Page 3 - THE FOOTHILLS VIEW - Friday, January 20, 1984 Aunt Biddie 's Kitchen It s no wonder to Aunt Biddie that some children are not doing too good in school, when they get sent out in the morning with nothing in their stomachs but old sugar flakes and honey pops. They see that on the television, of course-that they’re supposed to holler for such as that, till their mama gives in and buys the stuff. And sad to say, some mamas would as soon do it, so they’ll not have to cook. Oh, it’s no use for me to fix this or that, for the children won’t eat anything but sugar flakes,” they’ll say. ‘Course they won’t, if (^’s what’s put before ‘em. Once upon a time people used to fry chicken for breakfast, sometimes. Most every morning folks cooked side meat and made biscuits and gravy and cooked a pot of grits. Or, whoever got up first would put on a pot of oatmeal. Back then, there wasn’t any “instant” anything, and oatmeal cooked quicker in the morning if it was put to soak in cold water the night before. Lots of us never did like oatmeal much when we were little. But because the grown people pretended they did, children would eat it for they thought it was “adult.” Like sauerkraut, and hot pepper. Putting sugar on oatmeal I never did think did it any good. It wasn’t such an obnoxious thing as to put sugar on grits - yes, 1 saw a Georgia cracker do that one time, and it liked to gagged me. I reckon some people will put sugar on anything. But Scottish people. I’ve been told, just put a little milk on theirs. And Scottish people eat most of the world’s oatmeal, like it’s said that Republicans . eat most of the world’s rutabagas. So I guess they know. Whatever else one says about oatmeal, it is good for us, and it is cheap. And it works for a lot of things. Mixed with a little cold water, raw, and let dry on the face, it makes skin prettier and tighter. It is good to thicken gravy that’s cooked a long time with a roast. And it makes the best cookies. Here are some that cook on top of the stove, and are very quick to make. OATMEAL DROPS 2 cups of sugar Vi cup of milk 3 tablespoons of cocoa 1 stick of margarine Put all that in a pot and stir it over the heat. When it comes to a boil let it cook one minute by the clock. Then take it off and stir in: Vi cup of peanut butter -J teaspoon vanilla , , . , '3 (or more) cups of oatmeal When it’s thick and about to set up, drop it from a spoon on greased waxed paper. If it doesn’t want to get thick, put in a little more oatmeal. It’s just right when it makes creamy drops that hold their shape. For all the things that oatmeal can do. Aunt Biddie will tell you how it also can clear the house, if that is what needs to be done. 1 know for a fact that the remedy worked once. Back in hard times, relatives multiplied lots faster than the means to feed ‘em. If you had a good garden and an active chicken house, you had company. By the grace of the Lord we had those things - at least for a while. We had lots of company and that was all right as long as we had some recollection of who the guests might be. But one day Mama looked out, and there was a strange fellow and a frowzy looking sister getting out of an old touring car, with their suit cases. She was a little bit undone when they come up and flung their arms around her and Pa and called ‘em “cousin. None of us had ever lajd eyes on these folks before. But they sure did know how to eat. Now, the woman, she was supposed to be sick. That was what they said. So they got the best bed in the house, and I’ll tell you, they laid in it. That old heifer laid up there and groaned till ever’ chicken in the coop had been eat up. She gained till she probably couldn’t get up, sure enough. Well, my daddy cooked the breakfast every morning, and he made a discovery. The “patient” didn’t like oatmeal. So about the tenth week of the visitation, he commenced to cook nothing else. The man would come in the kitchen and see the oatmeal abubblin’, and look sad, and he’d go to the door and holler. Wake up darlin , your oatmeal’s acookin’.” And she’d glare and holler back, “I Do’ Want No Oatmeal!” In a few days they give it up, and hit the road. about your benaffe?

But if that is true then how can anyone ever be saved and go to Heaven, since we have all sinnced? - J.A. Dear J.A.: Yes, at first it seems like an impossibility for anyone to be saved and go to Heaven if in fact God does not allow any sin there. But your question touches the very heart of the Christian faith, and 1 want you to understand a very simple and yet profound truth that the Bible reveals to us. What the preacher you heard say is true, and it tru^ because God is holy. The Bible says concerning God, “Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong” (Habakkuk 1:13). We also read concerning Heaven that “Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life” (Revelation 21:27). At the same time, the Bible also tells us that we are all tainted by sin, for “there is no one who does good, not even one....for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:12,23). Clearly if anyone is to go to heaven their sins must not only be forgiven but removed. Can we do this ourselves, in our own strength? No! There is only one answer. If our sins are to be removed, God must do it. And the good news of the Gospel is that God has made this possible! When Jesus Christ died on the cross, he took upon himself our sins. He took upon himself the death and hell that you and I deserve. It is as if a judge had fined you for a crime you had commit ted, and then walked down from his bench and paid the fine for you himself out of his pocket. The penalty of sin is paid fully and complete ly by Christ, and our sins are taken away. “God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God” (2 Corinthians 5:21). Christ offers forgiveness to you right now. Is there any reason for you not to accept it? You can know that Christ has taken away your sins by opening your heart and life right now to Jesus Christ by faith and trusting him for your salvation.
