Pledges and guarantors for debts...

Verse of the day:  I started working on this yesterday but didn't finish.  Therefore, I will include it today. 

Prov 22:26 - Be not of them that strike hands, of them that are sureties for debts.

We all know about vows and co-signing a loan. However, here are a couple of thoughts that might challenge your thinking:  1. What is it called when we are pressured to "pledge" to support the annual church budget?
2.  A congregation needs to raise funding for a building projects.  "Pledges" are solicited from the congregation.  And if you don't pledge, you are treated like a pariah - even though you may not be able to afford it.  
*****Are these two things scriptural?  



Baked ziti for Miss Evie:  

1 24oz jar of your favorite sauce.  I used Newman's Own-Sockarooni...I think
1 lb ziti
1 15 oz container of ricotta cheese
1 8oz pkg of shredded Italian cheese.
1 lb ground Hot Italian sausage.

Cook the ziti while you're browning the sausage.
A 13 x 9 pyrex.  Put a layer of sauce on the bottom. Then start spreading the pasta over the top in a layer. I used a big spoon as it was hot.  If I had a large bowl, it would have been easier to mix the pasta, cheese, sauce, etc.  Sorry, no bowl.  
Then I dotted half the ricotta cheese with a teaspoon.
Add sausage evenly for the next layer.
Then add the remainder of the pasta over the top of the meat.
Add remainder of ricotta cheese on top.
Add remainder of sauce evenly over top.
Add 8 ounces of Italian shredded cheese over the top
Preheat oven to 350 and bake for 25 min.

Bachelor thoughts after sampling:  it could use more hot italian sausage.  And it could use a bit more sauce. It would also be good with onions, green peppers and mushrooms.  I omitted those.  The 13 x 9 pan was full.  If I did add the additional ingredients, I'd reduce the pasta a bit. Try it and let me know what you think.

Get out in nature and enjoy the beauty of God's creation.  If you are in Fargo ND, the photo above was taken at the NDSU Gardens on 22 June 16.
