We begin with receiving and then rightly understanding Scripture in our minds. But before we apply the Bible, it must first engage our hearts. Without the mind, biblical application is based on flimsy and deceptive emotions. Yet without the heart, biblical application is based only rote duty and obligation. It’s never hearts informing our minds, but rather minds informing our hearts. Then when we obey, it’s a correct application of Scripture that comes from the affections – loving God with all of our hearts.

INGREDIENTS

1	qt	Milk
3 1/2	tb	Sugar
3/4	c	Long-grain white rice
3/4		Almonds; blanched and chopped
1/4	c	Kirsch or sherry
2	ts	Vanilla extract
1/2	pt	Heavy cream; chilled

INSTRUCTIONS

Bring the milk to a boil in a 2 quart saucepan, and add the sugar and the
rice. Stir occasionally. Lower heat and simmer uncovered about 25 minutes,
till the rice is quite soft but not mushy. Pour the finished rice
immediately into a shallow bowl to cool quickly. Add the chopped almonds,
sherry and vanilla.
Whip heavy cream in a chilled bowl with wire whisk until it thickens and
holds it shape. Fold it into the cooled rice mixture. Turn the pudding into
a serving dish and child before serving. Serve with a spoonful of warmed
cherry juice or Kirsch over the top.
NOTES : This is a traditional Danish dessert usually served after Christmas
Eve dinner.  The Danish chef hides a marzipan pig or whole almond  in the
dessert.  Legend has it that the person who finds the token will have good
luck throughout the coming New Year.
