The Apostle Paul in Galatians 6:3: “For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.” Charles Elliot, renowned Bible scholar, commented on this verse.

“My kingdom for a real recipe!” I finally boiled over. I’d Googled it, YouTubed it, searched it, researched it, boggled my mind about it — a process I’ve often used with moderate success.
