There have been a myriad of Facebook posts and Twitter tweets about the gay marriage ruling last month. Many of my conservative Christian friends think of themselves as "courageous Christians" for standing against the ruling. At first, I tried to duel with them on Facebook and then gave up. I started posting a prayer instead of trying to discuss.
I found this saying in today's devotional:
The voice of a courageous Christian is an echo of the voice of God.
I wish I found this one earlier! Wow! Can that be our guideline for our posts and tweets? How about every word that comes out of our mouths? I know I need to work on that! Let's be courageous about helping people, fighting injustice, and loving others. That is the voice of God!

I have seen several variations on this recipe the past two weeks. I decided to share this one. It is smaller than the others, so there isn't as much waste if I don't like it or if I mess it up! I will let you know how it comes out.
Bacon Cheddar Potato Tart (Michael Smith)
About This Recipe
"This recipe is by a Canadian chef who I really like - Michael Smith. It contains only 3 ingredients (plus S & P!) and it's gorgeous to look at! Easy to make and would be great for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner. It's not the healthiest thing to eat - it's just good ol' comfort food. It takes a long time to cook, so plan ahead. Enjoy!"
Ingredients
3 baking potatoes, sliced one quarter inch thick
1 lb bacon, thickly sliced
1 lb cheddar cheese, grated ( orange coloured)
salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Line a 6-inch non-stick fry pan with bacon slices, arranging them in a radial pattern and starting with one end of bacon in the centre of the pan and the other end draped over the edge. When the entire surface of the pan has been covered, sprinkle with pepper and add a layer of sliced potatoes to cover the bottom. Sprinkle with grated cheese, salt and pepper and repeat layers until they are slightly above the top of the pan.
- Fold the bacon, one slice at a time up and over the potato mound toward the centre. Carefully overlap each slice and repeat until the top is completely and neatly covered with bacon. Press down and cover with a lid.
- Place tart on a baking sheet, which will catch any drips during cooking. Bake for 3 hours. It has to cook low and slow so the potatoes cook and the bacon doesn't burn. The lid will eventually come down and sit on the pan as the food cooks.
- Turn pan over and invert tart onto a serving plate. Cut into 6 slices.
