Some advice… about first dates. For the man, be polite, well dressed, and on time. All of these things show respect and consideration. Don’t be so intent on impressing her with worldly things, such as your car and the money you can spend, at least if you are hoping for the kind of woman commended in the Bible. Take her to a place that will make her feel comfortable and safe. Take an interest in her, and don’t talk all the time. Ask her questions and listen to what she says in reply. You should be interested in getting to know her heart and the character of her relationship to Christ. Above all, our Lord commands you: “Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matt. 19:19). Your guiding rule should be to ensure that a woman who spends time with you is spiritually encouraged by the experience. You must take responsibility to ensure that conversation is wholesome and godly. Remember that you are out either with your future wife or with the future wife of some other Christian man. Start honoring marriage now (Heb. 13:4), and thus honor God. If this is not the woman whom God has for you to marry, then assume that her future husband may be on a first date with your future wife. Do unto him as you would have him do unto you (Richard and Sharon Phillips).

INSTRUCTIONS

POUND THE GARLIC in a mortar with 1 teaspoon salt. Pound garlic until is
has broken down to a paste, then gradually work in the basil, parsley,
thyme, paprika and tomato paste. Warm the oil in a soup pot, add the
garlic-herb paste and mix together. As soon as the oil is hot, add the bay
leaves and the onion. Sprinkle the saffron directly over the onion, stir
everything together and cook for 10 minutes or until the onion has
softened. Add the pepper, tomatoes, their juice and the water to the pot.
Bring to a boil then immediately lower the heat and cook for 25 minutes at
a simmer. While the soup is cooking, bring 1 1/2 cups of water to a boil;
add a dash to salt and the rice. Boil until the rice is tender, about
12-to-15 minutes, then drain. Stir the rice into the finished soup, season
with pepper. Serve the soup garnished with the fresh herbs and cheese.
