Great Expectations

The morning finds me here at heaven’s door
A place I’ve been so many times before
Familiar thoughts and phrases start to flow
And carry me to places that I know so well
But dare I go where I don’t understand
And do I dare remember where I am
I stand before the great eternal throne
The one that God himself is seated on
And I I’ve been invited as a son
Oh I I’ve been invited to come and

Believe the unbelievable
Receive the inconceivable
And see beyond my wildest imagination
Lord I come with great expectations

So wake the hope that slumbers in my soul
Stir the fire inside and make it glow
I’m trusting in a love that has no end
The savior of this world has called me friend
And I I’ve been invited with the son
Oh I I’ve been invited to come and

We’ve been invited with the son
And we’ve been invited to come and

Believe the unbelievable
Receive the inconceivable
And see beyond our wildest imagination
Lord we come with great expectations

Black Bean Soup

1 pkg dried black beans
1 large onion
6-8 cloves garlic
1 quart chicken broth
1 can of stewed tomatoes
1 pkg turkey kielbasa

Boil the beans for 10 minutes and pour out water. Replace with 3 quarts of fresh water and add chicken broth. Add chopped onion, crushed garlic, and tomatoes. Bring to a hard boil and simmer for 2-3 hours. Check water periodically to ensure there is sufficient water remaining. Saute the kielbasa until warmed through and add to the beans about 30 minutes prior to taking beans off the heat. Take beans off the heat when the beans are soft, but before they turn mushy. Add salt at the end, so it doesn’t absorb and lose flavor.

Serve with cornbread.
