way.


I freeze half for an easy meal later, unless there's a crowd here. 

This holds very well in a warm oven, in three sections in a foil pan.

You can warm tortillas in microwave and seal in foil and they do really great.

Then when your guests arrive just pull out of the oven and build the fajitas.

1 large Onions, sliced

Luke 12:19-23


[19] And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ [20] But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ [21] So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”


Do Not Be Anxious
