We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

We will do much better if we trust someone who was actually dead, not someone who was just near death. Christ, as we shall see, is the only One who is qualified to tell us what we can expect on the other side. He was dead – so dead that His body became cold and was put in a tomb. Three days later He was raised from the dead with a glorified body. Here is someone whose opinion can be trusted. To John this risen Christ said, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and Hades “ (Revelation 1:17-18). Reliable information does not come to us by trying to peer behind the partially open curtain. God alone knows what really lies on the other side of the veil. And that is why we can do no better than study what the Bible has to say about the Great Beyond.

Quick Bean and Rice Salad

January 24, 2023

CATEGORY	CUISINE	TAG	YIELD
Grains			1	Servings

INGREDIENTS

1	pk	(14 oz) C&W frozen Sweet Corn, Black Bean, Red Pepper, Green Pepper and Celery Salad
1	cn	(15 oz) of garbanzo beans, drained
2	c	Cooked brown rice (great way to use up leftovers)
1	cn	(4 oz) of chopped green chilis
1/4	c	Salsa (or however much you want to use)

INSTRUCTIONS

I adapted a Bean and Rice Salad recipe from the McDougall Program for
Maximum Weight Loss to make it quicker. Those of you who are looking for
something quick to make for the family, or want something fairly portable
in a cooler, this is a good one. Very satisfying, and a complete protein.
This was another invaluable recipe that saw me through my pregnancy. I kept
a bowl of it in the refrigerator pretty regularly so I could just scoop
some up for a quick meal.
Empty the bag of frozen salad into a strainer and run cold water over it
for about 30 seconds to start the thawing process. Toss all the ingredients
together, let sit for at least an hour so the flavors blend, and you've got
a great side dish or a satisfying main dish. Good for picnics, potlucks,
you name it!
