Pastors are sinners. They have weaknesses and faults just like church members. This is not to say that they are not to live as an example to the flock (1 Peter 5:3) and are not to have met certain moral qualifications (1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9). But we must be realistic about their sinful nature. They will continually do battle with the old nature which is still part of their lives, and will do so as long as they live. Total victory over sin will not be won in this life. Sanctification will take place; victories will occur; bad habits and sins will be overcome – but there will be many battles to fight until the day of glory… Remember that your pastor and his family constantly live in a fishbowl for all the church to see – and sometimes the sight is not going to be particularly attractive. They are humans also!

9	c	All-purpose flour; sifted

INSTRUCTIONS

This Mix collection is from a company called Jewel. I don't think that
their product is available any longer, so I have substituted just the word
shortening for the Jewel shortening. I have had excellant results using
either Crisco or (lately) Mazola shortening in these recipes.
Unfortunately, I think the Jewel shortening has gone to the shortening
heaven with Spry and several others whose name eludes me now. Thank
goodness the recipes have survived! *4 Tablespoons Combine sifted flour,
salt and baking powder. Stir well. Sift into a large bowl or pan. Add
shortening. Use a pastry blender to distribute shortening throughout dry
ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal and small peas. The
Bake-It-All Mix is now ready to use or store in a canister on your cupboard
shelf. A cool area is desirable. Yield: About 12 cups
