We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Emotion as a result of tragedy is not sin; rejecting God’s sovereignty and responding in anger or impatience is sin. Yes, we accept God’s plan in humble submission, but this doesn’t mean we don’t go before Him to weep and wail.

This is a bit different from most of the English Muffin type breads for the
breadmachine, as it uses sourdough starter.
In a small cup, combine the warm water and baking soda, and set aside for 5
minutes. Fit the kneading blade firmly on the shaft in the bread pan.
Carefully measure the flour, dry milk and salt, transfer to the pan. Add
the Sourdough Starter, water-baking soda mixture, oil, honey, and yeast.
Place in bread pan inside the machine and close the lid. Program the
breadmaker for the whole wheat mode. The unit will begin its operation. At
the end of the baking cycle, remove the bread promptly from the machine,
taking care as the oven surfaces will be very hot. Invert the bread pan
onto a wire rack and shake several times to dislodge the bread. Allow to
cool completely on the rack before slicing or wrapping for storage.
