God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
When ye murmur and repine under cross and afflictive dispensations, this is a presuming to instruct God how to deal with you, and to reprove Him as if He were in the wrong. Yea, there is a kind of implicit blasphemy in it, as if you had more wisdom and justice to dispose of your lot, and to carve out your own portion in the world. This is upon the matter the language of such a disposition, Had I been on God’s counsel, I had ordered this matter better; things had not been with me as now they are. O presume not to correct the infinite wisdom of God, seeing He has decreed all things most wisely and judiciously.

INSTRUCTIONS
BROTH
RISOTTO
BROTH (30 min) Clean the shrimp, devein. Reserve the shells. Place shrimp
shells in large saucepan. Add garlic, onion, carrot, celery, parsley, water
and salt to taste. Simmer gently 20-25 minutes. Strain, discard shells and
vegetables, reserve broth and set aside.
RISOTTO (25 min) Heat 2 tablespoons oil in *large* skillet, saute onion and
garlic lightly, add shrimp, salt and pepper. Saute just until pink. Set
aside; shrimp may be cut in half, if desired.
In the same *large* skillet, over medium heat, combine oil and butter (or
use all butter or oil), saute onion and garlic until wilted but don't
brown. Add rice. Stir to coat, add a cup of the reserved shrimp broth,
cook, stirring frequently until rice has absorbed liquid. Add diced tomato
and wine. Continue cooking and stirring, adding broth 1 cup at a time,
until rice is creamy and tender but al dente (about 3 cups). This should
take about 18 minutes; adding shrimp during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Add more broth if necessary. Stir in cheese just before serving. One
tablespoon of butter can also be mixed in at the end for extra creaminess.
Serve immediately.
