Having lost the security of being rooted in the eternal reality of the Word of God, we are looking to busy activity to fill the void that has been created in our lives. And under that bondage to activity we find it difficult to linger with the Word simply for the joy of it. In fact, we may be afraid to stop our busyness lest it expose the shallowness of our lives. So we go on from activity to activity, from project to project. But activity is a dangerous source of fulfillment. Instead of finding our identity, our sense of self-worth, from our relationship with God, we begin to look to success in programs and other earthly indicators of success for our self-worth. But these will never satisfy. This will only enslave us more in our bondage to activity.

INSTRUCTIONS

Rinse the rice in a strainer with cold water and drain. Soak the rice in
cold water to cover for at least 4 hours. Drain again.
Toss the apple pieces with the lemon juice to prevent browning. If using
fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cobs.
Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add the onion, celery, and garlic,
and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, or until soft but not brown.
Stir in the rice and 4 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and
simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir in the peppers, apple, and corn, and continue simmering, uncovered,
for 10 minutes, or until the rice is tender but not too soft. If the rice
begins to dry out, add more water. If the rice is too wet, increase the
heat to high to evaporate the excess water.
Just before serving, stir in the herbs, cheese, salt and pepper. The
stuffing should be highly seasoned.
