Name: Arroz Criollo (Early Spanish Rice)
Ingredients: 1/2 c Chopped green pepper; 1/4 c Chopped onion; 1 Clove garlic; (minced)- OR 1/8 tsp. minced garlic; 1/2 ts Basil leaves; 2 ts Hot oil; 2 c Water; 1 c Regular rice; 1 c Tomato; (chopped)*; 1 ts Salt; 1/4 ts Pepper

God warned Lot’s wife of the impending disaster. He tried to rescue her from His judgment. He even set her on the way to salvation, shepherding her to safety. But the bent of her heart was even more powerful than the grasp of the angels leading her by the hand. She gave proof that she had never taken God seriously when she would not sever her heart-ties with Sodom. She came as close to deliverance without receiving it as was possible. Looking to the past she destroyed her future. Having received the grace of God in vain, she passed the point of no return. Not even the fire and brimstone falling around her could heal her divided heart… We might feel inclined to ask why Lot’s wife paid such a price for her error. Oh, but she sinned grievously against the Lord. Not only did she lack the pioneering pilgrim spirit required of those who leave their former lives for a better city, but she was in love with the sinful world… What she left behind and still held in her heart obviously was very dear to her, dearer than the treasures of God.
