"O God,

Thou art my God,

early will I seek Thee;

my soul thirsteth for Thee,

and my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land,

where no water is,

To see Thy power and Thy glory,

as I have seen Thee in the sanctuary."

Psalms 63: 1 & 2

This is a really good meatless recipe.  We enjoy the leftovers in a tortilla.
