We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

The real sting of suffering is not misfortune itself, nor even the pain of it or the injustice of it, but the apparent God-forsakenness of it. Pain is endurable, but the seeming indifference of God is not…We think of Him as an armchair spectator, almost gloating over the world’s suffering, and enjoying His own insulation from it. It is this terrible caricature of God that the cross smashes to smithereens.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE SALSA
Pick over and rinse beans.  Put them into a large bowl and cover completely
with cold water.  Let the beans soak overnight (or for at least 8 hours).
Or use the quicker method described in "Soaking Dried Beans". Drain the
beans and transfer them to a large pot.  Add the 3 cups water. Bring to a
boil over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes.  Stir in the onion, garlic,
oregano, and bay leaf. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for
about 1 hour, until the beans are tender.  Add the chili powder, cumin,
coriander, red pepper flakes, and  tomato juice, stirring to mix. Continue
to cook while preparing the rice.   Put in the rice and chicken stock in a
medium saucepan. Bring to a boil  over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat
to low, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until tender. In the meantime,
combine all the salsa  ingredients in a small serving bowl and set it aside
for the flavors to  meld.  When the rice is done, stir it into the bean
mixture. Ladle into bowls and serve with the salsa on the side.
