A Mighty Fortress - amid our mortal ills

Avocado Chocolate Pie
 There are some ills in this world that are perfectly addressed by chocolate.  How much better when you didn't even have to use cream to make the filling for a chocolate pie?  Kudos to my friend who grew up in the Philippines, where she regularly ate avocado with cream & sugar...chocolate adds a whole new dimension!

Other ills are less easily dealt with: pain, suffering, shame, death...especially sin.  Yet God prevails and the soul that comes to him finds rest despite the outward tumult.

 A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper, he, amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.

So here's our replication of the fortress where Martin Luther hid out.  Michael is gathering provisions.
our not so mighty fortress
