Covenants are not merely contracts or promises. Rather, covenants are relationships under authority, with both obligations and rewards. The terms and benefits of the relationship are spelled out, and so are the consequences if the relationship is broken. But what is perhaps most significant about biblical covenants is that when God enters into a covenant, He must condescend to initiate it, He sets the terms, He provides the benefits, and He executes the judgment when the covenant is broken.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cousin Walter and those who dined with him looked
forward to this well-chilled light beet soup on warm
days.  Milk, plain yogurt, or a combination of the two
can be used instead of buttermilk.
~------------------------------------------------------
~----------------- Melt the butter in a medium
saucepan.  Add the onions and celery, and saute over
medium heat for 10 minutes, or until the celery is
soft and golden. Add the celery leaves and cook for 2
minutes longer.  Add the remaining ingredients except
the buttermilk and dill.  Bring to a boil, lower the
heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the beets are
tender. Cool. Stir in the buttermilk and dill.  Chill
thoroughly.  From: The Tabasco Cookbook. Typed by Syd
