Be much alone with God. Do not put Him off with a quarter of an hour morning and evening. Take time to get thoroughly acquainted. Talk everything over with Him. Pour out every thought, feeling, wish, plan, and doubt to Him. He wants converse with His creatures. Shall His creatures not want converse with Him? He wants, not merely to be on “good terms” with you, if one may use man’s phrase, but to be intimate. Shall you decline the intimacy and be satisfied with mere acquaintance? What! Intimate with the world, with friends, with neighbors, but not with God? That would look ill indeed. Folly, to prefer the clay to the potter, the marble to the sculptor, this little earth and its lesser creatures to the mighty Maker of the universe, the great “All and in all!”

INGREDIENTS

1	c	Basmati rice
5	c	Water
1	ds	Salt; optional

INSTRUCTIONS

Wash the rice thorougly in several changes of water and put in a
bowl. Add enough water to cover the rice by at least 1-inch. Soak
rice for 1/2 to 4 hrs. Drain the rice. Discard the soaking water.
In a deep pot, bring a large quantity of water - as for cooking
pasta- to a boil over high heat. Add the drained rice, stir briefly
to prevent the rice from settling. When the water returns to a boil,
set the timer and cook the rice exactly 4 mins. Drain rice in a large
sieve over the sink. Transfer the rice to a heated platter and serve
immediately.
