From Pastor Toensing
Dear
Brothers and Sisters in Christ - like lasagna. All kinds of
different things layered together to make a good bite of food.
Layers of noodles; and sauce-the more the better, but it can’t be
too much; meat; ricotta cheese and mozzarella too! One summer when I
was a camp counselor the cook made a meatless lasagna for everyone
because one staff member was a vegetarian. I think it was made with
spinach instead of meat. It was one of the most delicious lasagnas I
had ever eaten. I can think of eight main ingredients that go into
making lasagna, but there are more depending on the sauce you use
and the spices you add. All those different ingredients, in the
right measure, and layered out, go into making a wonderful meal. (Read
