Black Bean And Corn Burritos From Lhj

Mediocrity is a sin not unlike the other sins we battle as Christians. And mediocrity, like all sins, begins in our hearts (Jas. 1:14). Mediocrity is one of those sins that we can’t blame on others. It starts with the sin of pride deep within us that spills over to indifference or selfishness and then reveals itself in mediocrity. Overall, it is a lack of faith in God. It is a lack of rightly understanding and then believing and then being overwhelmed by the greatness of our God. It is the failure to be amazed by God’s excellence. Simply put, less-than-excellent efforts are a result of not admiring a nothing-but-excellent God.

Wednesday, December 03, 1997 11:18 AM A tasty vegetarian
bean-corn-and-rice take on the Mexican classic (believe us, you won't
miss the meat). To make these burritos, the tortilla shells are
dinner-plate size, which, when properly folded with the bean-and-rice
mixture in the center, encloses the ingredients in a neat package.
