Basic Pancakes – We Love God!

Isn’t it strange how a $100 'looks' so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall. Isn’t it strange how long it takes to serve God for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball. Isn’t it strange how long a couple of hours spent at church are, but how short they are when watching a movie. Isn’t it strange how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend. Isn’t it strange how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time. Isn’t it strange how hard it is to read a chapter in the Bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a bestselling novel. Isn’t it strange how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back seat at church services. Isn’t it strange how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a church event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment. Isn’t it strange how hard it is for people to learn a simple gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip. Isn’t it strange how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, or to think, or to say, or do anything. Isn’t it strange how you can send a thousand ';jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Isn’t it strange how we set our clocks to arise at 4:00am or 5:00am to be at the job by 7:30, yet when Sunday comes we can't get to church for 11:00am to praise the one who gave us the jobs! Isn’t it strange how we call God our Father and Jesus our brother, but find it hard to introduce them to our family. Isn’t it strange how small our sins seem, but how big 'their' sins are. Isn’t it strange how we demand justice for others, but expect mercy from God. Isn’t it strange how we are so quick to take directions from a total stranger when we are lost, but are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives. Isn’t it strange how so many churchgoers sing 'Standing on the Promises' but all they do is sit on the premises. Isn’t it strange how people want God to answer their prayers, but refuse to listen to His counsel. Isn’t it strange how we sing about heaven, but live only for today. Isn’t it strange how people think they are going to Heaven, but don't think there is a Hell. Isn’t it strange how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant. Isn’t it strange how when something goes wrong, we cry, 'Lord, why me?' but when something goes right, we think, 'Hey, it must be me!'

Ingredients

INSTRUCTIONS

cups   flour 3 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt (very important) 1/4  cup
sugar 2 eggs (or equivalent egg beaters) 2 tblsp oil 1 cup milk  Sift
(I never do) dry ingredients in bowl and stir in liquid  ingredients
with wire whisk or spoon until mixed.  Do not beat. Rub  griddle or fry
pan with oil. Heat until water dropped from your hand  bounces around.
Drop about 1/2 ladel/1 large mixing spoon for each  pancake.  Cook
until bubbled all over the top and brown on bottom.  Flip, cook until
brown on other side. Keep you griddle very hot at  all times.
Variations    Substitute 1 cup whole wheat flour for white flour.  
Substitute buttermilk for whole milk and 1 tsp baking SODA for 1/2  tsp
baking powder.    Put some pecan or walnut pieces in with your dry
ingredients (this  keeps them from sinking).  Or put in some
blueberries ..  also with  dry ingredients.    Increase your eggs.
This will make them a little more like a  crepe. Top with sliced
apples, brown sugar and cinnamon and fold in  half.
