[When suffering] you need to seek help. This help comes first and finally from the living God. He hears, helps, strengthens, and vindicates those who rely on Him. If you look anywhere else first, you will set yourself up for a fall. You will get snared in bitterness and revenge (spurning God for your pride). You will flee in avoidance and addiction (spurning God for your false refuges and comforts). You will develop a perverted dependency on others (spurning God for your trust in man). Sadly, our culture has awakened countless people to think about what evil-doers (“abusers”) have done to them, but it has cast them upon their own resources as “abuse victims.” Yet victims can properly understand their own sins and sufferings, and God’s grace.

My mother, Emily Smith, doesn't even remember where she picked up this
recipe, but she has been making it since I was a child. It is pretty basic
American chili, but you can soup it up with cayenne, Tabasco, more chili
powder, or anything else you can think of.
Brown the beef in the oil, along with the onion, garlic, and chili
powder. When the meat is brown and the onion clear, drain the fat and add
remaining ingredients, including the beans. Simmer for at least 1-1/2 hours
or until all is flavorful and the beans are very tender. This is better the
second day.
NOTE: My mother is convinced that cooking the chili powder with  the meat
is much better than simply putting the chili powder into the total mixture.
I am convinced as well!
