Criticism should be viewed as a tool for growth and change. Several temptations arise when we experience criticism. 1. We fear the loss of respect; 2. We look for reasons to challenge the data; 3. We search for flaws in the process; 4. We point out weakness in the other person; 5. We demand credit for our strengths; 6. We play the martyr, reeling under the unjust complaints of others. Yet, when we run away from the slightest hint of criticism, we forfeit the very means by which our Lord wants to make us more effective and godly.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a rice cooker dump:
Stir a little. Cover, turn on the cooker and wait for the "ding." Add more
aminos or soy sauce to taste.
Notes:
1) This recipe could, of course, be cooked equally well on the stove or any
other way you cook rice. Probably even a slow cooker would work.
2) The possible variations are nearly infinite--just add vegetables and
seasonings as your taste and pantry/refrigerator suggest.
