While the spiritual heart is most important, most relationships start off based on physical attractiveness (see Song of Solomon). Therefore, I submit to you that we demonstrate love toward our spouse by reasonably maintaining our attractiveness. After all, according to Scripture our bodies belong not to ourselves, but to each other (1 Cor. 7:4). What we are seeing to avoid is the popular mentality that says, “Get the ring and let my attractiveness do its thing.” Moreover, if the relationships are working correctly, our death is the most painful thing our spouses and children will ever encounter. I’ve done my share of funerals. I’ve seen this up close and personal. So how can we say we love them by willfully speeding up the process toward a premature death simply due to physical neglect? Is it a loving act if our grandchildren live the majority of their lives without us because we chose an unhealthy lifestyle?

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add cornmeal and saute, stirring
constantly, for a minute so all grains are coated with oil. Add the broth
and bring liquid to a boil whisking all the while. When this comes to a
boil it will bubble up. Quickly put a lid on and turn heat down to very
low; cook until it no longer tastes raw, about 20 minutes. Season with salt
and pepper.
Meanwhile heat 2 tablespoons oil in large skillet. Add peppers, cover and
cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Uncover skillet, crumble in ground
beef and cook until no longer pink. Add salsa and cook uncovered for 5
minutes until thick. Adjust seasoning.
To serve, ladle cornmeal in bowl; spoon beef and salsa sauce over top and
sprinkle with cilantro and grated aged Jack cheese.
