Rev. Joey N. Welsh. Memorial Day


ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor
Ebenezers for our Age, During a Weekend of Remembrance; this essay first ran in ColumbiaMagazine.com on May 28, 2006.
By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh
joey_e_welsh@hotmail.com

Verse two of the hymn, "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing," begins with a biblical citation: O' Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come. The Ebenezer of the song is a biblical site referenced in I Samuel 7. The Bible story there describes how Samuel leads the Israelites in sacrifice and prayer for God's help as the forces of the Philistines bear down upon them. God frightens the Philistines into disarray with a barrage of divine thunder; the panicky Philistines are then routed and utterly defeated by the Israelites.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Asian salad
blockquote>Pen sent this recipe for Asian salad on May 17, 2008: "Napa cabbage, red peppers, and green onions, dressed with soy sauce, olive and sesame oil, and rice wine vinegar with chopped ginger and garlic. Garnished with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes. Should have had chopped peanuts as well."
