Name: Creamy Chicken-And-Rice Casserole
Ingredients: 6 7/8 oz One-third-less-salt chicken-flavored, (1 package) rice-and-vermicelli mix with chicken broth and herbs; 1 tb Margarine; 2 1/4 c Hot water; Vegetable cooking spray; 1 1/2 lb Skinned boned chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces; 1 c Presliced fresh mushrooms; 1/2 ts Garlic powder; 3/4 c Nonfat sour cream; 1/4 ts Pepper; 10 3/4 oz Cream of mushroom soup, (1 can) condensed reduced-fat and reduced-sodium, undiluted; 1/4 c Crushed multigrain crackers, (6 crackers); 1 tb Margarine, melted; 1/2 ts Poppy seeds

When God created the world, Genesis 1:27 tells us that He “created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” We have been created with gender distinction, but not race distinction. We are all in the human race. And unlike the rest of creation, all humans have been made in God’s image. To elevate animals above humans or to elevate one skin tone above another, reveals a failure to understand and appreciate the intrinsic God-given value of all human beings.
