A Present Salvation (from prayers of the Puritans)

May I be always amongst those who not only hear but know thee, who walk with and rejoice in thee, who take thee at thy word and find life there.

Keep me always longing for a present salvation in Holy Spirit comforts and rejoicings, for spiritual graces and blessings, for help to value my duties as well as my privileges.

May I cherish simplicity and godly sincerity of character. Help me to be in reality before men, to be faithful before I profess faith, to leave the world before I enter into prayer, to set my affections on things above, to shun forbidden follies and vanities, to be a dispenser as well as a partaker of grace, and to be prepared to bear evil as to do good.

My Eclairs

These were a bit time consuming but well worth it. I researched out how to make the perfect "Pate a Choix" dough first. Made a decadent custard with a whole vanilla bean, eggs, milk, butter and sugar and a ganache for the top with some Italian Perugina chocolate and heavy cream. The recipe only made about a dozen but I was thinking I could have just them smaller if I wanted to make more of them. They were a big hit with our fellowship group.
