Job 10:4-9

    [4] Have you eyes of flesh?

        Do you see as man sees? 

    [5] Are your days as the days of man,

        or your years as a man’s years, 

    [6] that you seek out my iniquity

        and search for my sin, 

    [7] although you know that I am not guilty,

        and there is none to deliver out of your hand? 

    [8] Your hands fashioned and made me,

        and now you have destroyed me altogether. 

    [9] Remember that you have made me like clay;

        and will you return me to the dust?

2 c sticky Cooked Rice

6 large Egg Yolks, divided

1 T Cooking Oil

1 c Peeled Shrimp

1 T White Wine 

1/3 c Celery, mince

1/3 c Onion, mince

1/3 c Carrot, mince

1/4 t Ground White Pepper, to taste

1 t Salt, To Taste

1 t Lemon Juice, to taste

1 t Green Onion, chopped

Begin by mincing the celery, onion, and carrots. Set aside.

 

In a separate bowl, combine the cooked rice with 3 egg yolks. Mix thoroughly by hand until the rice is well-coated with the egg yolks.

 

Cooking the Shrimp: Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium- high heat and spray with cooking oil. Add the peeled shrimp to the wok and stir-fry briefly. Pour in the white wine to eliminate any odor, continuing to stir-fry until the shrimp turn pinkish in color.

Stir-frying the Rice: Add the rice and egg yolk mixture to the wok with the shrimp. Stir-fry the mixture, breaking up any clumps of rice with the back of your spatula. Flatten the rice to ensure it’s in contact with the base of the cooking pan for even cooking. Now, add the minced celery, onion, and carrots to the wok, followed by the white pepper, salt, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

 

Create a well in the center of the rice mixture and pour in the remaining 3 egg yolks. Stir quickly to distribute the egg yolks throughout the rice, cooking until they are just set.

 

Toss in the chopped green onions and give the mixture a few more stirs to combine.

 

Taste the fried rice and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, white pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

13 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. 

14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 

15 My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 

16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. 

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!  - Psalm 139:13-17

Mexi Rice

7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.

8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God,

9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,

10 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,

11 for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher, - 2 Timothy 1:7-11
