10 ounced frozen lima beans - thawed
1 large bell pepper - cut in strips
1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

  2. Spoon into a greased 3-quart casserole.

The Book of Qualities


Worry
Worry has written the definitive work on nervous habits. She etches lines on people's foreheads when they are not paying attention. She makes lists of everything that could go wrong while she is waiting for the train. She is sure she left the stove on, and the house is going to explode in her absence. When she makes love, her mind is on the failure rates and health hazards of various methods of birth control. The drug companies want Worry to test their new tranquilizers but they don't understand what she knows too well: there is no drug that can ease her pain. She is terrified of the unknown.

O God


God,
what a waste!
He was so needed
by us all
...by You.
and yet You kill,
it seems at will,
Your young,.
Your trained,
Your highly skilled
(and not a few)...
Stephen first
...then James...
and...
O God!
our Savior, too.
Did I say "waste"?
Forgive
the stupid words
we cry
in anguished haste.
The Gardener
plants
and reaps
with skill.
...it's only
that we're left here
still.
