The root of both psychological and spiritual sickness is preoccupation with self. Ironically, the believer who is consumed with his own problems – even his own spiritual problems – to the exclusion of concern for other believers, suffers from a destructive self-centeredness that not only is the cause of, but is the supreme barrier to the solution of, his own problems. Usually such selfishness isolates him from the other believers, who if they were intimately involved in fellowship with him, would be regularly praying for his spiritual welfare.

INSTRUCTIONS

TOPPINGS
Cook ground beef and onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until
beef is no longer pink; about 6-10 minutes. Drain off any fat. (I have my
students dump it into a colander then back into the pan because they can't
drain it effectively otherwise) Stir in seasoning mix and continue cooking
for 1 minute. Stir in tomato juice. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally
until heated through -- about 5 minutes. To serve, ladle soup into bowls.
Each individual can then add additional toppings.
NOTES : * May substitute 1 teaspoon onion paste for the chopped onion,  if
desired. This comes in a tube like anchovy paste, is really quick to use
and eliminates the need to have students chopping with sharp knives.
