"And God divided the light from the darkness."-Genesis 1:4
    
    A believer has two principles at work within him. In his natural estate he was subject to one principle only, which was darkness; now light has entered, and the two principles disagree. Mark the apostle Paul's words in the seventh chapter of Romans: "I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin, which is in my members." How is this state of things occasioned? "The Lord divided the light from the darkness." Darkness, by itself, is quiet and undisturbed, but when the Lord sends in light, there is a conflict, for the one is in opposition to the other: a conflict which will never cease till the believer is altogether light in the Lord. If there be a division within the individual Christian, there is certain to be a division without. So soon as the Lord gives to any man light, he proceeds to separate himself from the darkness around; he secedes from a merely worldly religion of outward ceremonial, for nothing short of the gospel of Christ will now satisfy him, and he withdraws himself from worldly society and frivolous amusements, and seeks the company of the saints, for "We know we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren." The light gathers to itself, and the darkness to itself. What God has divided, let us never try to unite, but as Christ went without the camp, bearing His reproach, so let us come out from the ungodly, and be a peculiar people. He was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners; and, as He was, so we are to be nonconformists to the world, dissenting from all sin, and distinguished from the rest of mankind by our likeness to our Master.

OK I must admit this is not my original; however, I don't remember what site I got the recipe from...I just know it was quick and easy and oh so yummy....I was surfing and got stuck at this one site looking at all the yummy recipes and unfortunately I forgot to save the page... ARGH!  Any way here it the recipe for a White Chocolate/pumpkin spice Hot Chocolate.

Mix in saucepan 2 cups of milk and 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips.  put on stovetop and heat til the chips are melted and milk is desired temp.  As always stir and do not burn the milk  (may also do this in microwave if you desire and as always make sure the container is microwave safe)  After chocolate is melted and milk is desired temp whip in 1/4 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.  Once mixed well pour into favorite mug and top with whipped cream topping it off with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.  Now enjoy.  oh, so yummy...If you are a marshmallow lover I guess you could top with the new pumpkin spice marshmallows out by Kraft.
