When our inequity had come to its full height, and it was clear beyond all mistaking that retribution in the form of punishment and death must be looked for, the hour arrived in which God had determined to make known from then onwards His loving-kindness and His power. How surpassing is the love and tenderness of God! In that hour, instead of hating us and rejecting us and remembering our wickedness against us, He showed how long-suffering He is. He bore with us, and in pity He took our sins upon Himself. He gave His own Son as a ransom for us – the holy for the wicked, the sinless for sinners, the just for unjust, the incorrupt for the corrupt, the immortal for the mortal. For was there, indeed, anything except His righteousness that could have availed to cover our sins? In whom could we, in our lawlessness and ungodliness, have been made holy, but in the Son of God alone? O sweet exchange! O unsearchable working! O benefits unhoped for! – that the wickedness of multitudes should thus be hidden in the One holy, and the holiness of One should sanctify the countless wicked!

INGREDIENTS

2		Onions, chopped
2		3 cloves garlic
1	lb	Dried beans, soaked 4 hours
		Or over night
1		2 bay leaves
		Water to cover.

INSTRUCTIONS

Put in crockpot and cook about 4-6 hours on high or overnight on low. Beans
should be soft (small white beans take longest, pinto beans shorter)
Add spices, veggies, etc. (see below) cook about another hour.
Spices:, veggies, etc:
1) 1 tsp dried cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1-2 Tbsp. soy
sauce,   a few chili peppers, chopped, chopped green pepper, can chopped
tomotoes, some frozen corn. (Good with black beans) 1/2 tsp liquid smoke
tastes good added.
2) 1 tsp cumin, 1 can chopped green chilis, chopped green pepper, 1 Tbsp
soy sauce (good with white beans).
3) 1-2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup molasses, 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp dried
mustard, (good with pinto or black eyed peas)
Garbanzo beans I usually use as a substiute in chicken recipes, so I'll
freeze them with just the onions and garlic.  Frozen black eyed peas are
also a good staple to have on hand (for some reason that's the only legume
that comes frozen except for lima beans which I don't like).
