There is a judgment before us all. Words have no meaning in the Bible, if there is none. It is mere trifling with Scripture to deny it. There is a judgment before us according to our works – certain, strict, and unavoidable. High or low, rich or poor, learned or unlearned, we shall all have to stand at the bar of God and to receive our eternal sentence. There will be no escape. Concealment will be impossible. We and God must at last meet face to face. We shall have to render an account of every privilege that was granted to us, and of every ray of light that we enjoyed. We shall find that we are dealt with as accountable and responsible creatures, and that to whomsoever much is given, of them much will be required.

INGREDIENTS

1	md	Onion
1/2	lb	Salt pork
2		Ham Hocks, , halved
1/2	lb	Black-eyed peas, , dried
1	ts	Red pepper flakes
1 1/2	c	Long-grain converted rice

INSTRUCTIONS

Peel the onion, leaving it whole. Rinse the dried peas, discarding the
withered ones. In a large, heavy saucepan, lightly fry the salt pork, then
add the ham hocks, dried peas, onion and red pepper. Pour in just enough
water to cover, put a lid on the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat
and simmer for 1 1/2 hours, or until the meat has fallen from the bones.
Remove the salt pork and ham hocks from the peas. There should still be
about two cups of liquid in the pot for the rice to absorb. Stir in the
rice and cover. Remove the meat from the ham hocks and chop it into small
pieces. Place the meat back into the pot, cover, and simmer over low heat
for about 30 minutes, until the peas and rice are tender. Serve
immediately. Serves 6-8.
